Well I'm going to try and get a bit more sleep in before the sun comes up.

Cheers.

If "warm wet and windy" weather is sometimes described as "little baby weather" what might "cold wet and windy" weather be described as?

Well, whatever that descriptor is we are enjoying that just now, with the added bonus of it being dark....

Winning now that my yard has been fully tamed for a while.

I might get a little potting in tomorrow and maybe yet get started on the 1st huge wicking tub, but I'll be taking easy after the last 2 days.

Cheers.

Today continues on from yesterday, both as being the next episode in our journey through the cosmos and as having a better evolved weather pattern: cooler, wetter and windier.

I can guarantee that I won't be up at a ridiculous hour this time as I call it a night.

Message 2127279 - Posted: 21 Oct 2023, 1:12:51 UTC - in response to Message 2127261.  

Guess I need to go find a club and a nice redhead with thick straight hair.

Light colored skin is a Neanderthal gene that Modern Humans acquired during inter breeding with ice age Neanderthals, as is thick straight hair(Red and Blond, and Strawberry Blond) and the fat in the abdomen, though not Blue Eyes... Before Modern Humans had children with Neanderthals Modern Humans had brown skin and brown hair and either brown eyes or blue eyes. Of course not all Neanderthals had light colored skin, it varied, both Neanderthal and Human genes have been fully mapped out, Modern Humans share 30% of their genes with Neanderthals, though each person may only have 1.0%-2.0% or 1.0%-4.0%. Light colored skin has protection against rickets or vitamin D deficiency for those in Europe far from the Earth's equator. Light colored skin does not mean one is superior to someone with darker skin.

Neanderthal genes in modern humans are the result of interbreeding between our ancestors and Neanderthals after they moved out of Africa12. The percentage of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans is about 1 to 2 percent in people of European or Asian background, and zero or close to zero in people of African background1. Neanderthal genes are associated with various traits, such as skin


According to the Smithsonian Institution’s Human Origins Program, Neanderthals and modern humans share 1-4% of their DNA, depending on the region of the world your ancestors come from

Extinct for 16,500 yrs?
But they were on TV not that long ago. Are you suggesting the news lies? I thought only 45 said that.

Posting after another busy morning outside cooking in the heat before enjoying a few beers and a feed up at the pub.

I was going to try and get a spinal reset in, but at 26C (feels like 23C) that won't happen as yet.

Cheers.

It's warming up quickly here just as the wind starts picking up with the temp already at 19C (feels like 16C).

I just hope that the wind doesn't get too carried away as I don't want to be wrestling metres of plastic sheeting out in it.

Anyhow it's time for a 2nd Sunday coffee.

Cheers.
