Not Up Or Down
The UK cost of living is no longer changing, it's official. The annual rate of inflation is now 0%, prices are not moving in either direction. How come then it still feels like I am shelling out more than last year for the same things?
Thought: if rising prices is inflation and falling is deflation, does that mean we now have noflation? There I've just coined a new word for the English language LOL.

Dramatic!
We took an overnight stay down at Dad's with LL this weekend. On the whole we all had a lovely time, although sadly I don't think Dad is getting any better. I'm very worried for him. Anyway, overnight we were treated to quite a dramatic storm.

Extra Second In Bed
Apparently tonight (midnight UK time) an extra second will be added to clocks worldwide. So more time under the sheets. Read about it here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-33313347
Guess that also means those on the opposite side of the globe will have to work just that little bit longer LOL.

Soup Dragon
Am I the only one excited by the return tonight of the knitted inhabitants of a distant moon LOL?
Can't wait to see The Clangers back on TV. How sad am I?

Annual Fig Update
Yes it's that time of year again when I bring exciting news on my potted Fig tree. Seems to be doing quite nicely this time, enjoying the sunny and sheltered position. For a bit of a thrill, I also this year publish an image of one of the Peonies which grows in the garden. Life really is lived on the edge here LOL.
Lovely isn't it?

Not. Guilty?
Apologies for being quiet for a time, I've been attending the Crown Court performing my civic duty. Or having to do Jury Service if you prefer LOL.
To be honest while there is a awful lot of sitting around, waiting, without a great deal to occupy your time, I found the trial process itself fascinating. Perhaps I should investigate being a court usher, would make for a change that's for sure. Apparently you don't need a qualification in UK law just an aptitude for process and procedure. And a degree of common sense. Guess that rules me out LOL.
Reading Crown Court, impressive and quite lovely isn't it?
