Among other things, starting the process of converting 5kg of Oullins Golden Gage plums into liquid beverage. 
The plums have done well this year, loads of Victorias to pick in a week or two.

Today’s “London can get a bit much for some people” would be the guy standing stark naked at Victoria.
“Urgent police assistance on the south eastern concourse”.
No shit.
Not always the case in these situations.
As long as he wasn’t intending to cause alarm or distress he’s not breaking a specific law. They could deal with him under general laws relating to public order, outraging public decency etc if it seemed appropriate.

Hmm, just got home from work and it appears I am swiftly to be sharing Ruby’s kennel. Every time I open my mouth I seem to piss Claire off more and more. Even when I said I was going to do some work on the decking. I am absolutely in a no win situation when she’s in this kind of mood.

Man up you giant Wendy and take your punishment for whatever massive transgression you are responsible for. Your guilt is obvious even from this distance.

Trying to decide whether to get out of bed in the dark tomorrow to watch the last of our cooling towers come down.
I went over for a reccy this afternoon (and sort of to say goodbye to them - I shall miss them) and the fact is that the viewing areas are very limited indeed. If 300 people show up it will be fine. If 5000 people show up it will be frightening.
As last time, the contractors’ attitude to the public can be neatly summed up as “Fuck you, Didcot”. They have actively refused to take any responsibility whatsover, or to prepare constructively at all for the people that their spectacle is going to attract. (No, really, it is. Remember last time, you idiots.) For example, there is a very large cleared area pretty much due west of the towers. If they’d prepped that a bit and opened it up then there would have been plenty of room to give a large crowd a decent view. But no. That would have required some people to get off their arses and organise stuff. But. We. Can’t. Be. Bothered.
I can hear their excuses - someone would have to manage the traffic. What about the poor residents of Sutton Courtenay being woken up ? We’d need Portaloos. What if 250,000 people turned up ?
But surely we can do better than doing nothing ?

I reckon you should do it. I moved to Grove in 1966 as a youngster and first worked in Compton, then Milton, then Abingdon and for many years I saw them daily -They were a memorable landmark.
