Gentlemen of the road.
Balti is Hinduistanish for bucket. Food cooked in a bucket. Very popular in Brummagem, for historical reasons.

I have recently switched from bottled gas to air source heat pump.
It works as well, is much cheaper and better for the environment, but it needs an app. I do not like apps. I want to buy something and own it outright and control it with a knob on the wall.

Barbara Windsor as Edith of Mercia.
Margaret Nolan as Edith Swanneck.
This is one of the times when I am right.

When I was still but a stripling youth I used to watch on TV “The Galloping Gourmet”, mostly because there was not much else to watch.
But the lessons that I learned then have stayed with me very since.

As a one-time Londoner, I remember how disappointed I was with Khan’s first years in office. He wouldn’t do anything without a consultation.
He’s turned out to be damned good. I can only hope* that Burnham will turn out the same.

*(It’s the hope that kills you.)

Mr Pip has much to contend with. He has my sympathies.

He’s the big one, unless it’s Tom Cruise, in which case he’s the small one.

Today I went to the Tank Museum at Bovington.

It has a soft play area.

So why not?
