Sign in the front window of a client's house recognising that their garden is Wildlife Friendly and was awarded by local community groups in Didcot.

Today's office is an "Award Winning" front garden! In a town, like many, where front gardens are usually paved over (to provide yet more parking for cars). This owner has kept the garden as a garden. I might just enjoy a little bit of the glory!

Blimey. The Puzzle Gods has smiled on me today. Pity that the Rain Gods look not to be so similarly inclined.

It turns out that rock-bottom has a basement.

Celeriac soup recipe James Martin’s celeriac soup is a great winter dish. Leave out the bacon for a vegetarian version. Serve with crispy pancetta and/or croûtons for crunch.

Squidgy Lemon Pudding well, what's left which isn't a lot 😢

And I have been reminded that it is also International Squidgy Lemon Pudding Day and we are doing our bit.

When someone uses the word, "illegals" I am done listening to what they have to say. I live in America, a nation stolen from the indigenous natives, built on the backs of slaves, & made prosperous by the sweat, & blood of immigrants. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." My country is not white. It's not Christian. It's American. It's made up of people from around the globe. Humans aren't illegal. But your dehumanization, & demonization should be.

Delphi (Black Miniature Schnauzer) has decided that she needs 5 more minutes on the bed before getting up.

It's Sunday morning... 5 more minutes and then Delphi will think about thinking about whether or not another 5 minutes is needed. Me thinks... so.

Delphi's (Miniature Schnanuzer) loafing about on MY CHAIR.

Delphi's view of November is... that it is rubbish. I can tell she is thinking about her Christmas lunch already.

One of our Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera) plants. Segmented leaves end in outrageously strong Fuchsia coloured flowers.

Blimey this "rescued" Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera) is really strutting its stuff blasting out its outrageously bright Fuschia flowers to brighten up this VERY dull VERY damp and VERY cold November day.
