How methane becomes fish food

Instead of counting sheep.. in winnie the pooh style – kept awake wondering what the equivalent of fish breathing and burping is – and finally gave up and got up and looked for explanation online and found this – it seems fish benefit from methane released by bacteria in lakes and the sea although […]

Do chickens burp?

When you look happily at a lovely piece of brie, chocolates or if you are a meat eater – steak – new research confirms that cows when they burp release significant amounts of methane – from the front not the back. Perhaps its something to do with double stomach. We do eat dairy but […]

War of the Worlds – H. G. Wells

Most useful bit of advice picked up long while ago without reallizing it – at primary school. Taken me a while to reallize. We were having a reading test and i was completly absorbed in what i was reading that forgot it was a test – think it may have been H.G.Wells – War of […]

Lewes Bonfire

We havn’t been to Lewes for a few years – but if your local, it will draw you back but the roads into Lewes shut very early and dont open again until middle of the night. Trains sometimes dont stop at Lewes on Bonfire Night – to discourage big crowds of people coming here […]

My mum spent a while in hospital and on the way in travelled in an ambulance and the ambulance drivers reallized how scared she was and gave her someones lost teddy bear. A lost bear but in the right place at the right time Lost? Im not lost, I know exactly where I am. Right […]

Hope is the thing with feathers

“Hope” is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops – at all And sweetest, in the gale – is heard And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm I’ve heard it in the chillest […]

Royal Mail International Charges

Royal Mail Charges – a table to work out the cost It is little cheaper to wrap, weigh, print and pay for your shipping label at home (The cost of sending from UK internally and to elsewhere in the World)

Grapes

We have two maybe three small rows of red grapes – Chambourcin variety. The vines grow prolifically – wherever they touch the ground, they root. They were planted by a gentleman whose son was trading at the top of twin towers in New York. His sadness was always not far away. We inherited – raspberrys, […]

French Toll Roads, Swiss Vignette and ViaMichelin

Finally have some time and worked out how much spent on toll roads during a short road trip through France this summer – a lot, more than double the cost of a vignette for Switzerland valid for 6 months. Even more when you include the almost 3% interest rate my bank charged me for converting […]
