The Avon and Kennet canal (from Bath going east) is our refuge from 'civilization' with the one exception of cycles that are ridden far too fast and do constitute a danger. Here follows a pictorial series of observations on a warm but not sunny day. To view, click the printer icon on the top right and the images will become bigger. The first example is a chicken house.

The smile says it all
I am watching a fascinating video about an Indian lady who was murdered by her sister in law and transferred to another lady 100 km away. The lady assumed the personality of the deceased and remained in the body until her death 13 years later. This is evidence for the survival of human consciousness.

Instead of the nice lady there is a rather hostile man who tells me I have to wear a mask or wear a lanyard. I say that I don't. It is enough to tell him I am exempt. He follows me in and repeats the request. I...
