Lucy implored me to embrace spontaneity. Accordingly, I have pencilled it in for Thursday.

"Wilfred" is an Anglo-Saxon name meaning "He who wants peace," derived from Germanic roots meaning "will" and "peace" "Gimble" is quite obscure. I believe it might be Norman in origin, or else a variant of the German "Gimbel." Although the latter has some obscene connotations...

I wasn't sure if @FrankAWeatherly's provisional radio budget would pass, but if Roger misses the meeting on account of his Amputation, we might get it through by the skin of our teeth.

I went to buy walnuts from the organic grocery shop. They knew me on sight.

It’s mulch time again! And the tractors get bigger each year! Digestate from the local AD plant.

The prices of certain creams and ointments these days are quite unsustainable.

There’s a meal in our house called Mr Scrummy. I invented it when my two eldest were 4 and 6 and money was snug at the end of the month. The kids are still obsessed with it to this day. Mr Scrummy has a sort of sentinent ommipresence in the household. We refer to him as ‘him’.

Hello everyone, on the advice of @DrBrianHammond1 and having more companionship, I have decided I’m going to take on a pet! But I need suggestions. I fear I’m too old to look after a dog, I’m thinking maybe a tortoise though? What do people think.

Lovely news Rupert. Never underestimate the joy a dog can bring to your life. Mervin has been with us for 13 years and he's been a blessing.
