Delphi... has spotted something of great interest. Multiple choice question time folks. This is a toughie... is it (a) A Squirrel, (b) A Squirrel or (c) that DAMN Squirrel. 3 Acorns if you guess correctly.

Delphi (Miniauture Schnauzer) is branching out in the provision of therapy related services. She has no human related qualifications BUT her left nostril is capable of 139 k/newtons of thrust at ~10% (!!!) and she loves a rub behind the ears. She is so ready to help you find a path (or blast it!)

It's International Peas, Pasta and Cream day and we are all in. Cook any old pasta, chuck in some frozen peas toward end. Meanwhile cook some onions, add a bit of cream and grated cheese. Mix with drained pasta/peas (plus a bit of pasta water) and serve with a bit more grated cheese and seasoning!
