Mundane News

Very far from mundane really.

Purple sprouting broccoli.

Cropping well right now

And still only 71% counted. When Rick Santorum ran some years ago, Iowa Caucuses reported Mitt Romney the winner. Then, a couple of weeks later, they reported that Santorum had won, but he was already practically out of the race. Either changes have to be made to the system there, or they need to quit wasting candidates time and money on their circus. Illinois has a primary. I have yet to see a presidential candidate in the Downstate. Trump came last election, but all that did was have his supporters park all over the graves in a graveyard across the road from the airport.

I'm charging it.

Ah that explains your optimism & not anxiety

“May the cat eat him and may the divil eat the cat”
For that last part, where some respect should have been shown.

We have just the cat for that.

About to take Middle Son off to casualty: he got accidentally headbutted on the nose yesterday, and we think he's okay but we want to be sure.

Turns out he's fine. Now he's being as unsufferable as possible and tellling me that he knew this all along...

Always best to know, though. I told everyone i was fine after an off, but my Father made me go to the hospital.
Fractured jaw, concussion, 33 stitches. No anesthetic.
Almost as good as having what I thought was the 'flu. Turned out to be a rather severe case of food poisoning.
The youth are good at resilience, but poor at diagnosis. Err on the side of caution.

I have some jars, some soil, and some herb seeds. I am starting a little herb garden, just to see how it goes. I am also starting to stockpile seeds.

I made a pot of soup this morning with the lamb bone and cooking juices, plus some leeks, celery, carrots and parsnips that wanted using up, Oddly, it made me think of @mudsticks and her lovely veggies, and lo and behold, she posts pics to tempt me!

Spent the afternoon moving, sawing logs and splitting. It's nice to take advantage of this good weather before it turns shitty again, and I now have a good stash of logs laid by in the garage for immediate use.

I have also just about finished the painting I'm working on. Still a couple of minor things to do when I've got good daylight - namely adding some shading to the various sponsorship patches on the driver's overalls - but that's a 10 minute thing tops. Really pleased with this painting. It may end up as a gift to someone who I know will really treasure it.

Did you watch Life Drawing Live last night ?

I have been crawling around jacking up my car,removing the wheels and then changing the pads . I'm glad they decided to stop using silly bolts to hold wheels on . My wheels are big and heavy and I would hate to think what a struggle it would be if they were bolts.
I will try the brakes out tomorrow.
I have pumped them up so there won't be a panic as I first try them out .
I had a nice hot bath to celebrate .

Indeed. What annoyed me was a couple of the staff seemed to rather take exception to us being there and treated us as if I was over reacting.
