First harvest of the season: Gooseberries. Slightly early as we can get issues with mildew, but these will cook down well when soaked & cleaned. 2lb 11 & ~1/2oz or 1kilo 232g.
I'm trying to teach small Milord to play #frisbee. Ems used to let him play, but never allowed him to be the one who brought it back. He did stop it. It's right in front of him. He's just not over enthralled with bringing it back. We got 1 return today. Very weird to be out there without her.
We ended up just putting a cam on & doing a video catch-up of the last 32hrs or so. youtu.be/cIIz1hYnBwo Obvious content warning for discussion of death & related. If this one isn't right for you, feel free to skip it. We're just trying to walk that line between supporting everyone & our family

I just had a horrifying lightning strike of a brainwave: the legendary viking sagas, looking back as they do on a lost age, are the norse equivalent of those "do you remember the milk man" facebook pages. I mean, better written, but still. Ubi sunt and kids today suck.

My favourite actor is 80 today. Spellbinding on stage - watch her in The Deep Blue on YouTube - she has brought warmth, wit and devastating truth to writers from Pinter to Alan Bennett. But my secret favourite is as the worried, kind mother in the BBC The Borrowers. Happy Birthday, Penelope Wilton.
