This lady picks up discarded vapes on her runs, & she points something out that I didn't know (mainly bc I never thought about it): They contain batteries. These are paticularly damaging for the environment & should be recycled. I'll pay extra attention on my walks from now on.

She was remarkable really doing empirical studies on hygiene and I suppose what would be called epidemiology and the spread of disease. We have antibiotics now then what was a simple infection could be a death sentence. Lots of her nurses were high Anglican nuns at the time

national. He has permanent residence. As a citizen of Austria you cannot have dual nationality. Farage would take his little flat off him. He tutors the teen boy over the road for free doing O' level German. Terrible really what Farage intends.

Jack Munroe has a lovely cheap recipe mixing salmon paste into spaghetti. If money is tight makes nice spaghetti. Surprisingly tasty.
Bloody hell, thereโs a memory from the past..
I had many a paste butty as a kid, & I also remember potted beef which you can still get today๐๐๐๐
When I ran supermarkets in the early 80โs we sold hundreds of jars of paste, Shiphams was the other brand๐๐ #memories

โIf we canโt pull you out, Pooh, we might push you back.โ
Rabbit scratched his whiskers and pointed out that, when once Pooh was pushed back, he was back, and of course nobody was more glad to see Pooh than he was, still, some lived in trees and some lived underground. ~A.A.Milne
