Yes, I think it's dosing cattle with diclofenac thats been killing the poor things - so I'm sticking to paracetamol and codeine only.

Super! Nature Notes
Good pics Appy! And Barn Owl and Partridge are cracking garden birds. My favourite garden birds are the predators - Tawny, rather than Barn, Owl, and Sparrowhawks. There is often a Buzzard or two overhead, and in early summer, the odd Red Kite. Whe…

I've had lots of opportunity to watch the birds at my garden feeder this year. The secret is to keep the feeder topped up every day, so that they make a visit as part of their daily routine. Haven't had anything unusual, but there is cons…

What`s the last film you watched ?
Has anyone seen The Danish Girl (starring Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander). Any thoughts? I am considering going as my annual Xmas treat.

oooh - time for the annual boss fight. Santa v Jesus. The local Catholic school is celebrating by adding some holly to the life size statue of a man being tortured to death that stands next to the entrance. That'll get the kiddies in the mo…

RAAAAAAANTTTTTT!!!!
Well, enforced rest means I got to watch most of yesterday's Parliamentary debate on whether to bomb Syria/IS. It seemed to me to exemplify the best and the worst of Parliament. The good thing was that, thanks to Corbyn's decision to allo…

How do you feel today?
Thanks, PG. That's a brutal regime! But I may give it a try. Maidentrip definitely sounds better than my TV watching yesterday - the Parliamentary debate on bombing Syria....!

I've been struggling with extreme breathlessness this year. It's been getting worse and I haven't even fallen in love. The cardiologist says I have significant heart and lung problems and I must start on ACE inhibitors and Beta block…

Alison on BBC6 Music Tomorrow night (Nov. 20th) Reviewing new music up for the Mercury Prize
Even if the programme wasn't my cup of tea, I shouldn't forget to pay tribute to Alison. Again, she did her "casual" mention of Lisa, saying that her "girlfriend" had been playing one of the nominees around the house no…

Alison on BBC6 Music Tomorrow night (Nov. 20th) Reviewing new music up for the Mercury Prize
I just listened to this. AG was one of a four-person discussion, and the music interspersed with jiingles, trailers, listeners' tweets etc. Everyone did that sort of guarded, diplomatic critique - "I love her voice...maybe the production…

Blue Monday was a big event for me too. I remember it dominating the clubs and bouncing around the corridors of the nurses' home I lived in in Fulham at the time

Yes, and i think the example of Syreza in Greece, Podemos in Spain the "Arab Spring" and so on are all important too.Even where the radical anticapitalist/antiestablishment movements ultimately fail to bring about utopia, they at least kee…

Jeremy Corbyn
I give him two years before he is destroyed by the system. But in the meantime, it is great that we get a bit of an opportunity to hear that there really is more than one way the world could be organised.

Logically (HA!) If you tell them, then no matter what they say, it would be like letting life in, don't you think, in all its messiness - creative, disorientating, crazy, exhilarating, crushing... Are you feeling up for that? If you don'…
