HI all: I'm late starting this. Be sure to check the last two pages of the previous Weekly Chat - some interesting links, news, updates on nest data, photos. I haven't had a chance to read them all but off to do that now.
Unknown said: Annette: I'm not sure what to make of today's stock market crash. Some of the explanations sound suspect to me -- I feel sort of like Mr. Spock: "That's illogical". The mattress may, indeed, be the safest option :-) Need to go to bed, but I'm watching the UK election results. I've been reading the "manifestos" of some of the parties. People in the UK appear to be much more practical than in the U.S.; they don't get as caught up in abstract social/religious issues.

Diane: Religion plays no part whatsoever in UK politics - thank god! ;-))

Thanks for that link, jsb - we love that programme, & still watch the repeats. You can imagine all the 'deals' that have to be made by all concerned when you have watched what goes on, in this case.
Forl those off on holiday soon ( CIRRUS/ ALAN/MARGOBIRD) hope you enjoy yourselves and hope you are back in time for the hatching. CIRRUS Stayed in Tobermory once and took a boat trip to Staffa and that dramatic cave. Fingal our last Goldie was of course named after it and Fingals cave is one of my favourite pieces of music
Thanks dibnlib fingers crossed will be back in time for hatching.

Thank you BrendaH
For anyone who is interested there are some lovely video clips of the 4 newly-hatched Derby peregrine chicks being fed http://derbyperegrines.blogspot.com/ It is wonderful to see how gentle the adults are when feeding their young.

Thanks DjoanS those chicks are so cute, lile little cotton wool balls. As you say the adults are just so gentle.
Lindybird: I think some of your old ingredients for long-forgotten "must try this" recipes are in my kitchen cupboards.
jsb: Hillarious clip. Must remember to rent those videos from Netflix. :-))
