It is like Hillsborough never happened. There seem to be a number of organisations who should conduct their own internal reviews to make sure it does not happen again.
WATER COMPANIES
COMPUTERS
I know they are wonderful but also so f****** frustrating. Firstly I try to contact the council about a broken food waste bin. I must have registered some time in the past because it tells me my email is known. So it asks for a password I wrote probably 8 years ago – send reminder. Cool. Get new email and punch in the new password they have sent me – not recognised. I try a few times and get told I have been timed out.
RICOTTA CAKE
This has my taste buds bubbling. Does Sandford Stores sell ricotta cheese though? Definitely need to go on an expedition to get some. Recipe
SEALS
Numbers of seals born in the Frame Islands this year are predicted to be higher than previous recent years. I know there are no predators (although I believe a wandering orca may have been seen in the past). Can I be positive here and assume that despite a morality rate of 50%, there must be plenty of food available? And if so presumably some of our sea birds will also have done well this summer. We need good news after yesterdays news about the number of formerly common birds being moved to the red list, swifts, greenfinches, house martins and Berwick swans.
IGNORANCE
There are at least 11189 gullible or bigoted people living in Old Bexley and Sidcup. What is it that this government has actually done that encouraged them to get off their backsides and vote for corruption and lies. Another couple of thousand voted for believing the Brexit lies and drowning people in the Channel.
FOOTBALL BLAGGING
The latest table shows the field bunching up. Harvey and Lola are catching up. With 16 points available for the winner each week the table can change rapidly.

SIZE
At what stage does the human mind stop recognising people as individuals and see them as statistics. Or is it a learnt mind set. Did First World War Generals consider the individuals they sen6 to their deaths, or was it like a board game? We seem to be having a similar analogy here. Cases of covid have soared in South Africa from 2-300 a day 2 weeks ago to 8000 plus yesterday. But the office party should go on?
We know that the buffoon has not progressed past the me, me, me stage but he/it still seems to have the power to coerce members of his tribe that he is the chosen leader!

FOOTBALL
Bragging rights. Having wallowed at the bottom of our little league table for a while I am on a roll this week with 6 correct results including 3 correct scores out of the 8 games so far! Week 14 can be viewed here
