Hi all. Off to read last week's latest posts.
Annette: Glad that you weren't hurt severely by that vengeful rose bush.
The photographer said that the black penguin was well accepted by his peers. Here are several more photos of him: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1256577/One-rare-bird-Black-penguin-suffers-zillion-mutation.html Back later to catch up.
Good afternoon Alan know what you mean about inspiration to go out in the garden. Such a lot to do but too cold to be out there for long.
Glad you saw PMQ's yesterday as it was very entertaining and the Speaker was quite humerous too.

Thanks Gary I don't think I would have an impression if I had started to have my say, it was an extremely lively session yesterday. As you say what a sense of history you get I was so impressed with everything I saw and can't wait to go back and have a good look round.
Hello Diane thanks for the links about the black penguin.
There was a lovely story about a penguin in a wild life park close to us last year. Instead of moulting over the course of about 6 weeks he lost all his covering in a very short time and they had to make a little wet suit for him until his feathers grew back. He looked very cute and didn't seem to mind at all and neither did all his companions.
Annette meant to say earlier sorry you had an argument with the rose bush. Lovely flowers but the thorns are so spiteful. Hope you are not too sore.
Good luck with the ironing Annette!! Just put it back in the closets and see if anyone notices..
Diane, great picture. I have no idea but would be good to think it was real.
