Planted more seeds – about 180 pots so far.Various types of tomatoes French marigolds, dill, wild bird / bee plants, red sunflower, morning glory and a couple of others.
COVID
I have not posted on this for a while. However there are some concerning statistics coming out. Locally in N.Somerset positive cases are up 72.5%, patients admitted up 37.4%, but deaths down 33% to 2. So how does one analyse this? I suppose I do not know the criteria for stating hospital admissions are up? Nationally there has been an increase in over 60’s developing the virus and a 4th injection is proposed for me!
I know there is other stuff going on – but maybe we should not turn a blind eye?

What are the links between the Conservative Party and Russia? Lord Barker attended COP26 as a representative of the Russian delegation.

The fact that some contracts were not given to donor companies does not dispel the possibility of undue influence in other areas.

ENERGY
Europe and in particular Germany have found themselves in a dire situation by relying on Russian oil and gas. Germany has also closed environmentally unfriendly coal mines and after Fukushima ran down their nuclear programme. I have heard rumours of some dodgy deals done regarding the pipeline with Russia, and previous German Government officials.
