CLIMATE
45 years ago I started teaching geography and climate change was a key component of my geography lessons. I must have been a crap teacher as the situation has got steadily worse. The biosphere is struggling to maintain diversity and food chains. Ice caps and glaciers are melting, the acidity of the oceans is changing, weather events are becoming more extreme and frequent. I still believe it is every individuals responsibility to do what they can to ameliorate these issues, but it needs government and diplomacy to force the mega rich corporations and individuals to take immediate action.
OLIVE PASTE
Good with toast, or on tartlets with cheese. 200g stoned olives, 25g basil, 75g olive oil 1 lemon and zest – process. decorate with parsley, thyme or basil leaves/flowers.
Potato, garlic, red pepper, tomatoes, thyme, salt and pepper, veg stock and harissa paste.
Fu*k
They just played GSTQ across the speakers in my road. I put up with the bunting, but that is too far. Can anyone actually name one thing the monarchy has done for this country over the last 70 years; other than milk off large amounts of tax money and sequester huge areas of land and property, and alter laws to her benefit.
BOOS AND WHISTLES FOR THE CRIMINAL
Personally I do not want him to resign or be forced out, I want him arrested for corruption and treason to the British people.
WEEKEND
Being retired I find it hard to remember what day it is – and this Bank Holiday has thrown me – I woke convinced it was Saturday. Oh well. neighbours have huge marquee with industrial sized mega speakers. What should I play to drown out the National Anthem? Hendrix I think. I have just made a nut loaf and some vegan Fairings. Next up will be some vegan cookies – coconut and apricot and dates with cinnamon I think. And then some vegan scones – I might do these in the morning with vegan smoked applewood cheese.

Pageantry
The Trooping the Colour Pageant is ok for tourists and OAP’s, but has no relevance to modern society. The abundance of flags is more sinister. Some streets in our cities resemble fascist rallies. promoting nationalism and nostalgia are all this government has left to offer. With poverty rife, prices rising, a chaotic mess for a government they want us to look back. But obviously not to carefully – top rate of tax in 1952 was 97.5%, public services were nationalised, dentists and the NHS was free. Maybe we should look back and see what the good things were that we have lost. Not TB and polio, rigid social norms, racism and homophobia, misogyny and intolerance.
I think what we have lost most of all is hope. Climate change is upon us, and still being ignored. The rich manipulate news outlets to develop fear amongst the population and promote the policies that benefit the status quo. Culture wars and anti-woke campaigns try to undermine harmony and tolerance.
Wave the flag and develop a kind of mass hysteria promoting nationalism and the status quo is the way forward for the government of ineptitude, or should it be the government of incompetents.
Garden
Weather has been good for growing – regular light showers and warm although it could have been a bit warmer. Tomato plants have first flowers, as do the lemon trees. just made lemon pound cake – nice. New plants soon!
FIRKIN BONKERS
The government moves on from the parties to important things like promoting imperial measures. Bonkers! what is the reason for this? The papers arevtrying to make it anti-EU even though the move to metric had nothing to do with the EU and is not banned by the EU. Align with the USA makes no sense as their measures with the same name are actually different e.g.a ton.
