I see Katrina has been down graded to a catorgory 2 , we see pictures of the sea lashing over the levies,

Do these storms always rotate in the same direction, I think if not influenced in any way, water down a plug hole seems to turn only one way. To do with the earths axis of something.

Just another Wednesday? Kf, what a remarkable account. If you ever write a book let me be the first to know.

To see the archive footage of World War young soldiers drafted in to go to war, bonded together by a common aim, some going willingly others not, waiving and smiling as they board their transport not knowing what their fate will be.

I think it’s the families left at home who truly do the suffering but men are now not sacrificed as cannon fodder, as in the first world war.

Yes we did see the reports of your young soldier, and think long and deeply, of why they should be sent to far away shores, only to come home as he has.

I hope the weather improves for you.

Your neighbour will never live it down will he? One of those mistakes that is rather too visible for his liking.

I guess if we move fast and have no trouble, no cows get out and no issues unrelated to planting, maybe we could get done in 6 days. I know this is hard to believe, but we can start with almost too much moisture and if the wind is blowing out of the southwest and it is about 90, by day 6 we may not have enough to bring the beans up.

How many days planting beans do you have to do KF.

Children of any age are tiring! Ours has just turned 9 months and is exhausting. Now he can crawl and climb things, you cant leave him be for a second or he is chewing your phone or destroying the newspaper.

We have given up saying "It will be easier when he can sit/crawl/walk/talk/feed himself" and replaced it with "It will be easier when he leaves home" but then I expect he will need a farm buying then :(
