On a day when all the rest of news is sad or bad, it is great to hear some good news for once.
This Newfoundland is being trained to rescue people from the sea in Swansea.
The picture came from the Daily Mail and you can read more about this Super-Dog here
Hooray! I have to say that I for one am delighted that Formula One is to return to the BBC after twelve years of missed moves during lengthy adverts.
I have long advocated that ITV needed to insert a window into the adverts so that people could continue to watch the racing that they had tuned in to see, as is done on Spanish TV.
But this new announcement is even better.
All I hope now is that the Beeb has the sense and fortune to include Martin Brundle in its production team…. he was the one worthy asset ‘owned’ by ITV.
I am perfectly happy for my TV licence fee to be used to allow me to watch what I want to see without interruption by long and often boring adverts. Meanwhile for this season, I shall have to do as I always do, and go and make a cuppa during the intervals

Last week, we had to transport a beautiful and very energetic Labrador dog to the vet. His visit was for castration, which is always performed before rescued animals can be re-homed into families as pets. (more…)
Yes…. another year has rolled by….
So get out the chocs and flowers and give somebody you love a hug
Happy St Dwynwen’s Day !
Stop Press News! Santa will be in the RSPCA CHARITY SHOP in Gorseinon this week. (more…)
Regular visitors to my little blog will know that on a couple of days a week, we drive the ambulance for the RSPCA in Swansea. Today we had to take a beautiful grey and white cat, aged possibly about two years, to the vet for a check-up, after she arrived at the Centre. She had been brought in by one of the Animal Collection Officers from Mountain Ash where she had been found straying in the past couple of days. (more…)
Whilst I was clearing up all the airborne rubbish after the three Guy Fawkes nights (Saturday, Sunday, and Monday the 5th), I reflected that in these days of affluence, ‘Bonfire Night‘ has more to do with noisy and colourful (and very expensive) fireworks than bonfires. (more…)
We had a lovely canary called ‘Blodwen’. When we rescued her from a tiny cage, we thought it was a ’she’, because the only sounds to come from it were shrill squeaks. (more…)
