Your fanatics are going to hold you to that Mr shrimp 🍤
We want to see your outdoor 🍤cave up and functional by next 🎅
Growing up we had mulberry bushes, rhubarb, a sugar pear tree and a lilac bush. Never appreciated any of it until now.
As I watch you tramp through the woods, looking for mushrooms, I am thinking that the woodland may be too young for the mushrooms you are looking for. I want to also go for walk in the woods, but the weather has been too bad lately
maybe since the core of the elder is easily hollowed out , maybe it explodes when on fire ? ( when temperature/pressure hits
43:09 I ABSOLUTELEY want to hear about how you broke your finger!
The recreation was so great and I know you hurt yourself but this was such a funny and interesting story.
And I wish you a quick and painless healing.
Merry Christmas and great health for you and your loved ones
💜
When you read aloud like that, it sounds great! You sound like David Suchet reading the NIV.
Orson !!!! 😁 – Happened to myself last week but unfortunately shattered my right wrist ☹ Shows how easily it happens. Methinks the 'tatties' prevented further injury 😁 All the Best to J and the future 'Truffle' dog for the festive season 👍 Would be interesting if Eva sniffed out the truffles.
For some reason I found the animation you made of you struggling to catch your balance hilarious, I think it just managed to perfectly capture the sudden panic your entire body feels in moments like that! I hope your finger heals up well, I've broken a few bones before and I'd never wish it on anyone else. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Shrimp, ol' chap. And, of course. It goes without saying….though I suppose I am in a way…Merry Christmas to Jenny, and delightful Eva.
Thank you so much for this perfectly timed video. A comment positivity treat was just the tonic I needed today 😊. Loved the whole video as always but you particularly had me laughing out loud when you started reciting war of the worlds and also your broken finger anecdote. Thanks for the chuckles.
Have a very well deserved festive holiday and happy new year to you, Jenny and Eva, from Belfast.
Might want to adjust the gravitational forces along that path. Might be easier to do than re-laying that path! 💕🎄
Elder berries are slightly poisonous if not processed(cooked or dried) so maybe burning them could poison you, or maybe this type of wood really doesnt burn well as you said because its spongy on the inside and that would probably retain a lot of mousture
I'm kind of impressed that you hadn't broken a bone before. I've broken multiples of fingers and toes, two bones in an arm (at the same time), ribs, and a foot, all separately over the years. I've always been a bit rough and tumble I guess, plus I'm female, so probably smaller bones. Wow, spectacular sounding fall. Any eyewitnesses? Sorry about that. I'm glad the finger's going to be okay, and is coming along. And it's a nice blessing that you still have all of your front teeth (I presume).
It's all those little factoids and nuggets of info that Atomic Shrimp drops effortlessly that I enjoy.
When my archery woods are cleared of non-native rhododendrons, they have to be careful when burning them as they release cyanogenic compounds that you wouldn't want to breathe in. Elder has the same compounds, which is probably what led to that folklore, and certainly wouldn't bode well for frail people or infants.
"Getting your eye in" happens in proofreading as well – after copy editing for decades, I can't turn it off, which can get really annoying when I'm just trying to read for pleasure! Thank you for a lovely walk in the woods on this cold Brooklyn morning!
There must be some deep meaning to the fact that you broke potatoes but not eggs during your tumble, but I have no clever thoughts at the moment. Glad you are doing better. Oh, and Nile Red made some purple gold in a recent video. It brought you to mind.
The beautiful call of the Jackdaws at the beginning warmed my heart!
Ho ho ho.
I am sorry AS but I laughed out loud at the "What of the shopping"! But I had done a lot of "OOhhs" "Arghs" and "Ouches" at your description of your accident! Nasty but easily done. Hope you and Jenny (and Eva!) have a lovely Christmas. Looking forward to all your videos in 2024.
the animation where you turned into the isle of man flag briefly is hilarious. i'm glad to hear you're healing up OK and are on the road to recovery!
I had to get rid of my mulberry tree. The birds were pooping the seeds everywhere, and they were staining surfaces and sprouting little trees that would grow up in between my chain-link fence and be difficult to remove. A lot of extra work for what was an insipid, bland berry. I only plant natives now.
you walking through leaves gave me a flashback of being a kid in northern Michigan and going mushroom (for morels) picking.
The flashback was so strong, i could almost smell the leaves! Thanks so much for the memories!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, Jenny, Eva and all your friends and family. Hope your finger heals quickly and without any issue!
