TOMATOES

Definite end to the season. It’s been fantastic, so much fun in picking my own. I reckon I picked about 10 cherry toms per day for at least 3 months. Lots of water (waterbutts). and ok, I will admit to a little tomatorite. Cleaning greenhouse I was surprised to see just how full the pots were with roots! Basically no soil left! And I will start a tomato recipe book here.

TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE.

Whilst I welcome the introduction of some science into the process of Covid-19 measures, the proposals I have seen are too little too late. Level 1 I totally agree with – social distancing and mask wearing (but please enforce). Moving to the next levels should depend more on rates of increase in infection and hospital beds, not the raw numbers (waiting to hit 100 is basically daft!). And that should trigger the local response which could be overseen by the Westminster fools.

PROJECT BIG PICTURE

Just posting this – no opinions yet, Project big picture.

Money talks so I suppose it will happen regardless. And despite attempts to make news out of it the basic premise of reducing size of Premiership, getting rid of Charity Shield and League Cup are not really surprising – other than it did not happen years ago. The rest of the financial stuff will take longer to analyse.
