Today, picked a bowl of strawberries, and raspberries, (they went on top of a chocolate cheese cake, don't tell anyone) some apples,pears,runner beans, tomatoes,rocket,lettuce
The online version of our local 'newspaper' is famous / infamous for its non-stories. Even so I think they excelled themselves today with the following cracker "Two cars involved in accident near the hospital. Drivers didn't require treatment"
Daily Telegraph ‘Shell found on beach’ Guardian, reporting a strike by librarians in Essex, ‘Book lack in Ongar’ Not sure this has been verified but a famous alleged headline in WW2 ‘Eighth Army push bottles up Germans’
And in the Leicester Mercury small ads ‘Lost: a small black in Clarendon Park’. The next day the word cat was added.
Gawd, how l hate that website @KT53. I came across a story on the front page the other day and thought "l hadn't heard about that", only to find it was from September 2019 🙄. Apologies, should be on the Curmudgeon thread. On a cheerful note, it's been another lovely day here.
"Shell found on beach" - brilliant @BenCotto New walking shoes arrived today - after a load of nonsense with delivery [r*ddy Hermes] It would have been awkward if they hadn't fitted, but they did. Good and comfy.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

It is awful isn't it AnniD. It's one of those "It's so bad, it's good" situations. There is rarely anything newsworthy, but their 'reporting' at times is hilarious, as is their choice of stories to hit the headlines. As you say, some of its top stories are actually not news at all as they are from months previous.
A couple of weeks ago one headline was somebody complaining about coleslaw on their chicken nuggets - so this hotbed of investigative journalism decided to compare chicken nuggets from various establishments. Give me strength.
This should go to Curmudgeon corner but the initial headline did make me laugh.
Our front garden is the territory of an extremely tame robin. He stands inches away and looks you straight in the eye. He scared the wits out of me when he flew past my ear as I was weeding.
Robins may only be small but they are fearless. I've mentioned before that I have to be extremely careful when digging over the border to make sure I don't stand on one. He will happily go between my feet when he spots lunch.
