On TV

On TV last night was a fascinating programme 'Miniature Britain'  It was to show off the latest in Micro photography, it was real down to grass level and below, Tiny little creatures getting on with the business of living their own lives. It took you right inside the depths of flowers
 I was enthralled by the bugs that inhabit our beds, and no, I don't mean the ones that you normally hear about, these are the totally unseen little creatures that feast on the dead skin cells that we a shed during our time in bed, The narrator had his lunch consisting of some cheese and he took pictures of the cheese mites that infest the rind, he said they helped add to the flavour, and proceeded to munch into it, I do admit to feeling a bit uncomfortable at that, Pass the quick bowl
I know that the garden needs worms to keep the soil fertile, but to be told that good soil is simply worm poo and be shown close ups of it being manufactured was cringingly interesting.
He suffered being stung by ants and bees to show us the close-ups of their jaws and actions of stings.
Television at it's best, Lord above school was never this interesting.
The weather here is cold, cold, very very cold. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Thank you for visiting and please come back, Arlene, Tango and Ruby

  4. Hi girls, I do agree it was a bit cringie, especially the bugs that were associated with we humans.
    It's got milder here, but raining hard. I too loved Attenborough's 60 years Sheila, in fact he is a genius at all thay stuff. Take care and hugs to all.

  9. Oh I love shows like that. Sound real facinating. Worm casting are actually good for many uses. We use them to dust our chicken for a natural way to keep mites away. Oh but I didn't know there were critters lurking still in my food. Wishing you a blessed New Year. I will be heading south in a few weeks and won't have internet for 3 months. Oh I have so much to try and get done here on the internet and closing house and packing. Take care Hugs Carrie
