Climate change, evidence from crops

Says a lot about Climate Change, that in the last few years damsons have been finished at least 6 weeks ago.

Damson tree in this photo from 2018,  the damsons were ripe  least six weeks ago, this time that  year

Happy memories of Algy

Memories from 2015 of having a drunken Algy Serama chicken sitting on my computer desk. As you do. He had been at the over ripe fermenting cherries on the ground.

Memories, bittersweet

Oh, this gave me a bit of a heart pang. Such a lovely memory from last year. How things have changed.

A rant.

Why do some people (now unfriended) think it's ok to have their hair done for hours and hours, or go to pubs and mingle socially like they did before COVID-19, or think clubs should be open, or not wear masks in shops and then complain if challenged ?

When we are still in the middle of a pandemic ?

*edited to add for clarity, that I am NOT talking about a physically distanced drink in a pub garden, or a visit to the hairdresser for a relatively short period of time, or about those who cannot wear a mask. I'm referring to those who *choose* to flout the guidelines; say "its all a conspiracy"; behave in an anti social manner;

 and then boast about it, after.

Making and mending

Cotton Pajama bottoms for me shortened, double hemmed (and then  close sewn because I hate the rubbing feeling from the edge of turn ups)

And a child (or emergency backup adult) washable face mask made from the material I cut off, plus two hair bands.

(I'm 5'4", so why do I have to cut off 3", at least , from everything?)
