The All New Megathread

Morning org. Sunshine today, much better that the grey drear we've had of late. I shall make the most of it and get a few outdoor jobs done; eyes and training wires for my espalier apple tree, and plant the onion sets which arrived yesterday.

Morning Gary! Brighter today, will get out for a walk later. Being home again from hospital is the main thing though.

Its gorgeous here, really sunny. Shame I'm working from home. Getting excited that the solar will make a decent contribution today. Little things please little minds.....

Lovely here to, mind you another windy night that woke me up in the small hours

Well, it seems that my previous generosity in trying to keep open-minded was indeed misplaced, and that Craig was right.

The more I learn about this, the more I'm in utter dismay and disgust that it could be allowed to happen. It seems the smoke and mirrors of national level politics and administration is just too unpredictable.

I still don't understand how no-one knows where the money went: How do all these 'losses' that were used to prosecute not have a balancing identifiable surplus somewhere? Not being able to trace that is logically incomprehensible to me. And it's truly a travesty of justice that convictions were secured without such demonstrable evidence.

It is absolutely disgusting and a national outrage. The members of that committee have conspired to pervert the course of justice, which carries a custodial sentence.

As a minimum, Post Office management from that time should be stripped of all bonuses related to that time for malfeasance, and tried for PCoJ. Any politicians / involved should be removed from their seats / positions and tried.

But it won't happen. 'Lessons will be learned' and 'such egregious behaviour will be prevented from ever happening again' (they won't, and it will).

Has it taken another form? - the official silence re the side effects of the Covid vaccination

Morning all. Grey, wet, and peeing hard with rain again. There's a surprise! List of outdoor jobs has been put back another day.

[Craig380]

Quite the contrast to yesterday! So many bikes out & about, a couple of consecutive dry, warm days obviously had everyone scurrying to their garages to take off dustsheets and unhook batteries from trickle-chargers.

Pleasingly, mine fired up as if I'd only left it a couple of days rather than 6+ weeks, and ran like a dream. Thankfully wasn't mucky / salty when I got home either.

Morning all. Stopped raining finally, but still grey and gloomy out there. Hopefully I can get out for a walk with Mabel without getting so wet today!
