Old Weather Forum

A sign of OW Addiction perhaps?

For sure it is! They do say that you can 'smell' in dreams...how's the river doing on the olfactory front (or is that the territory of nightmares?)?

Can't say I remember any particular smell. I think this picture triggered it.



It reminded me of a canoe trip six of us made down the Nahanni River in the Northwest Territories in 2002.

Hello everyone, it's good to be back, even if the Forum has been transformed in my absence. But I'm glad most of the familiar threads are still here ....

Good to have you back!!!

"Yeah, right," I thought to myself.

I hope your new owners are taking good care of you and the CO

Well, sort of, when they aren't eating, or sleeping or causing a ruckus, or hiding when strange people or dogs come for a visit to see them.

Great to have you back Helen!

Stunning river pictures Michael - breathtaking

Awwww- those kittens look chilled out

Welcome back, Helen! Really glad to see you.

Glad to see cats have returned to your house, Michael - and great river pictures too. The cats look as though at least they get on with each other.

They're 10 week old kittens, brother and sister, so they do get on.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-54118769 Sir David Attenborough makes stark warning about species extinction.

The one-hour film, Extinction: The Facts, will be broadcast on BBC One in the UK on Sunday 13 September at 20:00 BST.
"We are facing a crisis", he warns at the start, "and one that has consequences for us all." What follows is a shocking reckoning of the damage our species has wrought on the natural world.

I've got my handkerchief ready....

Handkerchief soaked.

I keep seeing trailers for this program and can't decide if I can cope with watching it. Mind you a good cry is supposed to be cathartic.

That program sounds like a bad cry. I'm not so sure that is cathartic

It was a very good programme, but very hard work. Soul wrenching to be honest. Seeing the mother and daughter last two northern white rhinos was rough, however the extinction of all the unromantic but necessary critters in the insect world was terrifying.

If you want to pass the time then these videos may or may not be good for you.

I've sent these guys running with your late birthday cake. Sorry!

Thank you, Caro!
