An Expensive Repair


Recently I had new heela put on an ancient but much loved pair of shoes. The repair cost £19-95. I can remember when new heels cost five shillings!

Exploring Zoom


I've just found out how to use the Zoom whiteboard. It's quite a simple thing, allowing one to make freehand drawings, create a few standard shapes, enter text from the keyboard, and perform a few simple manipulations of whatever is on the screen, but it could still be useful.


Any reader who'd like to explore in my company should send me an email and I'll do my best to oblige.

Timely Blossom


My apple blossom is now almost over. The pear blossom was finished a few days ago. This is the first year for quite a while that the fruit trees have blossomed close to the time gardening books say they should. Presumably stimulated by global warming, they've been coming into bloom rather ealier. Last year pear blossom appeared in March.
