The Market Day that did not happen

A Carrot produces triplets My goodness, I know that carrots come in  all shapes and sizes but this triplet home grown carrot was somewhat unusual and very aesthetically pleasing. This has nothing to do with  today's events but I thought I'd mention it. If I had been more conscientious in the past I would have taken a photograph of every misshapen carrot I have ever grown and given it a name. But...

Why worry? + a memorable Bath visit

I got this great idea that the more you worry about things the more the solutions are going to come to you. I worry about the future of the world, I worry about the welfare of my friends.  I worry about the people suffering from fires.

The delights of morning TV – table for one, sir?

Once I wake up, I get up. Waking up is normally an indication that you have had enough sleep and the day should begin. Making a cup of coffee or two is normally my first activity after drinking a glass of water if I can remember. While this is going on, I turn on the TV and it's a question of either the GB news or TalkTV. I have not watched the BBC propaganda program aka 'news' for a long time...
