I don't really get that,  because there has hardly been a breath of wind for weeks, has there.   

The wind often causes them problems. It isn't just surface wind it could be wind higher up too.

It could also be a way of chickenng out of course but TBH I doubt it. They are way ahead of the old Montgolfier methods and my betting is that those monster gas burners are very safe because they'd have to be. I haven't checked but I doubt there will be any news reports of fires started by those balloons. Unlike the toy ones with a little package of something flammable under a tissue paper envelope that people sometimes launch at hight.

Well I don't know which piece of woke nonsense backed by which piece of legislation is getting the blame but you are correct in that utimately the only need need to fix it is political will. These days that is rarer than hen's teeth and the odds on him coming up with stopping the early release are pretty long imo.
I did sign the petition. My first time ever on that site although I have signed countless others on the government site as I consider that the correct way to embarrass them.

Yes I think I will now.  I do like Octopus.

They also are a much easier company to talk to if you need them.  
I find them miles better than British Gas used to be,  and that is why I changed over a while back now.

Today at 06:39:02 AMI hope it works 🤞🏼.  One of my son's dogs gets something itchy on her paws, she licks them raw if they don't spot her doing it.  Like you, they bathe her and put ointments on, but it comes back.  The latest suggestion is it might be the grass irritating her skin? Cone of shame is on at night 😢

It's difficult isn't it Granny.    I know its meant for the best,  but we probably all know what it's like to have an itch you can't reach to scratch,  so imagine the torture if his feet are burning and itching all night and he can't reach them.  On the other hand,  he might well make them worse if he did!  Difficult isn't it.

When Liffey's feet were like that,  I have got an old cat litter tray which I fill with cool water just a couple fo inches deep,  then I lift her up and stand her in it.  I thought if her feet are burning,  the water might soothe it for a while.  I've also got a small plastic bowl I hold and dunk her feet in that too.
I wondered once, whether it was anything to do with weed killer sprays they use don't the park sometimes,  or even

I suppose if it is an allergy of some kind,  we can only try to help them this time,  but it won't stop it coming back again, will it.  I also wondered if it was grass pollen?


P.S.  I just googled about that, and interestingly, this is what I found.  This could easily explain why its a seasonal thing with Lif.


Yes, grass pollen can affect dogs. Unlike humans who usually sneeze or get runny eyes from hay fever, dogs typically react through their skin. This condition is known as canine atopic dermatitis.
Dogs do not even need to touch the grass to react; airborne pollen can trigger symptoms indoors or out.


P.P.S.

Very well done Granny.

Andy Burnham has asked for ' a moment of reflection ' as he issues a statement on Jason Arday .
I wonder why he didn't ask for one for Anne Widdecombe  whose funeral was a few days ago .
Or maybe he should reflect on the grief of Andrew Harpers mother and family upon who his government  is about to inflict more pain as they see his smirking killers walk free.

Human rights for murderers but not for the victim ?
The sentences for these two miscreants was too little to start with now it will be a shameful joke .

And he could draft a new exemptions
For those guilty of manslaughter.
All it needs is political will .

This will sink him .
The people will see him as he is a ruthless politician  who will do what he wants not what the people want .
Over a million people have signed this petition which is more than those who voted for Burnham in the Makerfield set up job .

Could be he can't act. Lots of government power has been passed over to quangos, and courts, Those courts rule by our human rights act which incorporates European human rights law various international treaties and probably loads more stuff that wants weeding out. I'm pretty sure that he'll be saying that it is all out of his hands and that may even be true. The whole rotten ediface needs a huge chopper and the politicians just don't seem to have the balls to take it in hand 

SFA 
Over a million signatures and he will not act .
One the contrary he sanctions their release .
Absolutely shameful .
