I LOVE spring. I love the rapid growth that occurs. Grass is lush. Young tree branches shoot up whilst you watch, and as for runner beans..... they cant wait to grow. Off to do two gardening jobs. Instant switch off...
Another two ideas come bouncing into the world
I get the feeling that I need to give a public talk about the coronavirus though I don't think that the public will thank me much for what Iwil tell them which is that the beloved BBC so trusted of old has been...
A quiet but exciting day
Yesterday at about 1:45 PM I got the idea of creating a website to support people who were fighting various good causes. I was thinking particularly of 5G and Corona - exposing the disgusting corruption that is going...
An early surprise. Jack Frost visits.
I had an interesting morning when I was deselected from being a member of a local garden group. This is a "first" for me and something of an inevitability since I never really felt we were accepted by the group, I mean...
Will life ever return to normal? + a visit to my hospital
I took a little bit of a break yesterday hence no diary. It seems our beloved UK Prime Minister, Boris, is not giving anything away about a time or even if a lockdown will finish. One thing that is quite clear from the...

I became really frustrated with trying to sign up for Zoom as a host. I was going round and round in circles, nothing worked, so I decided to leave and come back again at some future time. Sometimes things resolve...
blue skies after a down day
Very strange that a low mood like I had yesterday was followed by great optimism and enthusiasm today. I went along to a local farm to buy some seven foot bamboo canes for my runner beans, and some compost for...
A flat day but a lovely sunset
Well people I can say that today has been flat. I have done an amazing amount of entries on the Corona section of my 5G site. If you have not looked at it before, you might find it interesting. I watched a video of a...
A day of virtual church services
Today's word – calamity I attended a very simple virtual communion service from somewhere in Shropshire. It was quite skillfully done; people are getting better and better at using Zoom; needs must as we say. I must...
A day of encouragement – useful stats
Today I rose early, at about five o'clock, and had a sneaky look at the computer to see what overnight communications had arrived. I looked at my viewing figures for my 5G site. Having a good stats program is very...
