We've had banks of cloud for the last 2 sunsets. It was clear again tonight but the sun overshot the London eye bullseye. Oh well, next chance will be when it's on its way back.

I’ve always wondered. What’s so good about bees knees?

They just fly off the plate.

I’ve just had some Carr’s Water Biscuits with butter and blackberry jam. Oh and tea.

What are "Carr's Water Biscuits"? The name is anything but appetising.

I just found this video about the boats made at the Reha workshop I work in. It's fairly self-explanatory despite being in German.

My workshop deals with the boat making up until the stamp in the video, and the sails:

The work is done by people with a long-term psychological disability, and/or learning disability.

They are like Jacobs crackers but round and thinner.

My wife and I were up the top of the garden watering some plants when all of a sudden some brambles started twitching . The rustling got louder and then a frog leapt out followed by 2 Hedgehogs. The hedgehogs continued to wander around in our plants close together as if one was towing the other. They ended up disappearing into nextdoor garden .

Yes but it is a bit weird with all that milk and heaven forbid , bloody sugar eeeugh !

I don't put sugar in my tea. And only a sploosh of milk rather than a deluge.

The sun's escaped for now but the moon's just given me an idea....

Where'd the frog go?
Other than it hopped it as fast as possible.

I remember a French woman who translated the French ''une nuage de lait'' into English. Apparently, the people serving her had never heard of a cloud of milk.

Or you could have moved to your left and taken another photo?

Moved to his right. If he'd moved left, it would have been more off-centre.

Well, one's feet are the original zoom and tilt/shift lenses in photography

I first ran across it in the Asterix books.
