Nation Realizes Money Just A Symbolic, Mutually Shared Illusion
If only…
As news of the nation’s collectively held delusion spread, the economy ground to a halt, with dumbfounded citizens everywhere walking out on their jobs as they contemplated the little green drawings of buildings and dead white men they once used to measure their adequacy and importance as human beings.

Two ideas for storing soup
When you make a big vat of soup – and with root veg being so cheap at this time of year you’d be crazy not to – you can freeze the remainder so you’re not eating leek and potato or carrot and parsnip every day. It makes sense to freeze in one- or two-person portions, but there aren’t that many small containers in your house, soooo.. what to do?
- Save old tins and reuse these.
- Use sandwich bags. (You may have to stand them together in a bowl so they don’t fall over before they freeze.)

Gardening is great
We’ve just been working in the garden for a bit of post-lunch constitutional. It’s been blue sky all day, lovely and warm in the sun.
The first compost bin I’ve built is a third full from last year’s banana tree growth. Ali has cleared one of the vegetable patches, Lola has been digging for mice / moles / gold / fun, and I’ve started work on some steps.
It is so very lush and glorious here I hope not to leave at all until at least… well maybe 2015?

X Factor
X factor is wrestling for people who don’t like wrestling. The bright lights, the fake rivalry, and most disturbingly, complete audience ‘boo ahh hiss’ control.
