Beauty and brains. La comtesse de Gramonte avait l'air d'une reine . Attributed to Louis XIV of France. To be one of the most beautiful young women at the licentious court of King Charles II was not necessarily the kindest of fates, but Elizabeth Hamilton made the most of it. ‘La Belle Ham...

Just one task in mind this morning, finish boring the cylinder and clean the mill, reverting to the normal cutter. That meant an early breakfast but that won't worry anyone. All done and I am ready for tomorrow.

Re: WHAT DID WE HAVE FOR TEA?
Three hot meals and the belly pork is doing fine.
I used some apple cider vinegar in the cooking and it is a powerful taste. It has survived well and gives an extra bite to the meat.

Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY
"Loyalty to a company is probably misplaced now " That is undoubtedly true. I am sure that at one time it counted for something but now it means nothing. The only advantage I see now to what we used to call loyalty is that there is less chance of a mistake in the computer's dealings with ...

I agree with you David but I think at the moment a lot of people are looking at what'/s going on in the world and needing some assurance that we might be capable of defending ourselves.

Misty start first thing but since then full sun. I have had a short walk and a sit on traffic duty but that wind spoils it!
Things could be worse, at least it's dry.

Morning Sue! That sounds like a good day, I'm glad you didn't mention the 'visitors' in the loft. That signals to me that they aren't spoiling your visit!
