Plan B got there first.<br /><br />The rescue effort was a magnificent display of teamwork.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099800771817882569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-21512359266976583052010-10-14T15:41:43.472+01:002010-10-14T15:41:43.472+01:00had a good giggle about "good king henry"...had a good giggle about "good king henry", being edible, but not tasting very nice:)) I have quite a few books which give infos about edible plants, and most of them, when tried, end up as being edible, but not necessarily very nice to eat:)) I'd say there is a reason, why certain veggies are grown all over - and others are not. ok, if I ever end up in a survival situation, I won't starve, but that isn't very likely here, even in the west of ireland! <br />and I agree about growing what I like - and I happen to like fresh potatoes or carrots very much!! not much use in trying to grow artichockes and chillies, if noone wants to eat them....<br />the one downside of rescuing those peruvian miners to my mind is that this is ending in a total media frenzy, where they get offers of book contracts, film rights etc... instead of just being happy for them and their families that they're safe now.Woolly Bitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11961632742998726155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-75638306082219696542010-10-14T15:07:00.265+01:002010-10-14T15:07:00.265+01:00I had almost the same thought yesterday- it was a ...I had almost the same thought yesterday- it was a 100% good news story. Very refreshing. It will be interesting to hear the miners' stories as they are able to share them.kristieinbchttp://journeynorthof49.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-89815168219461846012010-10-14T13:14:57.604+01:002010-10-14T13:14:57.604+01:00I was struck by the use of NASA technology and exp...I was struck by the use of NASA technology and experience. Who would have imagined that what was useful in space would be used to bring men up safely from deep under the earth. We watched some coverage on the spanish language channel as well. A very different approach to to the coverage, very emotional.Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-85906823511931230892010-10-14T13:09:30.105+01:002010-10-14T13:09:30.105+01:00Do try to "knit back backwards".

The motion is similar to unknitting a few stitches, (putting the tip of the left needle into the stitch on the right needle) so I found it easily learned, having spent a fair of time tinking errors.Phyllisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-31390662933516863072010-10-14T11:04:50.815+01:002010-10-14T11:04:50.815+01:00growing veggies - with limited space, my husband&#...growing veggies - with limited space, my husband's approach is to grow things that we both like but are difficult to get from the shops or we use often. so we tend to grow different varieties of chilies, chinese leaves and salad leaves. <br /><br />the miners... there was a lot of international focus so they had 3 contingency plans. it leaves one to wonder if the focus wasn't there, if 3 drills would had been going concurrently... anyway, it is a triumph of so many things. the lives of 33 miners are indeed more precious than the cost of the operation!alltangleduphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558957249397477876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-58811075475951127872010-10-14T08:56:10.234+01:002010-10-14T08:56:10.234+01:00Jean from Cornwall's blog entry is definitely ...Jean from Cornwall's blog entry is definitely worth reading. It was all bit close to home here too - brought back memories of waiting for the two men trapped in Tasmania - but they were there for a mere 17 days from memory. Having to go out one by one - and leave everyone else behind is what really got to me.catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.com
