The episode aimed "Green" tells the story of how (we think) plants estate sea and took over the land. They were covered I that episode. At the end, scientists discussed how they came to discover that they were indeed fungi. npub1888vg7xmhhjarljdd2vdfxskfw2rhdc32qj49m5xn04uvzp98kyshpm9se NormanDunbar @nprofile…2ch3 @nprofile…p227 Spit? npub1888vg7xmhhjarljdd2vdfxskfw2rhdc32qj49m5xn04uvzp98kyshpm9se NormanDunbar @nprofile…w8nk @nprofile…la7y I read, I think on the BBC web site, that the privatised water companies paid out more in dividends to share holders than would have been required to resolve *every* single water leak problem. npub1888vg7xmhhjarljdd2vdfxskfw2rhdc32qj49m5xn04uvzp98kyshpm9se NormanDunbar #WritersCoffeeClub npub1888vg7xmhhjarljdd2vdfxskfw2rhdc32qj49m5xn04uvzp98kyshpm9se NormanDunbar @nprofile…la7y From a double LP to 15 CDs?

"Jesus Christ!" he exclaimed. npub1888vg7xmhhjarljdd2vdfxskfw2rhdc32qj49m5xn04uvzp98kyshpm9se NormanDunbar For goodness sake! Just went to the local hotel for supper. The place was full of a chess convention with chess players everywhere in Reception telling us all how great they are at chess. Honestly, there's nothing worse than chess nuts boasting in an open foyer. npub1888vg7xmhhjarljdd2vdfxskfw2rhdc32qj49m5xn04uvzp98kyshpm9se NormanDunbar @nprofile…x9jp Oops!

Today is my nephew Michael's funeral. He died of Early Onset Alzheimer's at the age of 35 on the very day of his daughter Grace's second birthday.

Up early today to finish shifting furniture before the decorators arrive. Wish us luck! Then Wesley is off for a night with some new friends (the human kind) which he will enjoy, but kid on he hated it when he gets back! npub1888vg7xmhhjarljdd2vdfxskfw2rhdc32qj49m5xn04uvzp98kyshpm9se NormanDunbar @nprofile…35ec @nprofile…hq4z Way.

Stick the clocks on GMT/UTC and leave them there.

It is a separate thing which makes a shed load of cash every year. Out of that cash income, it pays for the royals. The remainder, the biggest sum, goes into the government coffers. npub1888vg7xmhhjarljdd2vdfxskfw2rhdc32qj49m5xn04uvzp98kyshpm9se NormanDunbar I saw a man carrying a long "stick" today. I asked him "Are you a pole vaulter?"

MrsD is on doggy duties today for a couple of hours, as I'm off on a "Geology of Portsoy" walk this morning.

Its beneath me. npub1888vg7xmhhjarljdd2vdfxskfw2rhdc32qj49m5xn04uvzp98kyshpm9se NormanDunbar Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Saturday. Its the weekend! Oh I'm retired, it's all weekends!😉 yesterday's buggy fix found some *interesting* diagnostics on the batteries and charger. Nothing I could fix, but info for the dealer. Weird is not the word! npub1888vg7xmhhjarljdd2vdfxskfw2rhdc32qj49m5xn04uvzp98kyshpm9se NormanDunbar Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Thursday, our last full day in Fife. I suspect we will be back on the beach with Wesley today, he loves the beaches around here. MrsD's foot is still a problem, so walking any distance is well off the menu! We shall see what today brings, hopefully it will bring breakfast! Have a great Thursday everyone, have fun, have laughs, tell bad jokes. Take care. npub1888vg7xmhhjarljdd2vdfxskfw2rhdc32qj49m5xn04uvzp98kyshpm9se NormanDunbar Funny isn't it? npub1888vg7xmhhjarljdd2vdfxskfw2rhdc32qj49m5xn04uvzp98kyshpm9se NormanDunbar @nprofile…60lz @nprofile…cfuw Office broadband sabotage? That's a new one on me. Would you have a link to the story you refer to please? (Thanks, in advance.) npub1888vg7xmhhjarljdd2vdfxskfw2rhdc32qj49m5xn04uvzp98kyshpm9se NormanDunbar @nprofile…5ek2 I use a media player. Clementine on Linux. Or the default one in Linux Mint, the name escapes me just now, if I forget to "open with". Plus, I only buy CDs, no downloads. Rip to FLAC/OGG. npub1888vg7xmhhjarljdd2vdfxskfw2rhdc32qj49m5xn04uvzp98kyshpm9se NormanDunbar Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to a new week. Monday has landed, all too soon some might say! Today we are taking Wesley dog to the opticians! He's just visiting, MrsD and I are picking up our new glasses. Wesley is well loved at the opticians! Have a great day, even though its Monday, have fun, have laughs, tell bad jokes. Take care. npub1888vg7xmhhjarljdd2vdfxskfw2rhdc32qj49m5xn04uvzp98kyshpm9se NormanDunbar Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Thursday. MrsD is not happy! The foot doctor has told her to restrict her walking to 2 miles per day! Good luck on that front, doc! We are off to see a new build house or two today, near Fochabers. Should be interesting. No sea views for MrsD though. What are you up to today? Whatever it is, have a great time. Take care.
