Thursday [21 till close of play]

(1730) Evening all.

27.  It’s very late for me (2335)

… but I just saw something:

Often it’s the fleeting moment which stays with you, something which happens, it happens quickly, it’s not at all what others say later. Then there’s a lot of, “Oh well, I’m sure it’s not …”

Why would people say that? How are they sure? Simple answer is … they’re not … it just doesn’t fit their sense of reality.

There’ve been just a few I’ve been quite curious about.  In no particular order:

a.  NIST presser following 911 … I have always said NIST lied but of course, people say well govts always lie, it seems no big deal, but it was about clearing the rubble.  Gone now.

b.  On 7/7, a policeman in the station was told there’d been an explosion … 11 seconds before there was … the first one. I wrote it at a forum and the result you can guess.

c.  At the 2016/17 inauguration, I saw Pence and Ryan, briefly, exchanging repartee which seemed overwhelmingly to be derogatory, snide. There’s a difference between happy laughter/joking … and that. I commented at the time that there was something wrong with those two.

d.  The Clinton bunch, at the 2016 debate, said they’d broken no rule about consulting outside the room but that’s a lie … Clinton was clearly filmed in the corridor with aides.

e.  Before DJT went to the lectern, some man went to the lectern … DJT’s only … to supposedly clean the sides down.  Shortly after, at the lectern, Trump was not well. Both this one above and a pundit at the time claimed it was an attempt to kill DJT … I took it differently … that it was only to incapacitate for some time.

Yes, of course it could have just been last minute checking … but the action was wiping down … why exactly then?

Anyway, I’m not staying up for it, readers.

26.  Risible “debate” too

What gives here?  Is Trump just casing the enemy, just to see what stunts they pull?

25.  The risible “debate” later

“The harvest has begun!

Today I picked the strawberries - enough for dessert tonight and tomorrow for the two of us. This are far more strawberries than we've had any other year. And there are as many again still to ripen.

I also picked a punnet of blackcurrants. It was windy and threatening rain so I was delighted to pick them without fighting off the wasps. Also, no sparrows tweeting their displeasure this year. The jackdaws, however, noticed me and got a bit upset. Then the rain came so I dashed indoors, so only one punnet today.

The punnet of raspberries are what I picked yesterday. I picked a few some days before and used them in a trifle, but I'm not sure I can use these before they start to deteriorate. We could have them with yoghurt - but we have the strawberries to eat and prefer those because it's our first good crop. We have a cooked breakfast. So it looks like raspberry jam is on the books. I'll collect more tomorrow and make a few jars if I can. 

The blackcurrants will keep for a while and are destined for jam and possibly pies if I can gather enough. Hmm. We have visitors next weekend staying for 10 days, so perhaps I can gather enough for a blackcurrant pie. There will be enough for 8 of us.”
