Title: Autumn
Post by: Doreen on 02 Sep, 2019, 12:21:50 pm

Well that's the end of summer for us. Our near neighbours have all gone back to their winter homes and kids will go back to school next week.
It was a great summer and we enjoyed parties with friends and family. The only down side is I have put weight on. It was good while it last but now it's boot camp.

I went out for a long fast walk today, and its nil by mouth until we go on holiday in November.

I am intrigued Doreen. Is "its nil by mouth" a typo mistake or one of your Irish expressions?

Lol, it's an Irish expression I suppose. It's like when you are in hospital and fasting before an operation. I'm on liquids and I don't mean wine 😂😂

Rabbits jump and jump and live for 8 years !!
Dogs run and run and live for 15 years !!
Turtles do nothing at all and live for 150 years. !!
Lesson learnt.
I'm with the Turtle.  😹🐶🐰🐢🐢

Bowhead Whale - Average Life Span Over 200 Years
One hundred may be old for humans - and tortoises - but it's nothing for the bowhead whale. In fact, he’s only middle-aged at that point in his astoundingly long life. This species of whale can live for over 200 years. According to BBC Nature, a bowhead can survive for over two centuries because he has a very low body temperature - and the lower an animal's body temperature, the longer it can live.

Stay cool  :freezing:
