I planted some triteleia corms in a trough yesterday afternoon. I put them amongst the spring plants in the hope they would be camouflaged.This morning I noticed one or two on the surface and holes where the others had been. It was forensic extraction. Nothing disturbed so I presume it was a mouse. How did it know they were there? Could it smell them or was it watching me?👀
Yeo Valley were running a competition to win a year's supply of trout. I don't eat much trout, maybe only two or three a year on average, but I was curious what they considered to be 'a year's supply of trout'. Apparently they sign you up for a monthly delivery of about five meal's worth of trout products, assuming you don't share it with anyone. Even though that's probably about as much trout as I eat all year every month I still feel offended that they're not promising to provide 365 fish. I kind of feel that a year's supply of trout should leave you totally sick of the sight of trout by the end of the year. I think even Jesus would consider that to be a stingy portion of fish every month.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I had to order a memory card for my camera last week. £10.38 from Amazon (It's the company Prime account so I have to use it) which seemed expensive. Today I checked my personal basic Amazon account and the card is listed at £7.28. I checked the work account and it's listed at £7.99. The £7.28 option is available but has been suppressed into an almost hidden link so unless you're looking for it then you won't see it. On my free account the cheaper one is the promoted option. Just a heads up for anyone who pays £79 a year for Prime 'benefits'.

What a great word. It can be applied at all levels from parish councils upwards. I'm not suggesting all fit the description, but many certainly do.
Hardly any opportunity for personal gain at Parish Council level. It's basically voluntary community service and largely apolitical. The next level up is a different matter

Careful @Hostafan1, we're agreeing on something - people will start talking
