Thames Water sent me an email today explaining why the hosepipe ban was still in place. What perplexes me is who on earth would be thinking of watering their gardens now.

This is very strange!

Someone has removed the hills that were in the distance. They are usually very pictureskew in lots of different colours according to the light and/or sunshine. It looks very odd when they are not there at all!

They started with moving things from your drawers/cupboards, now they're moving hills.

What'll they move next!!

I'm surprised that medieval knights lived long enough to worry about fighting
Did people in the Middle Ages have the same diseases that we have today? By examining skeletons, archaeologists can tell how old the person was when they died, and sometimes what they died of as well. It seems that only one out of every ten adults lived to be as old as fifty. Many babies, children and teenagers died. Common diseases were dysentery, malaria, diphtheria, flu, typhoid, smallpox and leprosy. Most of these are now rare in Britain, but some diseases, like cancer and heart disease, are more common in modern times than they were in the Middle Ages.

There were regular waves of 'pestilence' or plague throughout the Middle Ages, but in 1348/9 an illness came to Britain that killed more people, even the young, strong and healthy, than ever before. It came into Europe from the East, carried by the fleas that lived on black rats. Its signs were a fever, a terrible thirst, and dark blotches under the skin. It was from these that the disease got its name - The Black Death. Almost half the population of Britain died of it - that is, nearly one and a half million people.

I stumbled across something mundane earlier. When Jack Hargreaves devised 'How' in 1966 it was intended to be only him presenting an adult orientated interesting facts show at 11pm after pub kick-out time. No Fred or Bunty and not for kids.
We were spoiled with Southern TV.

I have sent off an e-mail to the office of the state treasurer, and am now eating a pizza slice. A dog would like all my pepperoni slices.

Madam Poppy does not like portuguese custard tarts.

Unlike Madam Lexi.
