Even during the current hot weather the UK has been experiencing the days have passed by very quickly. Eddie and I have spent a quiet week doing our best to stay cool and hydrated. Sitting in the shade reading a favourite book has been very enjoyable, so too have the salads ... simply perfect for warmer days.
People spend an average 22 years of their life asleep.
A now teenage boy called Ben Underwood lost his sight to cancer when he was 3 years old. He learned to use echolocation (orientation in space by sound that e.g. bats use) in order to sense his surroundings. Today he can play table soccer, basketball, he does karate, roller blades, enjoys pillow fights and much more.
It takes 42 facial muscles to frown but only 17 muscles to smile.
A 12-year-old girl from Ethiopia was kidnapped by four men on her way from school. A week later the whole group was accosted by three lions who chased the men away and stayed with the girl without harming her, only leaving when the police arrived, looking for her.
