Cats always seem much more independent than dogs-perhaps if Hollie put the food slowly nearer the house, then indoors the cat might realise that this the place to be-the attacking bit is the worrying thing
All through the Forest are speed restrictions that most people seem to obey-you do not want a pony or a cow or a sloth hitting your car
Geoff, if you are there I have a question for you. Where do you keep your cheeseplant over winter ? I haven't grown one since the 80s - always think of them as retro plants. Do you think it would be o.k. in the conservatory ? We do have heating in there but only tend to use it when it gets really cold or do you think it would be better to keep it in the house ? Thanks.
Jean it sits in a corner of a room-seems happy enough-I think as a lot of them are kept in offices it doesn't need or want great light- that is why they became popular.
I wouldn't worry- they are pretty tough
Have just sat through one of those property programmes- a choice between Cornwall and South West France-it was a really annoying couple who kept going on about views-is that really top of the list?-wouldn't want to over look a sewage plant but a view is not high up on my priorities
They settled on France- but you wonder if it went through.
It's blooming (not) awful weather here- absolutely chucking it down a few moments ago!
Daughter & me went to GC for coffee & egg custards- yummy- & have just finished the remains of a cauliflower savory. This is 1 meal I DO add salt to.
Gary- if HBP is hereditary, then diet alteration only has limited success. Have never added salt to meals, ok certain ones I do, but if I didnt take my meds I would be costing the NHS even more!
Have started to remove things from understairs. Realised not everything needs to come out- good- but just enough to allow sensible access to the gas meter. It's also dawned on me that may need to empty the airing cupboard, in part, at some point.........
He, he daughter has actually removed her body warmer as felt too warm. How many yrs have I been saying how good they are? J.
Forgot to say got a reduced price Fatsia Japonica from GC. Nice specimen, less than half price. Will pot it up & keep ready to put into the border from where the Acer was felled. Do need to do a lot of work on the compacted soil there & stain up the newish fence panels there before I can do the replanting.
Daughter stopped me from getting a reduced price Honerine Jobert though, as I know it just doesn't like me!!! Doesnt stop me wanting it though... J.
I didn't know that high blood pressure was heriditary (although some might be). Cutting down on salt is just one measure, but can be effective in the short term. It's not a matter of not dosing your dinner with salt, but salt is in an awful lot of food, especially processed food. I believe there's as much salt in one slice of bread, as in a packet of crisps. Long term it's also about getting rid of fatty deposits in the arteries, so that means cutting down on unsaturated fats, and increasing foods that can reduce cholesterol, which some can. BP monitoring, at home, or by a nurse, can tell how things are going. High blood pressure is asymptomatic - there are no apparent symptoms. Until the person has a heart attack, which can be fatal. At least, that's my understanding of it.
Re eating rabbits, squirrels, deer, cows, etc. There's a flip side to that...

IME HBP is hereditary, but I could have inherited the heart failure form t'other side of family, but havent. Luck of the draw.
It's still b****y raining!
Ok understairs awaits.... J.
I have been out had my hair cut, done a little shopping, a little lunch, all is well in the world.
I have inherited low blood pressure, I add loads of salt to my food
I would list a view as a high priority
I had a hair cut on Sunday and didn't need to go out
Have been lying on my back staring into the eyes of a loved one-yes have been to the dentist again
I don't think I could be a bus driver-the views are all the same
