Doom and Gloom news & in the garden again

Its all a bit Doom and Gloom in the news this morning with the Express front page reporting the death of Joe Cocker and the tragic vehicle crash in Glasgow
They still manage though to bring us down to earth by regurgitating what could be a 2013 story  about controlling arthritis

Their final effort on the front page is a picture of Dear old Tara who flew into a rage and was arrested by armed police  at Heathrow because she was refused entry to a first class passenger lounge.    Other accounts of her "rage" describe it as a panic attack.  Sounds more like a "don't you know who i am" attack - - -

I scanned through a story about "preppers" in the US yesterday.  People are hoarding food and arming themselves against what they see as the Apocalypse "coming soon to a state near you"
This story though with its multi level underground facility where the "prepared, famous and presumably very rich" could live for up to 5 years looks like the prize we should all be "aspiring" to achieve - - -

Are you up to speed on current events?  this BBC quizz of the year will let you know.  OK its part 3 with the final "part 4 tomorrow.  Where's 1 and 2 well obviously thats part of the test isn't it - - - my score? miserable! lol - - -

the unseasonally warm weather yesterday, almost 13c at one point drove us into the garden to have a go at one of our little projects.

it was "all very well" that we should have such a stunning display of Nasturtiums but they took over the old garden bench which was meant for us to sit on and watch the fish in the pond

so after collecting a couple of handsfull of the dropped nasturtium seeds and distributing some to other parts of the garden we pulled out the few plants on that whole level 

plastic membrane was cut and laid and will be covered with gravel today if we can beat the forecasted rain 

The stats once again show double figures in the Temp. display but the Bar. is falling and most pundits seem assured that we are in for wind and rain later today 

Enjoy the day
