Farmer Raphael finds a calf in the morning that was born out in the field, at about 1,500 metres altitude, then carries it down the mountainside, slung around his shoulders. Mother and one of her girlfriends follow them down and Raphael watches as the wobbly little guy finds the milk and gets his first good drink. Off to a good start!

Pumpkins love our Swiss Alps garden at the best of times: a wheelbarrow's worth of dried manure from the farmer next door, a handful of pumpkin seeds and they grow like mad, running down the slope. This year was exceptionally dry and sunny, and the pumpkins, all 60 or so of them, loved it!

[...] Morges, Vaud, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – Hundred-year-old eggs are not part of the daily diet in China, but they are not considered odd, and eau-de-vie de viper, or brandy with a snake in it, might pass in some parts of France as a sensible way of getting rid of your fear of snakes. In Switzerland, both are unusual. Morges this weekend is offering lessons to the brave or curious on how to unlearn cultural notions about food and drink, with Jean Michel Durivault leading workshops on how our taste buds work (photo album from Morges Aliment bizarres workshop).

The picture of the young woman smoking a cigarette is clear proof that smoking makes a pretty girl ugly. That is one of the ugliest pictures of a pretty girl I’ve seen in a long time.
More women die each year from lung cancer than breast cancer, uterine cancer, and ovarian cancers combined.
Smoking doubles the risk of having a heart attack, and increases the risk of dying from a heart attack within the first hour. This is an especially serious problem for women since women are more likely to die after a first heart attack than men. Women who use birth control pills and smoke are at especially high risk of having a heart attack.
WHO’s World No Tobacco Day theme this year was “Gender and tobacco with an emphasis on marketing to women.”
Smoking also increases the risk of other cancers, including breast, uterine cancer, bladder and oral cancer. Smoking also increases a woman’s risk of low bone density and osteoporosis.
