It makes it a joy to be out and about so early, before the frost thaws.

But itā€™s tough on the bees and other pollinators who are out and about a bit too soon, the frost quite merciless when it falls.

Oh gosh, Jim. Are the ravens leaving the Tower? According to HRP ā€œif the Tower of London ravens are lost or fly away, the Crown will fall and Britain with it.ā€

Several of the governmentā€™s mooted changes to the ways of life of the elderly (including the above) ignore the obvious fact that as we age the physical effort and complex bureaucracy involved in, for example, means testing, or downsizing to release assets, becomes, for many, beyond reach.

Iā€™ve been revisiting the 70s recently. Gene Hackman brilliant in The Conversation and The French Connection. A crossover with Walter Murch, editor and sound designer of The Conversation so have also been watching The Godfather 1 and 2. Al Pacino marvellous. Jane Fonda is superb in Klute. You?

I watch quite a lot of old movies. 17 books! Congratulations! I am, alas, a slow reader though I also listen to talking books which ups my average.
