Friday Frolics

Well, finally we had a full day of sunshine. Hardly a cloud in the sky and it was great sunbathing weather. That is exactly what I did for most of the day. I popped into town midday to have a lovely fish and chips dinner with a pint of Old Thumper. It was a large fish too!



I also received my Charles Wuorinen LP in the post. A great slice of classic sixties avant-garde electronica from the composers that ditched the orchestra, and used the new technology of synthesizers.




So, on the whole, a relaxing day.

Except for one faux pas!

I had bought a bottle of wine from the local convenience store for six quid and started drinking it outside with my little stool which had the wine glass and bottle on it, and I had had two glasses of the red vino already - and then I get up from my chair and accidentally knock the stool with the result of sn almighty crash of shattering glass and half-drunk wine bottle!

Ye Gods - stupid me!

I had to clear up all the broken glass and I felt more sorry for the spilled wine. Bugger it. I can do without that.

The Friday Five

1. Where is the most beautiful nature in your area?

2. Does your household grow some of its own food?

3. Do you recycle or repurpose a lot, a little, or somewhere in between?

4. What do you think the most endangered part of the Earth is?

5. What is the single best way for an individual to help the environment?
