#RecipeOfTheDay is one for the anchovy appreciators amongst us: it’s the dream dinner, Pasta with Onions and Anchovies! I apologise to the anchovy-antagonists out there, though it’s so mellow you could give it a whirl www.nigella.com/recipes/past...

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.
To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

Blessed are the dead that the rain rains upon:
But here I pray that none whom once I loved
Is dying tonight or lying still awake

Either in pain or thus in sympathy
Helpless among the living and the dead
