Capture: Spring Breaks, in reply to Jos,
cheeky darky tomato posts
Let the toms get very dark before you eat them. Orangey red is not enough! They are sublime eaten warmed by the sun and on toast (Vogels or sourdough or Breadman pumpernickel) with salt or kelp (or marmite or salted brewer’s yeast flakes). I can't wait for the Tigerellas.
Much excitement last night as the promised tornado/giant hail/ hurr of a downpour didn’t happen and wreck the fruit trees and veges as we thought it might. We had a pyrotechnic sky: but it hugged the hills and we just missed the worst of it.

Some all that by Moe Tucker

“In the Buddhist tradition it takes days 49 days for the spirit to leave the body.It is called “bardo.” Like Jewish Shiva, Irish wakes and different cultural rituals, it is a time for the living to share stories and simply just sit together to help each other and most importantly help the spirit be fully freed into into the Cosmos, December 16 was the fiftieth day and at the Apollo Theater a celebration of Lou Reed’s life and work took place with his friends and family gathered with his wife the artist Laurie Andersen all saying goodbye, good speed Lou.”That man has uploaded other clips of the memorial including the tai chi (I haven't watched it but some peoples may be interested):

Capture: Spring Breaks, in reply to Nora Leggs,
Black Krim (good thing it's not spelt slightly differently) are excellent for flavour; we had some plants last year. Big tomatoes and they produced through summer and autumn. I sadly failed with seed-saving and all the seed went mouldy. Riesentraube will be interesting to see what it is; Tigerella are my very favourites for their intense taste and orange stripes. The sole Bloody Butcher has fruit three weeks after planting.
Picked the first cucumber today, and the Gravensteins are looking good for early January. Basil failed. Garlic forgotten. Think I'll call myself the Unreliable Gardener.

+1 Particularly the split between "governance" and "management", which leaves the gaping black hole of responsibility that no-one occupies.

Excellent; especially it being election year.

Good God: PAS is becoming a chamber of horrors. Shall we call it the "Gitmo soundtrack"?

A Christmas song. Unfortunately we gave our boy Joey Ramone's Ya Know (vinyl of course) last year for Christmas so this is a house earworm.
