Thank you Gary , I have Oregon Grape at the bottom of my garden

Stephanie hi... in places the same bush is also referred as Oregon Grape Holly.

Those bushes have terrible thorns on each lobe of the leaves.. ouchie..
they sure hurt and make tender places.

Thank you LPT

Well today was without power for a few hours, they've been putting new poles up to take the electric cables, my phone line is also fastened to the same pole.

Compared to the pole that was there originally the new one is several feet taller and now instead of the wires being separate they are all wound into one thick cable, it looks a lot neater plus it's much higher up now so you can't see it when you first look out the window, you have to be right up to it and looking up, brilliant.

They should have been changing the pole in the neighbours garden but the ones on the other side of him wouldn't allow the engineers to drive up the drive with their lorry. It's a block paving drive, just hope the pole lasts as it's not in the best condition think it's been there since the 1960.

Sausage has a lot of liquid in it, mostly in the form of fats but also water bound in the meat and fillers. Water does not have to be present for spoiling to happen. Sickness causing microbes can grow and feed without water present.

Dried food such as jerky or dried fruits have less chance of spoiling due to less water but also have lots of salt or sugar added as preservatives. Given time though both can rot, decay, spoil and plain go bad.

After more than 24 hours of eating an expire sausage (since January; I decided to cook it yesterday morning). Nothing has happened to me. AFAIK, it the food doesn't contain any water or liquids in it (IDK if sausages have liquids in it), then it will be safe to eat. I remember this on a UK-based show (forgot the name), they even cooked an expired noodles that expired 6 years ago and the only difference was the taste.

Very dangerous. Please don't do it again.
