I couldn't be bothered with all the faffing about every time you needed to go to the loo.

Very practical Yogi 

 When you get to my age, these things become very important.

Good morning everyone, thank you for the cake Yogi, it was delicious   Summer that rhubarb crumble looks lush, it made my mouth water.  I am reading Catherine Alliott at the moment Summer, I am hoarding my Milly Johnson's. I hope your book is good, I enjoyed the other one about sweet shops, is it the same author?  I found loads of new authors with that short story book though so lots of exploring to do.

 

I'm with you on the onesies Yogi I am sure they are comfortable but no way could I be faffing about every time I went to spend a penny.  As I take a water tablet it would be asking for trouble

Good morning everyone. The sun is shining, although not particularly warm.

Squiggle, you and I are on the same page re the onesies.

I watched Gardeners' World on Friday night and Monty Don (my gardening guru, who has a fabulous golden retriever called Nigel) says it is time for tomato plants to go into a grow bag. A trip to the garden centre today or tomorrow is on the cards.

At church today, the curate had a bit of a quiz for us with yes or no answers. Some of the answers she gave were odd so I thought I would look into a couple of them.

 

She asked if the average person swallowed 4 spiders a night whilst sleeping. Her answer was that was incorrect and that the average person swallowed 8, Before you panic, her answer was totally wrong. There is an urban myth that people swallow 8 during the course of a year, not a day. And in any case, that's an urban myth.

 

She asked us if the human heart stops for a second every time you sneeze. Her answer was that it does. That's another urban myth with no truth whatsoever. Although it might feel as if it does that's not the case. A Google search shows:

No. Your heart keeps right on beating, even through the worst sneezing fit you can imagine.

Coughing, sneezing, bearing down, and other activities can change the pressure inside the chest and the blood flow back to the heart from the veins. It’s theoretically possible that sneezing could change blood flow enough to cause the heart to delay a beat for a fraction of a second. These kinds of variations in heart rate are normal and occur in all healthy people.

 

She had got her questions off the internet, and it just goes to show that sometimes you need to question what you find on the net.
