Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Would really like to see those. What an experience. I just love sea creatures - mammals or fish. I think my favourite animal is an orca. So intelligent and have such sophisticated social structures

I went on a whale watching trip in California a few years ago. I actually cried when we saw a humpback whale! It was just magnificent.

My only problem with Orca's is that they eat seals. Have you ever seen the youtube video of the seal pup being chased by Orcas that finds refuge on the back of a motor boat. Possibly one of the most uplifting videos I've ever seen. I'd post it if I knew how. Cue a 2 page instruction post from Sass lol

Yes I've watched it. They are relentless. Have you seen the footage where they tag team to chase down a grey whale and her calf. Thye follow it for miles until the poor calf is exhausted and then they drown it. Utterly brutal but the way they work together is incredible.

No I haven't. I only watch videos with happy endings. ;)

Edit. That didn't quite come out the way I intended :blush:

Morning all, lovely day again. Woke at 5.00 to the blackbird singing and a pink moon. I would loved to have been an archaeologist. My brothers garden is near the parish church and there is an old footpath running close by. I’ve never given up hope of turning up lost treasure when digging there, so far only a couple of WW1 army buttons, fragments of old clay pipes etc but still interesting. An archaeological dig about a quarter of a mile away a few years ago revealed the remains of a Roman Villa the public open days they had were fascinating. Mr G. would love to have been a carpenter/joiner @blue1948 but in those days you did what your parents told you so his ambitions were thwarted, he still loves carpentry though and we have a garage full of odd bits of timber for his “projects”. Best of luck to your little lad @Armaghtoffee, sure he’ll do you proud. Have rattled on bit this morning, have a great day all. I’m off to the shop.

Keep rattling on Gwladys. I love reading your posts. You have such an endearing sense of humour if you don't mind me saying.

Good morning friends. Hope you are all OK. I've loved some of your "dream job" scenarios. Certainly when I went to school there were very narrow margins as to what was expected. Especially for girls. I always loved science - still do so was forced into doing science A Levels because late 70s they were desperately trying to get girls into science. Unfortunately I am utterly crap at Maths and you need maths to do science ( especially physics) so it didn't end well!

Hope everybody is enjoying the long weekend. @jazzy you've been quiet just lately. Hope everything is OK with you. I have no plans today. Doing a nice roast dinner tomorrow then going to Liverpool Monday - Wednesday next week. I'm looking forward to it. My brother is away in Spain so I might try and catch up with some old friends on Tuesday - Dad goes to bed ridiculously early.

Good luck to your son @Armaghtoffee . Fingers crossed for him. The shark diving will have to be put on hold @Sassy Colombian . I didn't win but it's already on again for next week!

Was thinking exactly the same Anj.

He's been on the forum recently, just not in here. maybe the thought of catching up on all the posts is putting him off. I mean, I was only away for a few hours and have spent the last 90 minutes catching up. lol

Did you watch the thing with David Attenborough last night - The Final Day? It was brilliant, loads of proper science. archaeology and some amazing special effects. It was about the last days of the dinosaurs. Definitely worth a watch on catch up. There's loads of Roman stuff near where we live - being not a million miles away from either York or Hadrian's Wall. Where we used to live, there was an excavated Roman fort (Binchester) within walking distancce. It is supposed to have the most well preserved example of a Roman bath house that has been discovered.

Will look it up on iPlayer, sounds fascinating.

I have also been thinking about @jazzy and wondering why he has been so quiet in recent days. We miss you, darling!

Also starting to be concern about @Terrarian hoping he is also doing well. I also have been missing @Bluetintedspecs and his good sense of humour. And also mi amigo @fandjango and his lovely paintings. And also @blue to the bone and his cold ocean dip stories.
