I’ve just been reading some 3D modelling documentation which includes the sentence “To simulate water environment, use a very high value for damp.”

New arrival - a bantam. Actually, probably nearer a third the size of Soo, but he doesn’t seem to realise it; he certainly doesn’t seem to understand the consequences. Suffice it to say he’s been named “Tyson”…

Quite. I tend to keep an eye open for terns as well. The little darlings used me for dive-bombing practice once as I walked past Loch Druidibeg on South Uinst at dawn in 1978.

Heidegger-Bee’s theory of Beeing-With states that there are Beeing, Not-Beeing, and Absence of Beeing (when the honey runs out). I Bee therefore I Jam, unlike that silly fellow Des Carter who now has to make an extraneous visit to Sans Bee. (And pick up some Brie while you’re there.)

Ex-OH was born on the day of the Coronation and was related to one of the earls then extant, and had been given the bench that earl sat on for that occasion by Black Rod, who was an uncle of some sort.
It was upholstered in yellow brocade, not red. And it was a monstrously inconvenient bit of furniture, being eight foot long and not in the least comfortable to sit on.

I watched the Coronation live on the telly. I remember Black Rod vaguely but not his seat. The person everybody lurved was Queen Salote of Tonga, who waved double-handed to the crowds from her open carriage, bare shouldered and beaming in the pouring rain.

I think the Coronation benches will have been in the Abbey rather than the House Of Lords. I just thought I would mention the one that I knew about having been a different colour from the usual red.

Just so. I know somebody who was a pupil at Westminster School, and had to show people to their places on 2nd June, 1953. One of his charges left the fairly splendid Order of Service behind. He still has it.

Tyson the half-a-rooster. Like it. Hope he settles with the minimum of fuss and flying feathers into the joe menage. Reminds me of a fictional cat called ‘Bruno’ - big, black, crap in a fight…

Farmfoods sells itself on the ‘cheap & cheerful’ model
For years it was cheap & cheerful processed stodge
They have upped their game, &there are some real bargains to be had
Their own brand frozen veg are 5 bags for £4
For those of us wot eat tinned tuna fish, they have 6 tins of Princes for £3-99
I have to admit here that the late Mr C loved tinned tuna & preferred tinned salmon to fresh
As does his Brother, & his Children…
