Gave my wind chimes a wash and spruce up, they were more than a bit mucky.

Not long back from the beach, The coming of Summer Viking Festival was on while we were there. Acted out by locals and the towns Heritage Centre.
I really must get back into the habit of carrying my camera again, I stopped after I lost Dageus. These are only phone pics.

Would it be worth having a separate board for pets and animals ? 

Dreadful article in the DM
Unfortunately I know that this one is true
The treatment of horses in Egpyt is horrendous .
Throughout the Middle East and Far East Horses and Donkeys are treated cruelty but Egypt is one of the worst .
I support the Charity ,The Brooke Hospital which helps horses as much as it can in the Middle East

Anti-Semitism has gone on for centuries. I read somewhere that
the early excuse was that they killed Jesus. The jews have twice 
been banned from Britain. I remember my mother talking about
a friend being 'Jewed' - cheated. Whether the cheat was really
Jewish, I was too young to ask.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a different matter; it is about 
land as well as hate. 

The Bible says there will always be war and rumours of war. 
How right it is!

Quote from: muddy on Today at 06:43:24 AMIt's the go to answer for everything that goes wrong .
It always the Jews
They are too rich / too clever / colonisers / invaders / whatever else you like to pin on them .
I am surprised they haven't been blamed for global warming and the demise of the polar bear !

Losers love to hate them .

"Vasily Grossman said: 'Tell me what you accuse the Jews of, and I'll tell you what you're guilty of.'"

Yes.  In short, jealousy!  The brainless incapable condemning the capable and competent.

Nel sat on a bench to escape the vapour
But then she spotted some crinkled paper
She picked it up and read what it is said
And it was a  love letter from May to Ted
What her Ted? She'd stop that little caper

My son used shop-bought weed-killer, which he used in a watering can, on
my cobbled bit last year. I don't know what it was, but the weeds haven't yet 
returned. 
Yay!  

Then all of a sudden there was a smell
And it was Pat,  brewing a spell
Well brewing a spell is what he said
But the pong was enough to wake the dead
And Nel's conversation it did quell.
