Or anything other than politics/potential party leaders/how we're all going to hell in a handcart/everything is going to be so much better etc.

I like kittens, Regina blitz is a really good kitchen roll, might seem expensive at first glance but is actually good value, my neighbours have a kayak, but their eldest son is rather plump and has trouble fitting in the damn thing, perhaps he should eat only kiwi fruit for a week.

Sick, sick sick of politics , listen to Radio 4, read Daily Telegraph, would like more non political threads on GN!

On the thread of K ,,, For kayaking,, my more supple yoga ing friend goes kayaking and has asked me to go with her to try it, I would love to but,, it's my knees and my hips that would prevent me from getting in/getting out , ! I am afraid I would get stuck in the kayak , getting out of the bath is tricky enough but at least there's no one to see me struggling ungainly , Should I just go for it and hope for a few helping hands or is it a bit risky,

Have you ever tried shopping for food which has the same letter?

Chips, cheese, chocolate, crisps, chipolatas, cherries, coke, cake, coffee, champagne, croissants, chicken, cream etc. Quite fun and makes shopping a bit more exciting for the children. smile

Lovely thread, I like pointless wanderings.
Regina Blitz - brilliant stuff but I flinch a little at the name because the word Regina sounds just a little too near v....a. Have to laugh, their toilet roll Regina Softis is the best, too, though I've never seen it for sale anywhere other than Waitrose.
When I get het up at day-to-day news I go and sit on the beach and listen to the sea for a bit - never fails to work. Best when it's misty and I can hear distant fog-horns, just love that sound! Anyone else have favourite calming sounds?

I have kuddled a koala, they are quite heavy. Thank goodness it was nearly asleep, must have been full of eucalypt leaves.

Here is a koala having a drink from a cyclist's bottle

A friend had a Kinkajou (honey bear)
His favourite treats were Kiwi and a Refresher sweetgrin
Have stroked koala bear with back of hand as instructed, he was fast a kip.
Loved the little kangaroos. Sroked and fed them. Have to put the food right under their nose as eye sight is very poor. Peer at you like Mr Magoo.

Kan't think of anything to add, just poking my nose in, enjoying the fun, which as you have all said is so kalming.

DS's name begins with K, so does youngest DGD.
My Dad made a kayak when I was in my teens but we always called it a Kanoe! Wish I could remember what happened to it.

Thank you phoenix this thread has made me smile.

Came back from a walk this morning to find a note from the postie to say that he had tried to deliver a parcel and that we would have to collect it from the main post office. Two hours later - a knock on the door and it was the postie on his return journey - just thought he would see if we were in. Love our postie.

DH and I are feeding a stray kat at present, unfortunately we are also feeding the magpies and starlings as well.

Karate. It's the only sport/exercise I haven't got bored with in 20 years.

Jaycee5 Thu 30-Jun-16 11:36:21

Elephants do it for me. You tube clips of baby elephants throwing themselves at people for a cuddle or falling over.
Google Mfuwe Lodge if you haven't seen it.
