    Was it your birthday yesterday Eddy? Or was I hallucinating? Possibly. If so/if not, hope it was a goodie. I expect it's warmer in Thailand than it is in England right now.

      AlanP Spangles is definitely right and Minxie might well be right about the oxygen. The best technique, I read somewhere, is to put out fresh water, let it freeze, then break the ice and take it off the top.. I haven't tried it, but would be interested in any properly scientific comparative observations.

      Caducean Whisks They've got an extra layer of straw :) And boiling water to drink (which re-freezes in no time). Brrr!

      Spangles I remember hearing on a science programme that boiling water freezes more quickly than lukewarm water. Why? I haven't a clue

      MinxieAD I think it may be because there's less oxygen in boiling water. I'm sure I was told that boiling water doesn't scar so badly then off boiled because of that too? I expect one of the men will know!

      Caducean Whisks You may be right about that, girls! Impurities will stop it freezing at 0 degrees; and, incidentally, stop it boiling at 100 degrees - that's why we cook with salt - to boil at a higher temperature and so cook more quickly. Interesting.

    I'm a bit jolly old excited too, old bean! Tell me this: Why does an oven need cleaning - ever? Anything heated to 400 degrees C is sterile in anyone's book.

    Caducean Whisks on the coldest day of the year, I let out chickens to run in garden. All head straight indoors to warm dining room, leaving me freezing outside. Something wrong there?

      Spangles Massive amounts of money. Beyond your wildest dreams. You must also ignore the man in the raincoat ferreting through your recycling paper bin, looking for evidence, unless you'd like to take him a cup of tea and a biscuit. Apparently he's very partial to milk chocolate digestives

    Does it really have that sick parrot line? Or are you having us on? I'm amazed that there were parrots in England (this is set in England?) in 1681. Having just googled it, I see there was such a person, who indeed travelled to Venezuela in 1663, ...

    I spent most of my buffday fully clothed and therefore warm, my dearest Whisks. Thanking you for the suggestion/wishes, though.

    Hmm... I think 'totally doolally' it must be then, Whisks. You got the anniversary right but, unless you've slipped off to another time zone, you still had a hour of today to go when you sent your message ;-)

    sorry for your recent trama. I can empahize more thanyou will ever know.
    I have shown some animals more compassion than I have some humans.

    these are the things which stain or clense our soul.

    These events ultimately define us as they are impossible to predict.

    Thanks for the insider knowledge, Alan. I had already decided that the first and second entries would have to be have been incredibly special to have beaten our Whisks, so it's good to hear how things were.
