Amateur Hysterics
My mother’s been watching the tv news (she still resists taking a leap into the 21st century) and finally heard the GEAS announcements, and then heard that a load of people went off the deep end and decided to make nicey-nicey with trains.
So what does she do? Call to make sure I’m ok. Why, because I might throw myself into traffic? I’m worried but I’m hardly hysterical.

I feel an REM song coming on, and it isn't 'Shiny...
God, have you seen the leaked reports from GEAS? I’m not sure if they’re leaked or official, but I can’t believe they’d put out something so… drastic.
I mean, that’s all end of the world type stuff. And it’s likie the world’s suddenly gearing up for the apocolypse. And I’m not talking a Buffy Summers ‘it’s the end of the season so...

They’re going for the crops we have lots of, at least, so it could be worse, I guess. Still, I put a lot of hard work into those veg, and didn’t do it just so some sods could come and pinch them!
On my mind
The stuff we talked about last night over dinner has been stuck in my head today. I got some work finished this morning (God, remember the days when people actually commuted to work? I can’t imagine that now - a digital office is so much more practical, and all that time I used to spend travelling I can actually get things done) and then found myself surfing the net and checking out how much...
Food for Thought
We had a bit of a dinner party tonight. Nothing special, just the usual suspects. It was a bit of an event, though, because it’s the first time we’ve made a proper dinner party type meal with all our own produce. Impressive, no?
We’ve come a long way. God, I remember when we first got the allotment. The brambles were over my head and it took a while to clear, and that first year...
