@aidan,
Swimming is a great exercise. With the heat soaring here I just wish I could swim in a cool pool.

@verbivore,
Pool swimming I do enjoy in my neighbours yard. However to be honest I prefer to take a dip in the ocean which is nearby.

@Dutchy,
Nearby my home lives a community of kangaroos and some of the old bachelors have "moved out". Every time I see them, their massive size, their quiet dignity, I feel at peace.

@spikepipsqueak,
Peace prize is one of five Nobel prizes bequeathed by the Swedish industrialist and inventor Alfred Nobel. The Peace Prize is presented annually in Oslo, Norway, in the presence of the king, on December 10 (the anniversary of Nobel's death), and is the only Nobel prize not presented in Stockholm, Sweden.

@Dutchy,
Sweden, after qualifying in the group stages, were knocked out of the last World Cup by the hosts, Germany, who booked their place in the quarter-finals after two early goals from Lukas Podolski secured victory over their depleted side. They had had a man sent off and were down to 10 men.

@spendius,
Men are basically pussycats, if only you can convince them that nobody is attacking them and get them to shave their manes. If only they weren't so obsessed with batting leather around fields. Very Happy

@spikepipsqueak,
Fields women worked on farms at many different tasks in the 19th century. The women who did it were described as unsexed and immoral.

@Dutchy,
Immoral women in those circumstances, particularly on warm summer evenings, were noteworthy for their lack of good taste and decorum. Something had to be done about it to prevent everything going to pot.

@spendius,
Pot complaining about kettle, which happened quite a bit in the C19th. Sounds like the problem was oversexed and hard to control.

@spikepipsqueak,
Control yourself spikepipsqueak by mentioning the word oversexed. You have a very respectable reputation here, keep it that way. Smile

@Dutchy,
Way out west in Wyoming (in North America) Devil's Tower rises into the sky. Theodore Roosevelt, president at the time, named it the first national monument in 1906; the Native Americans call it 'Bears Lodge' and consider the area sacred, a place for prayer and renewal.

@aidan,
Renewal of marriage vows is for married couples wishing to re affirm the vows of love and commitment they took on their wedding day. Original bridal party members or family often participate.

@Dutchy,
Participate at your own risk. The expectation that everything will be made safe for us, sanitised and removed from the need to think independently just gets on my hump.

Hump at your own risk. You gotta do what you gotta do- that's what I always say (and truly believe).

Believe what makes you feel better about yourself. Why not: it's a free country isn't it?

Dust is settling nicely after the rains. My neighbour just told me he had six ringtail possums literally drop out of the trees in the hot spell, dehydrated.

(He was able to save all but one)

@spikepipsqueak,
Dehydrated means that your body doesn't have enough water in it to keep it working right. A person gets water by drinking and eating.

Eating at the Captain's Table is the epitome of good taste. The poshest are on cruise liners with Dutch oil tankers at the other end.
