Did your Mum ever tell you that fish was good for you?  Wolves know that too.  Apparently a pack or two of wolves studied in British Columbia left off chasing deer & went fishing for salmon during the salmon run, the fish being a much easier to catch.  Having seen film of how bears just sit there in streams & rivers with their mouths

Oh I'm pretty into relaxation too, but find I need more of a work-out than I can get from knitting even an Aran sweater!

Hehe...

Well how about something really big, like a huuuuge blanket? Would that count as workout?

[bronchitikat]

Not unless it was knit on very large & very heavy needles, unfortunately!

Re: Salmon

I dunno, look at all the variety of garden wildlife you get to contend with, & then the stuff which comes along when you go sea fishing. Though we have seals, & there was a programme on the other day about Orcas around the UK, which I didn't see.

In Edinburgh it'd have been Scottish salmon, from the Atlantic.

David has a banana tree! Apparently it only gives off litte bananas, but bananas none the less! Oh, and did you know that you can freeze cheese? Actually, I always put cheese in the freezer because it becomes all crumbly and theres no need to shred it if your just using it to melt on top of things.
Tee hee...I sloth to forget ;)

Yup, knew about hte freezing cheese thing. The Chaplaincy at Bath University used to run a weekly bread & cheese lunch - proceeds to Oxfam. H & I would slice cheese (I still have the scars to prove it) & bread. We reckoned the Chaplain would freeze the cheese occasionally as when there was 'leftovers' to start the following week it would just crumble under the knife. Argh!

But otherwise I thought part of the whole point of cheese was that it was a way of preserving milk protein, & so didn't need further preservation, beyond being kept cool & dry.

& yup, I suppose banana trees might well grow in Florida. After all, if they can grow & fruit in the murk in Powys! Which part of FL does he live in (apart from 'suburban')? I want to know whether I should worry when I hear Hurricane Ike is headed for the Florida Keys.
