nice one lads...


I've got sweat breaking out
But I try, try to conseal
I've got a savage root
And it's a growing pain

Feelings pushing through
Pushing through, through
Through, through, through you
And I found myself in the hothouse
I found myself in the hothouse

Spend too long looking in
Looking in from the outside
Now it's time to give in
Time to get inside

Feeling's pushing through
Pushing through, through
Through, through, through you
I found myself in the hothouse
I found myself in the hothouse

great memories,,,

[Icey]

These what you used to bop around to?

[tomsk]

I saw them in 1982 at Hammersmith Palais...
What about it?

The singer was manic depressive and through himself under a tube train ,
he was only 41...a real loss...

[Icey]

Nothing "about it"Watson! I was just asking if you used to dance away to their music!

[tomsk]

still do Icey still Scooby Doo!

[Icey]

Well done then! I'd collapse in this heat. It's still baking up here.

[tomsk]

I don't like the SOUND of that...
chortle...

[Icey]

Today there's a good wind blowing things about, but it's still very warm (for here anyway) - about 21 degrees.

[tomsk]

you blowing off up there Chuck?

[Icey]

Aye lad, it looks like it! : )

Well I've read that a heatwave from Spain's going to come and scorch your part of the country in a few days' time. It won't reach us though, although it should remain quite warm.

[tomsk]

and return to rain soon after...

[Icey]

Indeed, but no one can moan about us never having any summer. Up here, all the heat's been a rarity, but once the temperatures start to plunge, they don't just go down by a degree at a time; it's like by 10 degrees or more! No wonder everyone ends up with a cold or a bug.

[tomsk]

A bit of rain does me fine and I prefer coolness to heat...

[Icey]

Me too, and I don't mind rain so long as it's warm with it.

Thinking about any deluge to come, I'm going to build my hedgehog/s a substantial home later on today, using wood from the pile that's chopped. All the food I put out last night was eaten, and I think it was a hedgehog who took it, because a lovely half-grown one was sitting on the lawn when I went out to look. : )

[tomsk]

well done you,
I've not seen a hedgehog in years they used to seen quite regular round these parts...

[Icey]

Same here. Then about 4 years ago, we stopped seeing them. One of our dogs unfortunately killed 2 babies, which really upset me, but then, out of the blue, I saw a big fat one in the garden 2-3 weeks ago. I saw it again last weekend, and then what looked like a younger one yesterday. Fabulous.

[tomsk]

I would think you would see more in your parts, much more..
I wonder where they have gone?

But it is habitat fragmentation that gets the experts really worried. This happens when, for example, a green space is cut in two by a road. gee..

[Icey]

It does. Swathes of concrete and buildings being put up wrecks the habitats, so all animal life, including insects and birds have to retreat further and further away to find pastures new - if they can. Some die out because of it, or, like hedgehogs, become endangered.

[tomsk]

for goodness sake ..
why do humans F up so much?
