little finger - what else?!

[Joyce]

Maybe it's Scottish.  I thought everyone called their little finger their pinkie.

Have you considered it was a pipe with a hole in the middle that was the size of your pinkie  .

And yes I have always called my pinkie my pinkie

I think statistics say we all swallow a good few spiders in our life time. Mainly when we are asleep

ROughage    it's the legs that get inbetween my teeth though    ...... if you think seriously about what prisoners of war have to contend with 

Thanks for the lovely photos - are there 14 baby birds with their Mum?  Also, the woodpecker is like the ones that visit my friend: you know the one whose friend had the spiderlings .... 

There's a thrush singing close by this eveing, I will leave the window open and listen whilst I'm in my bath

Not in my world I don't .... Now where's the Sellotape !

Rattlesnake just outside my front door as I started to walk dogs this evening.  Posted on other thread, but this sure as heck is wildlife.  Scared me to pieces.  Very venomous.

HB I did think that at one point, but there were bubbles coming up at regular intervals.  Ok I know it sounds like I've lost the plot, hubby thought that.    If it hadn't been in a canal I would normally have thought that it was for aerating the water, like in a fish tank.  Ah well, like my daughter says, I question the daftest of things!  Me?! 

Trey, that would have scared the &^%$ out of me!  Heck my niece on her first ever visit to Oz, before moving there, got bitten by a poisonous spider and ended up in hospital.  That would have put me off moving there for sure. 

As for swallowing spiders, while we sleep.........

I have always called it a pinkie too (both here in the south and in east anglia) and so do all the children at school.

Long pipe leading into canal - could it be from one of the outer over-spill ponds?  How about asking the water board?

I don't do snakes <shudder>

Just before the heavy rain storm I picked our first broad beans.  They have been cooked in water with sugar and salt added, bubbled gently for 5-6 mins.; drained and butter added with black pepper scrunced over.  YUMMY ............. 

[Joyce]

Not asking water board as I don't live there, only visiting.  I was just curious.  Curiosity killed the cat and all that.

You could send an e-mail to the local canal bods to find out more? 

[CLKD]

They will find it. Have you got your camera ready?
