Crushed Walnuts Everyone?
Around the corner from me is a walnut tree.
Crushed Walnuts Everyone?
It looks like there has been a good crop this year, but most have been crushed or eaten.
The Fake House Is Coming On
I walked past the new house they’re building round the corner today.

It’s all looking good.
My New Thermometer and Hygrometer
I like to carry one around with me and I bought this new one from Maplins.
My New Thermometer and Hygrometer
I took it to Wigan on Sunday and it measured the temperature and humidity in the Pendelino as 23°C and 49% respectively.
Labour Has A Good Idea
Jon Cruddas is reported as saying in several papers, like here in the Mail, that parents will lose benefits if their children don’t have the MMR vaccination.
I’m all for this, as I know a few people, who were born before vaccination was possible, who after measles have developed problems.
It’ll also help to generate a lot of jobs in the PR and legal areas, as the legislation is fought. So it could be very good for the economy!
My New Tab Device
I make notes as I go through the day. I also like to keep my latest INR with me. So I’ve now got a new tab device.
My New Tab Device
I use a new one every day and they cost under a penny each from Ryman.
A Rubbish Bag Failure
I had a rare rubbish bag failure this morning.
A Rubbish Bag Failure
Despite my stroke, I seem to drop things rarely, but this was caused by a carton of chicken stock, that wasn’t fit for purpose.
The Diana Busometer Seems To Be Right
Judging by the dreadful reviews I’ve seen, the prediction made by the large number of bus adverts for the Diana film, seem to be right.
I shall not be going to see it. Wikipedia says this about the reception the film received.
So far the film has received overwhelmingly negative reviews from the British press with an approval rating of just 4% on Rotten Tomatoes. Writing for The Mirror, David Edwards said it was a “cheap and cheerless effort that looks like a Channel 5 mid-week matinee” and awarded the film one star out of five. Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian also awarded it one star out of five and called the film “car crash cinema”.
I read the review in The Times, where it was also given one star.
A Quote From Stephen Hawking
This quote from Stephen Hawking was in the interview he gave to The Times, which was published on Saturday.
I’m happiest when I discover something new that no one knew before. It gives a thrill nothing can match.
From my own experience, he’s got it spot on!
Wigan Parish Church From The DW Stadium
I took this picture at half time of Wigan Parish Church from the DW Stadium.

It’s one of those times, that I wished I’d had a proper camera and a long lens with me.
Two Female Football Photograhers
You don’t see many female photographers at football matches.
Two Female Football Photograhers
But as you can see they had two at Wigan.
