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
Today is St Valentine’s day.
I am indebted to kitmarlowescot2 … via Stonehead for these pictures of a delightful Gloucester Old Spot piglet born this week with appropriate markings for the occasion
Happy St Valentine’s Day…. give someone you love a hug…… and be kind to everybody you meet… little things like just letting somebody out in traffic, for example, can be contagious and spread like ripples on a pond.
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 !
Last week I felt inundated to saturation point both by chicken welfare and by healthy eating. (more…)
