Breaking news

Fisherman frees humpback whale

Fisherman frees humpback whale

A humpback whale tangled in a fishing line off the Perth coast has been freed.
The nine meter humpback had been struggling for hours caught in the fishing line off the shore near Two Rocks on the Western Australian coast.
A fisherman had spotted the whale, and stayed with it until Sea Rescue and the Department of Environment and Conservation came to help.
Whale experts say the gentle giant was distressed after being stuck for almost a day.

Mellow Yellow Monday #180

A very problematic issue! It's that time of the year again. Next door neighbours want the trees cut again. This has been going on since I moved in. (See post on 26 & 28 June  2010 & 18 June 2011).
The birds & I love these trees.
They make a great screen but the leaves fall over into next doors gutters & their pool. So they now have to go - completely!!I should be happy that the fence is wood not unsightly Hardifence!
Can anyone put a positive spin on what I can do to hide my view of their back yard? Something that doesn't cost much money!!!

Coincidence?

Yesterday as I was doing my daily trivia quiz I came across this question: 'Which "Cadbury's Chocolate" did Frank Muir advertise singing to "The Nutcracker Suite"? I had no recollection of this ad but thought Fruit & Nut was the answer. Yes, I was correct!
15 hours later I was reading yet another book by Nigal Slater ' Eating for England' (I do so love his writing) & there it was a whole paragraph on Cadbury's Fruit & Nut.
