I got some nice sensible sleep overnight so we might take Tilly to High Park this morning.

My sister lives in Brittany and she once send me a book of the Odorico Brothers mosaics from there and they are quite lovely.

I remember walking the North Downs Way. There were a lot of posh houses with massive grounds. Rich people. But they needed prison like walls and cameras to make them feel safe. Hardly worth being rich if you have to live like that. Their riches are just to stop them meeting us.

Nope.
Despite the protestations of the construction companies to the contrary, it’s incredible how many fields in my wider area are being converted to housing.
All of which are 3, 4, 5 bedroom ‘executive’ houses. (Either that or solar farms).

Made the mistake of doing a house search and filtering it on a max price just £15k more than I can afford and… all the photos are now of houses that look like houses inside rather than places to advertise floor and wall destruction techniques and how to arrange dirty laundry for a real estate photo.

Life is sometimes stranger than fiction. The troglodytic asswipe will still lose both houses and be impeached. I don’t care what y’all naysayers say. This year is going to be one hell of a ride with the Orange buffoon pissing of his own voters.

Bulldozers will be used on the houses of stone pelters of Chaumun! | चौमूं में पत्थरबाजों के घर पर चलेगा बुलडोजर: अधिकांश मकानों पर लटके ताले, 19 गिरफ्तार; वीडियो से और आरोपियों की हो रही पहचान – Rajasthan News
जयपुर के चौमूं में मस्जिद के पास अतिक्रमण को लेकर हुए विवाद के बाद प्रशासन ने कड़ा एक्शन लेना शुरू कर दिया है। पुलिस ने 24 पत्थरबाजों के घरों पर नोटिस चस्पा कर तीन दिन में जवाब देने के लिए कहा था। नोटिस की मियाद 31 दिसंबर को पूरी हो गई। नगर परिषद की इससे पहले भास्कर टीम चौमूं की पठान कॉलोनी में पहुंची, जहां पर जगह-जगह दुकानों और घरों पर नोटिस चस्पा थे। अधिकांश घरों पर ताले लगे हुए थे। कुछ मकानों के दरवाजे खुले थे, लेकिन वहां मौजूद लोगों ने बात करने से मना कर दिया। कार्रवाई को लेकर एक पक्ष का कहना है कि गलत करने वालों पर कार्रवाई होनी चाहिए। जिन लोगों ने कुछ नहीं किया उन पर कार्रवाई नहीं होनी चाहिए।

Council evicting people from 400 houses being demolished, and 230 houses being built in their place. "Move to private rented," was one comment.

In houses. Maybe let them work so they can pay rent?

The opposite of a #JustTransition! Replace housing for real people with "up market town houses"? Replace homes for 300 with homes for 230 families? Is there a plan for supported relocation? Too many questions to have any confidence about this!

This is the closest to what I remember making. healthylivingjames.co.uk/healthy-vega...

You could substitute half the cocoa powder with melted dark chocolate. Key is the oil. I think I did half coconut & half groundnut oil - I've always had cold houses & coconut oil solidifies too hard to spread.

Well, Spanish houses (ours, anyway) are built for hot hot summers, not winters. And the floor tiles help in summer, but less in winter! Still, we were sitting outside at a bar yesterday in warm sunshine, so I am not complaining!

There's a little disused slate quarry just up behind the houses open to the public and OH BOY there's some nice pieces in there, mostly too big to carry away but I did collect some. This piece was bought along with several other pieces at their shop.
