Can a time-traveller be delayed?
Even as a kid, this was always a problem for me with Doctor Who. If you can travel in time, why not make an effort to arrive early enough to prevent - or at least warn people about - the forthcoming invasion / plague / exploding planet / whatever?
I suspect Douglas Adams had the same misgivings - hence Wowbagger…

Anyone who has read science fiction knows about the difficulties of time travel and what a traveller might do wrong.
JK Rowling has to be assumed not to have read any SF involving time travel; she makes pretty much every one of the basic mistakes with it.

Can you wrangle a bucket of water to the upstairs lav, Carinthia?
Enjoy the wine and the snowdrops! I am so pathetically grateful to our bulbous buddies, this year, for just showing up. The Aconites are so very welcome.
For some reason, I have a pic of tonight’s dinner (well, Mr Bee’s portion) so I’ll post it:

We both had prawn dhansak, cauliflower and potato and a bit of steamed broccoli (you guessed it - another scraps from the fridge meal). He had boiled basmati rice. I must go shopping, tomorrow, as I have run out of imagination.
Wine? I couldn’t possibly

Nothing wrong with using stuff from the 'fridge, Soo. Itizz probably the source of most of my soups, except for the ‘classics’ like mushroom, or leek & potato.
I got 2.5kg of potatoes for 27p, so will be cooking for the freezer this weekend.
