Apr. 26th, 2026 07:31 am Phil did something the police considered illegal in connection with a climate protest and is out on remand. I haven't asked what exactly it was but no doubt I'll find out in the course of the day. It seems impolite and possibly insensitive to push for that kind of information.
He's middle-aged, sun burned, soft-spoken......
Quakers have a long history of getting up the noses of those in authority.
Before Phil cycled in we had Wendy here planting potatoes and all sorts of other veg. I am charged with watering everything twice a day. "Don't you mean twice a week?" I pleaded. No. Twice a day, morning and evening.
Did you know that dandelions are wholly edible- root, leaves and flower? They're also medicinal. Particularly good for the kidneys- as the alternative peasant name for them "piss-the-beds" would suggest. We do the earth and ourselves a disservice by treating them as weeds. Wendy and I nibbled a leaf each. Bitter but not unpleasant. She also ate a flower. "Pretty tasteless" she said. We agreed we would cultivate a bed of dandelions alongside all the other veg- and to that end we collected some seeds.
