Wife, Sprat, makes her own version of a Piadina type of flatbread from the Rimini area called Cuscioni (Sp?). Although it is superb, it is not quite how I remember it from my childhood.

Looks like maybe our favourite scouser has decided to move.

I was just reminiscing to myself about a particular time on our "Grand Tour" when we were visiting a place in Tuscany called Bolgheri. Most people would never have heard of it let alone visited it.

I learn, with great sadness, that Carol B has died. Many here will remember her well for her unwavering courage, determination & humanity. She was a strong & intelligent lady that did not suffer fools gladly.

This weeks subject is  Dialectic Eclecticism and it's place in modern life. Do we need it?

Hi T.T.C, I've got a "post body".  Is that you have the post body there but you can't type any text into it?  If you have got the post body box and just can't get it working, try the tabs below the box.

 Just been to visit a nearby friend and she has this huge red and purple raised and now scaby looking area on her neck and chest...Looks awful. She says she was grass cutting and got bitten ,(quite painful) and the thing,(?). She didn't see it, left a small black dot on her neck. This got hot and very itchy and spread all across her neck and down her chest. Visited Doc who said it was "Herpes" ???????????????????? No way. So what did the biting this time??Sprat

 Made me oily and sticky and didn't work very well.But heard a good tip that does work. After finding you have been bitten you can apply nail varnish to bite (only tried on mozzie bites) it excludes the air and stops the itchiness. Really works. But of course, red blobs everywhere dont look good!

We have a hornets nest, second year now and are never bothered by them. They fly around our heads whilst we eat outside but have never attacked or really come near. The tales I have heard did worry me but I leave them alone and they leave me.Sprat
