Reminds me of the time we were just about to start our 1st year RE exam when an almighty clap of thunder shook the building. Gary Wardle shouted, “I’m trying my best.” Forty + years later, still makes me smile.

Almost 30 years ago, when first married, I was debating laminate or real wood for the kitchen unit doors. Salesman said he’d come back when my husband was home as he’d be writing the cheque.
I got the real wood for the price of laminate.

Right at the very beginning, when we were told about the loss of sense of smell, I worried about the impact of Covid on our brains. My late father lost his sense of smell about thirty years before his Parkinson’s was diagnosed.

My MP, wish she wasn’t, is OK with it.
Part of her response to my email: “Rwanda has a credible track record of hosting refugees…”
Surely, when “credible” is the most positive adjective you can come up with, you know it’s not good.

About 23 years ago a stranger stopped his car and knocked on my in-laws’ door. He was holding my very young son whom he had seen heading out of the front door, on his own, towards a very busy road.
Helped my daughter move home, she’s now living in the smallest county and she has a blackboard in her kitchen. Dug out a small vintage gift and thought about Geoff and Margaret.

Stopping to buy fuel either there or on way back, risking emergency services/A&E staff if involved in accident, etc. He should resign.
Caring for elderly parents has never been more of a worry. I’m going to make time to go through some old photos with them. Perhaps there’s stuff I can share with
@britcultarchive
like this one of me and my brothers Trafalgar Square c1970
Not able to get to the coast this week for the

When I had my Covid jab this week, clinically vulnerable since Covid last year, I noted the signs have all been changed to NHS Vaccination Centre and no longer COVID Vaccination Centre. They only do the Covid jabs there.

My dad loved Shrove Tuesday nearly as much as Christmas. He wore this little badge when he cooked pancakes for me and my brothers and also for his grandchildren. I found it with his “most precious things” after he died last year.
@BootstrapCook
Sadly, we do. My mum is receiving palliative care at home so we have heating on all night for her and the wonderful

night sitters who are so very attentive to her needs.
Two more on my

list. My first ever Pasqueflower (protected from the rabbits) growing in my village and finding a copy of Wildflowers of the Chalk when helping my mother in law move house.

#InTheMeadow
Southern Marsh Orchid, Common Spotted Orchid, Meadow Buttercups, Meadow Stitchwort, Yellow Rattle, White Campion, and lots of thistles.
Able to visit the magnificent local Man Orchids yesterday but saddened to see so much of the surrounding vegetation trampled and even broken away, by previous photographers no doubt. Very disappointing.

I think this might be a nativity cast and I think my paternal grandmother is in there somewhere which would date it at around 1920. Label your photos folks, before it’s too late.

Blackbird was a regular visitor to my kitchen window for grapes. Now he's helping himself to the redcurrants, strawberries and tayberries.
@silverpebble
Just had a look in my “What would
@silverpebble
do?” box. A dead butterfly and a goldfinch feather the dog chewed but no oak apples! Will have a look tomorrow though.
