Somebody has stolen the sun

I wanted to watch it, but ‘I’m A Celebrity...’ was on at the same time, and SWMBO held sway. 

"anybody know where the sun hasgone?"

Well, after days of wet, grey, dreary weather, it's made a welcome, if temporary return to Cornwall today. Perranporth beach this morning! 

I've just watched the Liz Bonin programme on catch up. Food for thought, if you'll pardon the pun. The last bit made a good point about our disconnect on the reality of what is entailed in eating meat. We'd probably all be a bit healthier if we ate less meat. Some of those meat-chomping Texans didn't look the picture of health.

agreed, i worked in Houston for a while and i thought the guys were big then, but they look to have grown.

i thought the bit were the vet guy broke the chickens neck was in very poor taste, what they didnt tell you was that, yes it works ok if you get it right, but you need a strong pair of hands and need to know the technique.

For a while now I’ve tried to cut down on eating meat, mainly for health reasons. It’s been known for a while now that meat production increases the level of greenhouse gas, so it seems sensible to me to lower/cut out eating meat. Trouble is, it tastes so good! 

My dad used to keep chickens. I remember him having to get rid of his cock bird, following complaints from the neighbours (crowing). It wasn’t a pretty sight...

We also watched the Liz Bonin programme and found it very informative. 

I liked the farmer in the states that has covered his slurry pit and using the power it generates to run the farm and sells the rest. This is the type of thing we need to do.

Hated seeing the vet kill the chicken, yet I grew up with a chicken run at the bottom of the garden and a grandad that could dispatch one swiftly.

We try to have at least one day a week without meat, normally 2 or 3 days. We eat fish a fair bit but even that isn't without problems.

To stay on thread, SUN what sun not sure there is one anymore 

Watched the sun rise in East Norfolk this morning.  

I watched it and did anyone notice the amount food on that Texan's plate.

If anyone is missing the Sun today I have a Daily Telegraph going spare.

Yes, we are similar, my OH has been in remission from Crohns for many years and meat with the exception of chicken is not good.

when we lived in Aberdeenshire there were a couple of local farms that generated power from slurry but only sufficient to run the farm.

clear skies this morning so fingers crossed we may see some sun dog outside in his wellies

No sun here in Cheshire either, and it's only ten o'clock
