I have looked at my blog again and realise that I have been absent for far too long, more than a year for a proper blog so heres a brief run down of my year. We had new windows and doors put in during March, the house is a lot warmer but because of that the heating doesn’t come on as much and I feel the drafts that are still lurking from somewhere.   I suppose some  of it comes down from the chimney and others through the airbrick British Gas forced me to put in the dining room when we had a back boiler. Well the year in terms of weather has been a bit grotty, that wet that I’ve not had any real inclination to do any gardening.   It’s been kept tidy and I do have a man that comes to mow once a fortnight during the growing season, well worth the £30 a month to come home and look out onto a pristine lawn.   The other thing that held me back from doing any gardening was my frozen shoulder.   It’s improving slowly but initially it was well painful, my chiropractor is a good at t

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour (Don't try this at home, maybe at work) The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. (Honey, I'm home. What the...?) The flea can jump 350 times its body length.
