The Peregrines Are Back At Winchester Cathedral

I feel sad that Winnie has been killed. I suppose her days were numbered only having one big chick last year. :cry

March - The beginning of Summer

Flights aren't that quick travel having to set out 4.5 hours earlier are they. I have successfully rang HMRC and got though after nearly an hour at 16 pounds an hour but it's done. I think the system of charging tax by tax code 2 years later is a silly system. It is going to make it very difficult t...

Getting Food in the time of Corona, Brexit and War

In the olden days it was a pound weight which is 453g

My ancestral quality street tin is 6lbs compared to today's tubs which are less than 1kg/2lb.

Getting Food in the time of Corona, Brexit and War

I think there must be a shortage of onions. I used to get the saver onions which were little ones and I preferred them because for me on my own can cook one onion at a time. I havd had to buy big onions for a while but last time had to get red onions. Never seen or heard of pink onions. I think they...

Baltimore Bridge Collapse

It does seem part of a wider pattern these days. Not seen a bridge done before but there are a lot of buses and lorries crashing under bridges and even motor cars crashing into houses like the one that broke panis internet and at the end of my road the other week which smattered their garden wall an...

When the tough get going.

Two more ministers have resigned. One I never heard of and Robert halfon I have heard the name but couldn't recall what he did. Maybe this is how government ends all of them resigning drip by drip until not enough left to make a government. Wasn't that the final straw for Boris in his time as outgoi...

Poor old Charlie

I don't think Charles will be allowing Andrew back. Charles didnt like Andrew even before Epstein-gate. And getting rid of him was probably main motivation in slimmed down monarchy idea. It's a pity in some ways as Andrew seems the only one in family to actually enjoy the silly hats and capes and be...

March - The beginning of Summer

I don't understand why OC is stupid because his keyboard didn't work. Is there a missing detail to that story. I still use old wired keyboard for computer and tablets have stupid popup keyboards which is still my most hated thing about otherwise convenient tablets. Are you expected to just keep tryi...

Tough 1 (23 March)

4. Smash hits. Which was a magazine with lyrics to pop songs. At the time it wasn't like now with records supplied with lyric sheets or just Google it. There was no way to find out words to songs and they weren't at all clear to hear at times.

Poor old Charlie

Prince Andrew in his pre known toxic days tried to get royal jobs for his daughters but because of slimmed down monarchy plans they weren't wanted at that time so they didnt rule themselves out they were ruled out but same difference where we are today. There's a big fuss about Catherine and doesn't...

It's almost the same story as that of the king isnt it. Operation for non cancer and then cancer discovered. The succession planners will be busy because apparently they thought they had at least 10 years allowing the children to be old enough to be new monarchs and monarch helpers should the worst ...

Rishi Sunak priorities

Inflation is down again which is better news than being up again I suppose but still high enough the bank of England chief has to write his excuse note explaining why. This never gets mentioned these days and seems no consequences for him. Rishi meanwhile has rumours of plotting to be rid of him as ...

Blue Lagoon, Iceland - seismic activity (and webcam)

Doesn't this volcano know about climate change and how we are supposed to be cutting back on emmissions.

Must be very worrying for Iceland people. Nice sunset to look at but no use if your home might be gone.

Sainsbury's has broken today and online orders not being sent also can't accept electric money in stores so it's cash only. This has made the news but I am surprised doesn't happen more often because smart everything is fine while it works but one day there's just nothing. This is on top of people n...
