Re: WHAT DID WE HAVE FOR TEA?
Three hot meals again augmented by some very tasty savoury rice and onion I cooked just because I fancied it.
I shall be roasting some belly pork this morning for the same reason!

Kids and a calf at Hey Farm 50 years ago..... If there was a better way to rear kids than with plenty of green space to play in and with animals as companions, I never found it!

The glass is up on 1023mb and the forecast is for sunny intervals at first but heavy overcast by late morning, it ...

And she couldn't vote. Stand by your man. Tammy Wynette, 1968. In 1968, this country and western song sped to the top of the charts, where it coexisted—uncomfortably?—with several songs by Bob Dylan. In itself, standing by your man can be an overrated virtue. It didn’t do much for Hillary Clint...

Starmer has just announced that Dianne Abbott will stand as a candidate in the General Election.

Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY
Thanks for that Peter! Definitely good news. I keep wondering what the affects of AI will be on both the ability to hack other computers and the investigations into the hackers. I suppose we will never know.

Re: Seen in the News
When I was in California I learned a lot about the instability in slopes that can be caused by water lubricating the boundaries between layers. The more rain we get the more chance there is of this happening I suppose. I can't get away from politics in the news this morning. See THIS verdict on Star...
