The Pentax lens I bought on the bay arrived . It's a shame that the weather s a bit gloomy as I would like to give it a better test . I'm having to do manual exposures as it doesn't have the electrical contacts . It seems pretty good .

watching mass murder play out on TV in Ukraine is normalizing it. this is horrific & all our children are being traumatized but also this horror is normalized. no wonder why so many don't feel the horror surrounding mass murder. & in the US we put high capacity assault rifles in their hands, no permit required

Sounds like a bagpipe tune, " The Dreary Road to Lochaline."

The touroid think it is wonderful but once you have done it a few hundred times it gets just a drag. No relaxing as there is traffic both ways rushing to get a ferry at each end with lots of blind corners and one long steep hill where there is always an idiot who does not give way to traffic climbing.

I'm finding the posts lately are too interesting and less mundane.

Yes, a lot of the posts on here are too interesting to qualify as mundane news.

I have to go in daily for intravenous drugs, so they see me then, but all follow up is with my G.P.. Hospitals seem to think you are better off at home as soon as possible, and my G.P. is in the same system. St. Joseph's is a good hospital, good food as well.

May seem a bit trivial but too many people complain about hospital food. I have got far too much experience of it and cannot really fault it. It is mass produced cafeteria type but what else do they expect?
My wife did have a problem at one Glasgow hospital where the food was produced in Wales and transported hundred of miles to Glasgow. That was justified.

That's cos she's a DOG.

Cats tend to be far more discerning. Well, that's the *theory* anyway...

The only thing our cats would not eat was coop mince. Certainly not fit for humans either. They did get lots of seafood which they loved. The seafood was scraps from my daily catch.

Bins are frequently talked about on here. Have you had one of these in your bin?

Absolutely, neither are mine, and I've edited the post to reflect this. It could also be a desire to make sure their son isn't stressed; as you say, we're outside of the situation.

I had not thought about that aspect. If he finds it stressful to have people looking directly at him, which is usual when you are talking to someone, then yes, perhaps that is what the parents do.

As they have a garden that open out onto the same field as my back garden, I have spoken to them when they take the dog for a walk, and maintained a reasonable distance.

Dragged in another three large ash branches that came down in previous week's storms. About 20 feet long, I'd guess, and 4 inches at the thickest end. Will keep me in firewood for a while.

Wood bins in the house also stocked up.

I now have a

I like cheese and ohyumyum crisps.

My go-to flavour as well.

Although when I buy crisps on sticker (usually multipacks with damaged packaging / bags missing) I'm pretty catholic. The only two flavours I'm not so keen on are salt & vinegar and pickled onion.

I remember KP used to do fried onion flavoured crisps back in the day. Man, I loved those...

Mmmmm, watching that Russian tank formation getting flattened by the Ukrainian military after blundering into an ambush was very satisfying.

My bike is getting mildly dusty at the moment.

Better?

Time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Having watched Nigella Lawson cooking the last few nights I know understand why Terry Wigan took the Mick out of her so much
