Re: The October of 2019

Hi folks. Yes, I deleted the "surplus" October threads, it was pretty obvious which one had been adopted. Nothing like a good corned beef, made by the butcher (or home-made), it's far superior to the universal pressed / sliced corned beef we get in tins. But not that many butchers go to th...

September flutters in ...

OK, here we go! Why "flutter", I hear you ask (or not .....)? Well, it's in keeping with Rwth's last post on the August thread, and we've been discovering the reason why the cauliflowers we were growing seem a little bedraggled - a rough count comes up with several dozen caterpillars per c...

Unsettled August

Well, it's kind of "unsettled" here in the Wild West ... sun one side of the house, showers the other! And every sign that it's going to continue in that vein, at least for the next few days (the ultra-long-range 3-day forecast). Wishing everyone at least the occasional spell of summer wea...

Re: The Merry merry month of May...

Greetings! I have recently migrated this site to a new server, and updated the software - you shouldn't notice the move, but you may notice effects from the upgrade, including disappearance of custom "styles". I'll work on getting some alternative styles back sooner or later! Meanwhile, if...

Very quiet hereabouts, but I'm not closing up ... the duster will be run around now and again, just to keep things ready as a quiet retreat as and when wanted :-)

Good morning folks ... looking like another fine day here in the West! Just a quick observation that hopefully no-one will even really notice: if you're using Google Chrome, once you update to version 68 (due today) it will throw out warnings when you access any website that isn't "encrypted&qu...
