First Class science fiction – Area 51 + local political meeting

I do not know it is true, false, or partly true but it is a brilliant piece of imaginative writing and it transfixed me this morning for over an hour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rclRtlI3CHI Local Public meeting This evening we went along to an open evening run by a counselor Shaun Hughes, one of the unpaid people who run an aspect of the services provided in Midsomer Norton.  The meeting was...

Before you do anything else, watch this video – 10 year old prodigy

A crazy Gemini Day as it happens So this is going to be one of those days when us Geminis leap around in various directions at once. Geminis cannot stand boredom. We are cheap to maintain as we are a 24/7 entertainment machine.   We do not stop. We have a Peter Pan quality. Age is a number. We are sometimes difficult to live with.

Day three of my bank holiday weekend

There are no less than three arts trails which start today so after breakfast  we jumped in the car and arrived at a place called Blagdon. It is in the Chew Valley and a very old village. You can tell it is old by the very small gardens, picture-esque though they may be, and streets that are not widen enough for parking but we stopped first as an artist called Chris Holden who had lived in...
