    There's only one exotic vets specialist around here but he's been very good and inexpensive the couple of times I've needed him. I did question his expertise though when he brought out a 4" square wound dressing and a large tube of anusol to treat an eye infection on my small lizard. Apparently nothing is made in small lizard portions so even the packet of medicated food they gave me would have fed her for years rather than the few weeks he recommended.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    We've got a 'do' on at the Gardening Club tonight and were planning to walk there and back so we could have a drink or two of the good stuff. It's p.....g down with rain again - every ten minutes or so,  guess who'll be on the lemonade!

    Drive there. Leave the car . walk home. If it's raining, you'll be too wet inside  to notice. Walk back tomorrow to pick it up. The walk will help with the hangover drive car home.

    Good thinking B3.

    Have just watched the Beeb 2 prog on the RA show this year.   Didn't see a single piece of art featured to which I'd give house room - tho surely there was something good in there but off camera? - and it ended up with some oik screeching down a microphone while playing his guitar.  Why can't people sing anymore?

    I went to an RA exhibition a couple of years ago. I found it inspiring in that I looked at the exhibits and thought: I could do better than that in the dark with a broken wrist and a pastry brush. But what do I know?

    Well, what I don't understand about art would fill an encyclopedia or 3 but won't tell me why "vocal artists" shout and screech or mumble and moan instead of singing in key and on note.

    It's the vocal equivalent of throwing a can of paint at a canvas. #The king is in the altogether#

    But then Obelixx, you don't like Neil Young, one of the best artists of the last 50 years.
