First plants in – plug plants of Chilli Rellergreno; Chilli Demon Red; Chillies Filius Blue; 3 trailing fuchsia, 10 trailing (Ivy) Geranium. All in conservatory. Last 2 are for hanging baskets – t-shirt cutting up due soon.
Watching the weather but think I will plant tomato seeds in next couple of days.
Winter jasmine in porch is in flower – very nice. Lemon tree in Conservatory has flowers – I will wait and see if there are any lemons!
Why is there no clamour for more solar panels and wind farms in the present political climate? Greater insulation and energy efficiency across the board also seems essential for many reasons.
So sad to see the UK descend to such low levels of governance. The Royal Family with their medals look like parodies for a “Carry on” film. Rees-Dogg acts like a Bertie Wooster film character beyond ridicule in the 21st century. Other cabinet ministers fall over themselves in their haste to make ridiculous statements.
3 PEOPLE AND 5 BANKS ARE IDENTIFIED AND SANCTIONED. What a joke! Did they not donate enough?
Putin makes a move. In some ways quite astute. He just visibly taking control of what he already controlled by proxy. What the West does now is difficult to gauge. Sanctions could provoke further expansion of Russian forces into the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. It is likely that Putin wants some resistance to enable him to send further troops in. By stating that Ukraine is not a country he can deny lying when he said he would not invade it (From the Johnson book of lies- p734).

At present it is close at the top – Adam leading Aaron by 239 to 237, mart and Andy close behind with me and Kate not far behind and John close too. Latecomers Di and Harvey are battling hard. Each week is its own game and Mark Lawrenson of TV pundit fame and football superstardom has been in bottom few for last couple of weeks!
