Bread baker, crafter, gardener, ex-scientist and (long ago) ex-punk. Passionate about recycling and re-using. What a combination. I suppose being a Gemini explains it.

Very Trumpian. Create a problem that doesn't exist, then declare that you solved it. And your followers will cheer you onπŸ™„

No second state visit for Trump Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.  This is the...

I think I must have read all 70-something Agatha Christie books (including the short story collections) at least 3 times, lol. Others I have read multiple times are Robert van Gulik's Judge Dee books. So clever, and so much info about ancient China.

Happy 10th Birthday! I recommend The Toymakers
by Robert Dinsdale, although it is best read around Christmas time. You will find out why. A very strange and unusual story indeed.

Another environmental catastrophe caused by Russians east of Crimea, after one of their decaying oil tankers broke apart on high seas 2 days ago, 35km of pristine coastline has been contaminated in true Russian style.

And these tankers are now all over the world.
