Footie tonight as well

I ended up having the TdF on telly and tennis on laptop. F1 was only practice which I recorded and watched back the best bits.
Glad you're having fun Jayne
Enjoy your night griff
PS: Make sure you wear your nice knickers -
I have a very important dilemma, whether to watch Wimbledon, Formula 1 practice or Tour de France? I can have one on my laptop and one on telly but I can't have both. I may end up flicking.

suzeanna that was my thought as well.
I have Archie at the vets this afternoon as he's been biting at himself and scratching so I think it's the dreaded grass mites at work. I put a Frontline on him 3 weeks ago but have been finding fully bloated ticks all over the house - still alive, all bar one. I've heard people say that they no longer find Frontline effective. Has anyone got experience of using alternatives that actually work?
I read a while ago that Frontline isn't effective any more. Advantage was recommended, which I ended up buying from Australia because it was cheaper.

Good news snow
suzeanna - I've watched the first episode and I didn't find it scary (and I'm a real wuss when it comes to scary films)

Poor thing. Have you seen this site? http://www.pigeonrescue.co.uk/canker.htm
I did find that site thanks
I've given him some honey and water this morning along with a cuddle 
Jayne that site is certainly an eye opener

Fingers crossed for Rosie
I've been googling and it looks like the poor thing has canker, which is what the blockage is rather than food. I've taken quite a bit of it out so am going to leave him overnight and see what he's like in the morning.

Evening.
That's good to hear griff
I currently have a very poorly baby collared dove in a cat carrier. I noticed him/her trying to eat the seed off the lawn outside, but could see his beak was constantly open. Anyway, it started peeing down and whilst the other birds flew off, he just stayed there, so I got him and brought him inside. He had lots of stuff stuck in his mouth/throat which had forced his beak open, so I got the tweezers out and pulled quite a bit out, then syringed some water down his throat to try and get him to swallow any bits. However, I can't see too far down his throat and I don't know how long it's been stuck there so it could be infected. I can't be sure how much is still stuck in there either. I've covered the carrier with a towel so he can have some peace and quiet and will have a look to see how he is later, bless him.

A tip for you jazz - use compost instead of litter. Lighter to carry, cats prefer it (in my experience), easier to dispose of and much cheaper. You can pick the poo out and put it in the compost bin (if you have one) or else in the dustbin.

I'm in sporting heaven today - Euros, Tour de France, Wimbledon and Formula 1.
And if I get bored, there's also cricket on.
TIme for a beer. Iach y da

Alex didn't you have any garden jobs that could be done in the rain?
If it were light rain I might have done bits, but most of the time it's been quite heavy
I'm still on a high from the Wales result last night, what a team, what fans and what a game!

On this day last year it was 37 degrees. Today max 20. Been raining here. Dry now but probably not for long. A whole week off work to sort the garden out and it's wasted

Got an eye test today. Am off this week so was hoping the weather was going to be nice but persistent rain forecast for later.

Has anybody else read about the Brock Turner rape case? It's absolutely infuriating the sentence he was given. He will spend a few months in prison (if that) before being sent home on probation. You can read his victim's statement on this link. It's very very powerful stuff (be prepared to be in tears). Just as outrageous is his father's comment: "It's a steep price to pay for twenty minutes of action". Guess the class system is alive and well in America

As for Sturgeon, she won't call another referendum unless she is certain she will win. She can't afford to lose another referendum. I personally think Scotland is more powerful as part of an independent Great Britain than it is on its own as part of the EU.
Younger people are saying that older people have robbed them of their future. With age comes wisdom. We haven't stupidly gambled with their future - it's because we want a better future for the generations who follow. I wonder whether a lot of them voted remain because they have never known anything else and are scared of change. Either way, everybody needs to pull together now to shape a new future. I personally feel as if a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
What gets my goat is those like Alistair Campbell who said that we should never have had a referendum. How arrogant to believe that the opinion of the ordinary man doesn't matter, only what the politicians want. I was gobsmacked yesterday when he said that people who voted leave were from "little northern towns" and probably had never voted. Patronising asswipe.
suzeanna - step away from Google, it's not your friend

Just because the Scottish people voted to remain in the EU, doesn't mean they will necessarily change their minds on whether they want to be part of GB or not.
I for one am delighted with the result. Yes it's scary and there will be some short term pain for long term gain. I am glad for future generations that they will be able to live in an independent Britain. I'm proud of the British people for taking a stand despite all the scaremongering.

Have been waking up at various points in the night to watch the referendum results. I never for a moment believed we'd vote to leave but am

Not really read back so please take a
if you need one.
I was watching the attempted military coup in Turkey last night. In one way I admire them because they want to bring back the ideologies of Attaturk and secularism. If you Google what Attaturk did he was a remarkable man. In another way Erdogan, however disliked he is, was elected by democracy and they've had enough coups in Turkey in recent history.
