One problem I have with my gammy left hand, is eating on the move, as salads can be a bit much to manage, as I really need a plate and a knife and fork.
I saw this excellent spoon/fork/knife in Cotswold in Islington this morning.
An Elegant Design
At only two pounds, I bought one.

My Internet trawl for the New Bus for London, picked up this article in the Financial Times called Touched With Madeness about Thomas Heatherwick.
So many quirky ideas, may look good on paper, but can’t be made. His can, although he had a few early ones suffered from problems. But then so did Brunel’s.
Hence the idea that every idea and design should have the quality of madeness or the ability to be made.

C, myself and our three boys, were the first occupants of 111, Cromwell Tower in the Barbican. It was a good place to live and we all enjoyed it.
So I was very surprised to see a similar flat featured in yesterday’s Times comic. It is in the middle tower;Shakespeare, with a picture showing Cromwell in the background.
Our’s was a three-bedroomed flat and they say that the one shown is two, but they may have been a similar layout.
It’s funny how you notice things, but we were mandated by the lease to have carpets everywhere to cut down the noise. The flat shown has got wood block floors.
But otherwise they are surprisingly like the flat we knew.
If I walk to the end of my road, I can see Cromwell Tower, in all its crenellated glory.
I may have gone many miles in the forty years since we left, but all I’ve done is take a short run up the road to where my ancestors lived.
