  1. I hope by now you’ve taken more Benadryl and you’re feeling better. What a scary experience! Your kids did well recognizing what was happening and responding appropriately. I know they have good reason to be aware of allergies, but still, at the critical moment they kept their heads and spoke up. Good job.
  2. A couple of books I’ve enjoyed, both highly readable and shedding light on the history of geology and paleontology: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1939990009/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HaQupkV8FNmLYw4-o1-nhjOACO_WHI54ebrTubee0Kt1aOvkvC9No0qnG1HF4jvb.CHAnFNbveqerX5Eald4X4TkYwTHY-kO_ytx3t98S-1Q&qid=1710720672&sr=8-1 https://www.amazon.com/Dinosaur-Hunters-Scientific-Discovery-Prehistoric-ebook/dp/B00810SAWG/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=2LBZJ0E5JIX12&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.5aKT8pkElBj5azyHxFPtJ7SxrH1uziaYboU7dAKqRJW49nbt1u1ncVfhX-bNctu7JTmkIR0ry595uPwvO1a4W72Sr24oMKGXPOR5nZGSzVKZmvKH1RKs-QYqJSkEEa_zcSftWUb49PaWQ3n7-os-hJYUHxr0zWN_FuSaFrkmMKQmuQw0QppQBK4HqQCTp9zrbPq-ptHdBKkVvKhNv4veNA.21GVQmHTpotJ3FHEPFBgcTh4Q3rJlZcIWGr1fvufIaY&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+dinosaur+hunters&qid=1710720984&sprefix=the+dinosaur+h%2Caps%2C106&sr=8-2
  3. This, plus in case of neurodiversity, I’d add more time for maturation and mastery of skills.
  4. Entirely possible that the landscape was edited, but also possible that the photo was taken in a sheltered microclimate that genuinely has some greenery already. That can make a huge difference in when plants start growing. Actually… I just went and scrolled through my Mastodon timeline, where I follow a bunch of gardeners and farmers. Pretty quickly found a picture of a green field in Cumbria (a good bit north of London), and a reference to trees beginning to leaf out. The last (only) time I tried to quote Mastodon here didn’t work well, so I’m not doing that, but I think the grass and tree in Kate’s picture could be genuinely green.
  5. Yes! The Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes shows are great.
  6. This. The degree of control @Scarlettis describing (denying the young adult her essential papers) reaches the level of abuse. Transitions aren’t going to happen in the most harmonious ways in that scenario. I hope the young woman has a steady head, but alliance with a 22 year old man and a supportive community is far from the worst thing that could happen to her. Getting her degree and her vo tech program completed will be good steps.
  7. Poirot was a favorite here at that age. The shorter ones were less gory (and all are minimally so, we just had a very very limited tolerance for scary stuff). Dh and I enjoy Miss Marple, but Poirot was more popular with the kids.
  8. Sausage with chopped onions and apples to stuff squash, topped with buttered crumbs and some cheese Bangers /brats with mashed potatoes, with onion gravy Sausage rolls with puff pastry
  9. We went to one wedding where the favors were cookie cutters with a favorite recipe attached. It seems like a good idea, but twenty years later, we still haven’t used either… too many favorites of our own to make already. Maybe that just makes me an unmotivated baker.
  10. Sending lots of good thoughts.
  11. I can’t imagine how hard that is for you. Of course it’s terribly stressful; I’m so sorry. I hope their medical team can figure out something to help.
  12. That’s gorgeous. I spent a good while browsing on the willow suppliers’ website after coming across it in that article. I love being able to buy a handful of cuttings, since rooting them is ridiculously easy, and I’m pondering whether I have a suitable spot for some at our new house. After years of heavy clay and poor drainage, though, we’re moving to a sharply drained hillside, and I’m not yet sure where all the drains are, so willows will have to wait a while.
  13. A timely article on willows, below. I’d emphasize that the special pruning techniques and unusual varieties are interesting but far from essential. ETA Just make sure you don’t have underground water pipes close to the planting area. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/21/realestate/willows-garden-fence.html?unlocked_article_code=1.aU0.Yveb.KV3ZZ_OifWL1&smid=url-share (gifted)
  14. Thank you very much. This is quite helpful.
