Temperature today forecast to reach 18C. That is a huge concern. Trees coming into blossom, insects around (just a few).

Listening to the Trawl podcast. They make the very pertinent point that this government does not care about the British Economy, just the economy of the top 1%. The Truss ‘budget’ will cost the taxpayer £40-50 billion. £10 million of that was purely due to the announcement and the loss of confidence in the government. That confidences is creeping back slowly, The Braverman, Williamson and now Robb appointments have not gone down well with the public.

Oil companies have raked in nearly $150 billion this year so far. This is double the profit for the same period last year. Also today the UN has reported that climate change is now irreversible, and that the 1.5C target will not be hit. It is late October and the temperatures are above 20C (10C above average). Yes this might be due to natural circumstances, but the trend is obvious to all.

What power have you got?
Where did you get it from?
In whose interests do you exercise it?
To whom are you accountable?
How can we get rid of you?

Only democracy gives us that right. That is why no-one with power
likes democracy and that is why every generation must struggle to
win it and keep it; including you and me, here and now.

When I started I would make my comment and try to justify it. I have learnt, that just like MP’s statements, the justification bit is pointless. So I am happy calling any Tory a NOB – no justification needed.

Temperatures here to reach upper twenties by Friday (and then fall again). I just picked marjoram and thyme to make some focaccia with olive and sun dried tomato and garlic stuffing. Then some strawberry cheese cake. And then some strawberry cookies with ??? apricots and coconut? Tomatoes in GH are beginning to form – hopefully next week will see first crop. Nit having much sign of life from seeds I put in a few days ago, Korean Mint, Red Basil and Lemon Basil. I have even sprayed them with warm water and spoken nicely to them – maybe they need a bit of Pink Floyd? I have had a raspberry! and some wild strawberries.

Bought more stuff from BAM – in the sale – I must throw out my old stuff, socks and threadbare jeans and shirts.

This government cannot even get this concept right! Voters are in favour of wind farms inland (79% of Tories, 83% Lab, 88% Lib Dems). In favour of new nuclear power stations 46% (in principal but NIMBY) and 32% new gas power stations.

How sad that the neighbours in Downing Street are having a completion to see who islets bad? One was born in the USA and the other is a USA citizen of sorts. And Brexit was taking back control??? Have I missed something?

First Siri tells me it 28C and expect storm later, then the papers are on a rerun, then I cut myself in the garden (not badly – just a scratch really). Just made me grumpy!!

Coffee and start again.

I just cut my Hair in the garden – the birds last year took the grey strands for their very hygge nests! Thought. I would pop t-shirt and apron inn the washing machine – oh no my phone was in the pocket of the apron! Fortunately I was playing music and as soon as it went wrong I realised – thank you Apple for making the phone so well.Aggh – not so fast – it will not charge, saying it has detected water – I wait and see?

1. As a 19 year old articled clerk. We had a client who was being done for pornography – he was a 60 year old knife thrower at a fairground who had a ‘peep show’ when he could not get anyone to throw knives at (he also wore pebble glasses!). First I had to go the the police station and view the offending material – gross! Then was told to go to the paper shop and buy every magazine on the top shelf! Glowing like a 100 red traffic lights I had to take them to the counter which was staffed by an attractive 18 year old girl. Then the solicitor and I had to look through them to see if they were as gross!
2. In court for drinking and driving – it was the morning after and an early start to pick wife now ex up from work at 6am.
3. First day at Churchill School – new tutor group – 5th on the register was Siobhan Fear – my pronunciation was embarrassing Is-oh-b – Han!

that will do for now!
