Really you couldn't make it up! 

A student at the Oxford Union tells Tommy Robinson he is lucky they've put security on for him otherwise their Pro-Islam supporters outside would beat him to death.

She has just made the oppositions point for them  but is too stupid to know it .

Many people are glad to see the back of her ! 

Try The Woman in the Wall on Netflix.. It was originally a BBC drama so may be on i.player.

I've got a Miele cylinder too, it's great but I did find it a bit heavy to lug about.  I bought a Dyson cordless, they're overrated in my opinion - a bit like their £400 hairdryers !     I also bought a cheapo one from Amazon which works better than the  Dyson, it even has a light !  So the cheapo I now keep downstairs and the Dyson is upstairs where it's just laminate flooring, apart from the landing which is carpet.

I am not at all surprised.   So that alone is going to put the prices up as they will have to buy extra feed towards winter, if they are having to use it all up now.

Quote from: muddy on August 02, 2026, 05:00:15 PMThe farmers around here have and a bumper hay crop it is just earlier .
Also straw .
In Spain all the horses are fed on straw as opposed to hay .
Here I think the cattle are being given supplementary feeds they all look well and fat .
The sheep are being fed too .
I haven't seen any pigs around at all so I suppose they are indoors somewhere .

If they managed to get their hay fields cut early,  they were lucky indeed.     It hasn't rained for so long now that I doubt the grass has  regrown.    It hasn't round here.

Feeding horses on straw?  Surely there can't be much goodness in that for them?
Just looked it up, and it says it must never be fed as a sole diet.   It  is mostly used as a low-calorie diet for overweight horses.

I must admit, I haven't seen any outdoor pigs round this way for years.   Poor things.

I was just looking at your avatar Granny.   Two little Robins in the snow.   Hard to remember what snow feels like now, isn' t it.

Hot again tomorrow, rain forecast for Tuesday 🤞🏼It's been just nice today, sunny and breezy.

We have a Miele cylinder.  They are really rated.  It's the second one we've had, lightweight for the stairs, but really good.  It's a dog and cat model, so called because it picks up hairs really well, our late lamented moggy used to shed.
