Just come back from the dentist .
She is very good and gentle .
What is most painful is the bill .
£343 for a restoration ( old filling fell out ) and clean and polish .
Worse I need more treatment .
Several old fillings are failing and need redoing .( They show up on x rays ) 
I need to think about this ☹️

Anyway,  at least I can blame the bran flakes,  and you two haven't even got bran to blame when you start!    :grin:

The British Geological Survey, ( the agency that measures earthquakes and tremors in the U.K.) has a note on its website...

 A Mups Movement is an eruption that causes small seismic movements in the U.K. and can register 1.3 to 1.7 on the Richter scale, enough to rattle your best China in the display cabinet. This should not be a cause of concern although the downwind hazard might be cause for concern for those with breathing problems.

The Chat Room / Woody
Last post by Scrumpy - July 14, 2026, 11:33:12 AM



This is Woody .. He was found in the road.. He sat on my barn door for a while.. Nobody stole or claimed him.
A teacher from the little school opposite my house asked if he could have him.
He said his class would 'love him'.

I am not too clever at putting a pic up.. It would seem I pressed a wrong button somewhere.. Two pics!!!

All that is doubtless true but the numbers they produced are still based on calculations based on their study aka guesswork not from counting causes of death on death certificates.  Not that they would be accurate either as hearts attacks strokes etc. all occur in the dead of winter too and I suspect very few mention heat as a factor at all.
