If I were to become a single issue zealot on a matter that admittedly won’t solve much in the way of the world’s ills, it would be, and already is if I’m honest, the preservation of cooling towers.
Look at this book. Maybe I can justify it for Christmas.

There is only Denis, Miss Parrott and me. We all get along very well. Miss Tomb is away, has been since January. I've been planting cabbages this past week.

I'm on the hunt for not one, but 2 of these extremely rare Polygraph drafting templates. Preferably to be found in South Africa (the Rand is too weak for me to look elsewhere).
All leads and snarky comments welcome (that would be you @fuzzybunny.org).

I woke up this morning and looked at my phone, and it turned out I’d been planning a route to my parents walking the canals from Manchester. I think I might be in line for the BBC job.

I sliced the loaf at an angle, and it’s increasing with each slice. The final sandwich at a gradient difficult for towed caravans, and hill starts.

Some people get awfully het up when they see something irrelevant to their personal circumstances. They must go through life thinking, I don’t know why that road goes down there, I NEVER need to travel in that direction.

30 million dead, The Somme, painting created by Mary Bishop 1976 in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital where she was compelled to live.
Aged 4 when her father was killed in WWI, the reverberations of his death & her mother’s vast grief traumatised & distressed Mary for the rest of her life

My connection to the internet is playing up this morning, which is unfortunate, or a bonus, depending on who you’re asking.
