Writer, baker, a bit lefty, opinionated, unreliable, awkward, I read the news today, Oh boy.
It's Cpl Klinger's dream come true.

I'm guessing if Colombia could add a 30% tariff on the Devil's Dandruff that it could impact DC quite significantly.

My garden centre suggested a strong polytunnel tape. That was €18 a roll. This roll on the other hand cost €3. Couldn’t see any real difference.

How is €80 a year 'Best Value'?
€4 a month seems like a better deal to me.

Darkness fell about an hour ago here and there is a fire in the Western sky. There was a great poem by Wallace Stevens about blackbirds.....here is one stanza

It was evening all afternoon.
It was snowing
And it was going to snow.
The blackbird sat
In the cedar-limbs.

Everyone I know loves Blindboy Boatclub. His writing, podcasts and documentaries are hugely admired. Me? I just can’t get past the plastic bag over the face. Also, is that his real accent?

One of the oddest things to emerge from the US election is the bromance between Trump and Musk. One is an insufferable maniac surrounded by nodding yes men. And so is the other.
IMHO there is no way on earth that this relationship can last. My guess is before Christmas. I might be over stating it.
