  2. The stuff they give you to tackle the affects of prostate cancer comes with long lists of the likely side affects, none of which mention the destruction of your taste buds and the resulting ability to turn an expensive Sunday dinner that took many hours to prepare into a meal indistinguishable from something bought from a caravan in a lay-by.

      I know the feeling. Though my situation is not as bad as yours. My asthma medication has some similar effects on how things taste.I can't enjoy a strong curry these days.

  3. First sighting of a red kite right over our house. They've been encroaching into South Wales from Brecon for some while but not yet seen one right over head - until now!

      Wait until they start to swoop down low and whistle at you. They are rather noisy as well as rather large. In the last year or so they have started to sit on a tree in the garden rather than just circle around. Up close they are a wonderful sight.

  11. Catalan independence is a political topic and therefore "off limits" according to the forum guidelines. Those of us who have friends and family in Spain will understand that this is an extremely sensitive and divisive issue. You may feel soldarity with the Catalan independence movement but a modelling forum is not the place to express that solidarity.

      I an just surprised that the folks at the other end of the Pyrenees didn't beat them to it. We all should be aware of the leanings of the man with the flag. I might even change my avatar to the flag of my choice.

  25. Been a difficult day today. On Tuesday my Mum (who is 95 and has Alzheimers) fell and broke her hip. The excellent medical team at William Harvey Hospital, Ashford got it stitched up but found her bones are cracking up and prognosis is not good. After long talk today with very sympathetic doctor at the hospital agreed to DNR. Maybe most difficult deciscion I'll have to make but Mum's had a good innings. Sure it's what she would want me to do.
