Did you know?

Eglantine21: Not only your pee! Many people have looked back after they been to the toilet and seen that it is red and have got worried it might be some sort of cancer, but mostly it isn't. Maybe the best thing is to avoid beetroot. You don't have to have it, even though it is a salad vegetable as well, you can just have the green. it might hell clear things up xxxxxx

I heard the same thing about the knee caps. I think igt was on Q.I which is a v useful prog. Apparently, it is something to do with until then it is all cartilage and it isn't till after then that they develop bone, so I suppose it is v pliable xxxxxx

They are the same shape deffo. Maybe they are from the same family? I wouldn't mind either one tho myself xxxxx

Are you sure you are not mixing it up with Easter? that was v close to St Georges Day this year, but I have never known St Georges day to be a moveable feast. Not unless they changed the rules at least xxxxxx

Did you know that a pheasant can only fly for about 28 wing beats because otherwise it’s heart will not cope ?

Bathsheba,
Thank you I had a lovely day, hope that you had a good day as well

angelic well it has not moved in all the 65 years it has been my birthday! It has Ilovecheese - it was moved in 2011 and 2014:

"Since Easter often falls close to Saint George's Day, the church celebration of the feast may be moved from 23 April: For 2011, 2014 and 2019 the Lutheran, Anglican and Catholic calendars celebrated Saint George's Day on the first available weekday after the Octave of Easter (see Easter Week) (2 May 2011, 28 April 2014 and 29 or 30 April, respectively) Wikipedia

Happy birthday for Tuesday, hope you enjoyed your day

Just checked my foil box. Who knew!!!!!

I think it will have Auntieflo

As I am on holiday at the moment, I will have to wait until we get home, to discover whether my tin foil box has flaps or not!

It doesn't make just your pee pink - or red!

Pink wee is fine, could be a worse colour?

Beetroot makes your pee pink.

I’m so fond of it too.....

Gosh Grannyknot, are bodies are indeed incredible in so many ways

angelic here you go:

Scientists have discovered a cleansing river inside the brain, a fluid stream that might be enlisted to flush away the buildup of proteins associated with Alzheimer's, Huntington's and other neurodegenerative disorders.

Our bodies are fascinating.

DD says a baby dosen't develop knee caps until they are 2 yrs.

Do let us know what you find out grannyknot!!

I listened to a podcast on sleep last week, top neurologists presenting, and I learnt that there are channels in the brain that drain toxins from the organ whilst you sleep .

Who knew?

I must find out more.

phoenix, asparagus also makes your pee green (pea green?). I only discovered that from DS and when I told my sister, she didn't believe me! She does now.

I didn’ Know that Avocado and Orchid are the same thing, that is interesting.

I have found that opening a banana from the non-stalk end is easier. Just watch a monkey!

Non stick foil, Bradfordlass72 ?

Wow, another thing I don’t know about that would be 100% useful....

The flaps on foil boxes?! Well I never knew that. Am off to the kitchen right now. Thanks!

St George never visited England

Did you know that, 'orchid' and 'avocado' mean the same thing?
Best not to write the definition or I'll have GN on my tail.

MY dil tells me Oxo can be opened as a cushion shape but I've never had any problems dealing with an Oxo cube and I'm astonished people do.

Just been to look at my foil boxes - no flaps of any kind, not even on the non-stick foil (and isn't that invention a godsend?).

My cling film box has a fixed roll and a neat little slider to cut the film though.
