A traffic fence in Chian almost a mile long fell like dominoes a few days ago:

 

Erm.. They're all in the English dictionary..?

You are right, they are all in the English dictionary

 

But there is another connection which would rule out over 99% of the other words in the dictionary. (and it's not that they are nouns,). The connection is quite surprising.

If you give up on my little puzzle, you can find the answer on this link to a BBC article. Just scroll down a little until you see a list of 50 words

I like the domino fence video.

 

Hi all x

Nice to see you Joyron 
Another humid day here, very tiring. 

This little chap looks like a Cedric, dont you think ?  

    

      

Skylark, he is definitely a Cedric.

Hehe what a darling wig Bramble went missing tonight for a full 10 mins! My heart stopped she must have chased a little creature and got lost, she eventually emerged far behind me on the other side of the path and looking rather pleased to see me! I've never been so relieved in all my life!!!! Hope everyone is having/had a nice evening El, I don't want to give up but right now I cannot think of how those words are connected!

Aww Summer, it gives you such a fright when they do the Houdini act. Glad you got her back safely.

I have had Harvey for four days this week and if he even disappears behind the greenhouse for a few seconds, I get in a panic.

 

I think I know the answer to El's word puzzle but I won't say just yet.

I was trying to stay calm yogi, I didn't want her to hear fear in my calling. I was so worried though, I didn't want a big nasty dog to appear. Thankfully no one else was around and all turned out well. Brambloudini is her newest nickname now! Where have Harvey's parents been?

@ Brambloudini.

My son and DiL were both working. On Monday and Tuesday, Harv stayed on an overnighter. He was at home yesterday then back this morning and will go home tomorrow night. Basically, he stays with me whenever their shifts mean he would be alone for any length of time. Keira is always happy to see him.

Thank goodness for doggy sitters yogi those lucky dogs, I'm sure are very happy in your company too! MIL insists on having bramble 2 days a week, she adores her. Well, they adore each other!

Elizabeth Bennett & Lady Katherine de Burgh are going at it

I'm turning in now yogi, hope you sleep well, goodnight

Are you watching Pride and Prejudice?

Goodnight Summer, I'm turning in too,

See you tomorrow.

Night owl hugs.

Good morning everyone

 

After a wet night it's sunny at present here, but there's the potential for hefty showers over the next couple of days.

 

Here's my list of words again:

avatar

bangle

cot

loot

pyjamas

shampoo

veranda

yoga

I'll add a couple more which may make it a bit easier, or at least may confirm Yogi's thought.

bungalow

thug

The Cedric I know could do with one of those wigs

 

Good morning everyone, it was such a hectic day yesterday, I hope today is calmer.  Thank goodness Bramble was safe, she is certainly having adventures.

 

I think I know the answer to your quiz too EL but I won't say but I will add one more word which I think is also relevant cheetah.

Squiggle, you are right in what you think the answer is . I won't give the answer is in case the others are wanting to have a go.

 

Morning cloudy & cool here, I enjoyed the 3 minutes of sun that was out early this morning. That's baffled me more about the words lol ok, just tell me the answer, I think my brain isn't up to that at present Yogi, yes I was watching pride & prejudice, i have it on my iPad

So far today the weather has been quite pleasant here. Looks as if the worst weather here will be between 4 and 7 tomorrow morning - there's an amber weather warning out for that covering quite a wide area, but I think Gloucester although in the amber area may avoid the really torrential rain - Worcester about 40 miles away looks as if it will get soaked.

 

The answer to my puzzle follows on the next line.

All the words in that list originally came from India.

I've hidden the line in case you are still trying to work it out but just use your pointer over the line & press the button to hightlight the line.

 

Hello everyone. Been out and about with hubby today, and went to get my hair cut.

I was on the right lines re the word puzzle, El.

Weather has been a bit cloudy today, with ocassional sunny spells. At least it hasn't been raining.

Spoon-billed sandpipers are amongst the rarest birds in the world. There's only about 100 breeding pairs in the wild. To try to stop them becoming extinct efforts are being made to stop this happening. The Wildlife and Wetlands Trust centre is involved in the efforts. The WWT is at Slimbridge which is about 16 miles south of where I live.

 

There are 12 full grown sandpipers at Slimbridge. Recently the WWT arranged for 20 eggs to be brought here from Arctic Russia. By yesterday 14 of them had hatched, and another 4 are expected to hatch in the next few days. This is only the second time in the world that chicks have hatched outside the wilds of the Russian tundra, and is a first in the UK.

 

It takes a couple of years for the chicks to grow and it is hoped that having some 30 birds at Slimbridge will encourage a greater chance of breeding. The intention would then be to sent the eggs back to the tundra to hatch and then when ready to release the birds into the wild.

 

This is what a spoonbill sandpiper looks like:

Oh, I suppose you might want to see these chicks

 

Alright, here's a clip of 2 of them. I've got a suspicion you might like this:

 

 

Well done Yogi

Cute chicks, must be like taking your first steps on a pair of stilts.

Great video of the chicks, El. Not keen on their diet of live ants though.

Luckily for you then you're not a sandpiper (or on Get me out of here etc)

Hi all x

 El
Hope you all well this evening. and Miss Bramble is behaving 
Been munching away at strawberries, lovely. I can pretend its summertime !
Bit chilly here, thank goodness, couldnt take any more of that humidity.





 

Ooh chicks! I'm coming back on my iPad..!

Yogi did you keep your new style or chop it off?

Hi Summer, meant to ask the same thing ! 
How are you? 

I was wondering too about the hairstyle but I didn't like to ask in case you had decided that you had had enough and couldn't stand it anymore.  I hope the new style is fully grown and beautiful now.

Hi ladies, I didn't get the chop and new style is more or less in place now.

 

Anyone watching Corrie? Kirsty really needs to see someone about that temper of hers.

Lucky indeed.

Thats good Yogi x    Kirsty needs locking up !

Poor Tyrone. Why couldn't he have found a nice girl?

I know, poor Tyrone  Fizz would be perfect for him....

I agree, they'd be a great match.
