Food and other products should have to be clearly labelled as NOT organic, rather than the other way round.

It's RIDICULOUS that in order for something to legitimately be organic in a supermarket, it has to be shrink wrapped in plastic??? So it doesn't come into contact with nasty non-organic foods.
Answer - obvious I suppose. Buy from farm shops or boxes, rather than supermarkets... silly of me. Don't count that one

I've just been chattin in MSN with a couple of friends. We discussed passing new laws, if we had the power.

Here are some I would go for.
There will, no doubt, be others.
I have my "Ranting Old Git" hat on

1 - A worldwide ban on new car production for a year

2 - All mobile phones must be made to work with a universal charger, available from (somewhere like) Woollies. Having a new charger whenever yoou upgrade to a new phone is a ridiculous waste of resources.

3 - Keypads tones must default to OFF. If you want to bleep when you text, you should have to work out how to turn them on.

Two, at Lower Test this afternoon. The speciality bird of this reserve that I had totally forgotten about.
Excellent choice for a walk as I haven't visited the place for over five years and Trx has never been before. Tis a place of great beauty, essentially a reedbed and saltmarsh landscape between Southampton and Totton. Prone to ridiculous flooding at certain times of the year that makes it virtually inaccessible.
Today was dry and warm though, and the kids all loved it, especially the boardwalk that pretty much crosses the lower part of the reserve between Test Lane at Nursling and Testwood Lane in Totton.
It was especially fun to wander about some distance from them at times and be aware of the relationships developing between them. Stan walked along with LC half the time, and then with Ali when she was too slow. Those two especially seem most comfortable in this 'natural' environment and spent ages picking up stones and looking at a dead frog he found at one point. Flo, like her Mum, is most excited by "swishy water" and so liked the bridges and weirs. For me its the whole atmosphere of space and big sky.
Felt wonderful to be birding of sorts again, as it always does. We had a close Buzzard overhead that Stan managed to see thru the bins, a wicked heron wading around right by the path and then of course the Water Pipits. Not much of a view since we flushed them from quite a distance, but the call is distinctive and I recognised it straight away. Chiffchaffs, Blackcaps by the score. No cuckoo tho, which I had half expected. Things are generally late this year but there are some in the country already of course.
And no hirundos yet either which is unusual I think? We normal have Sand Martins and some House Martins over the river here by the end of March and I've had nothing yet. Mind you, Housies have been declining rapidly in this area in the ten years since we moved in.
I doubt there is any connection.

Church service this morning was unfortunately one of the worst. Again. Palm Sunday too, and I don't think a very good idea to leave it to the laeity. Especially not a husband and wife couple with young children, obviously stressed by the preparation. No one seemed to know what came next and there were long periods of embarassed silence. the 'talk' didn't hit any spot in particular but drifted aroound without conviction. Apart from the vicar here, who I could listen to all day, no-one really has any 'authority' and it doesn't feel like 'church' at all some times.
As Trx and I were chatting last night, in preparation for her starting in a new cell next week, I thin cell is a better vehicle for moving along the spiritual highway than actually going ot church.
Today's experience proved that.

Unfortunately, we did have the crappy night we were expecting yesterday. LC woke up three or four times. Once, about 2 a.m. I went in to her, in pitch darkness and found her wandering in her room, confused and lost. Poor thing. We didn't actaully see each other until I turned in the darkness and kicked her over!!!
Luckily, she was half asleep anyway and didn't shout much, so I was able to scoop her up and put her back in bed without disturbing Flo.
But then this morning she came in to our room and said "I woke up this morning and found LC on my head!"
Little one had obviously got out of bed later on and wandered about again, climbed into her sister's bed and gone back off to sleep witout either of them really waking up.
Fun and games.
They are all flat out now tho - I think I wore them all out.
