Impressive, young soot!

I was afraid you might ask what kind of beans, Rog. I would only have been able to say "dried - probably white".

Love his art...

Spot on, ladies!

It was Mrs Worrier's forte, Lady K. She was just a gnat's whisker away from making the GB's team selection trials for the '84 Olympics

3. Their behaviour on the dais during and after the playing of the anthem having received their medals.
The third person on the dais with them was an Australian

Wow! That's so neat! I only hit the target sometimes but really enjoyed it anyway.

Three more bite the dust!

6. The Jacobson's organ is in the nasal area, just above the roof of the mouth. I know it helps a snake smell. It "tastes" the air by flicking its tongue to pull scent molecules back to the organ. I think lizards also have the organ, but I'm not sure about other animals.

Edit: Quite a few animals have the Jacobson's organ, including cattle, horses, pigs, dogs, cats and some primates. In humans they are vistigial.

Thanks, Lady K!

Very impressive about your wife's skill, Rog!

I agree, Marian! Mrs. Worrier is impressive!

Wow Rog, I didn't know Mrs Worrier was an archer ... I'm glad I didn't pull any pranks when visiting.
