Friends have a rescue dog, which had been very poorly cared for and was v v nervous. I thought howling was an important part of helping him settle into his new home. When I visit I howl and he comes to me immediately, sits on me and we howl together. He also howls along to opera

I wonder what the solution might be? I remember when the floods in York used to have a much greater impact, but, apart from when the Foss barrier failed, things are so much better now. There must be a solution

I hadn’t realised the hosepipe ban was still in place. I drove past Booth Wood reservoir on Monday and was shocked by the low levels

Ouch! Can you keep off it for a few days? I still feel the effects of a sprained ankle 2 years on. I hope you recover speedily

We visited Montacute earlier in the year - loved it. Did a lovely short walk, which I think was called the ladies walk?

Good Morning Hilary and fellow ORCs. I had a disturbed night so not feeling refreshed. Some tasks planned for today that I’m not looking forward to and thoughts about these were rattling round my head. Yesterday I began watching S.4 of “A House Through Time”. Delightful! What a fab programme.

Thanks for explanation Jude. I don’t think any of our cats experienced this. The behaviour you describe is pretty distinctive

If you have a piano, you need to check that too. I know it seems unlikely but OH tells me it can be an issue
