Orion re-entry vid & Trees and bulbs

Here's the Orion Spacecraft bobbing around in the Ocean after returning from a space flight.  There's a 10 minute video thats worth a look if you have the time showing it creating a plasma light show as it crashes through the Earth's upper atmosphere - - -

The Express front page warns us of 400k of Migrants are missing in Britain.  This is an increase of 140k from their story on Thursday - - - !! - - -









I popped down to Banbury to see No 1 Daughter (the elder) yesterday and couldnt believe how clear the M1 motorway was, i mused that it might be the prelude to a "car park" experience on the way back

Here we are having lunched at The Pickled Ploughman although my expression looks like its me that's pickled! - - - Not a drop etc etc etc!  We both had soup and fish and chips, I cant wait to see what No 1 thinks about our Fish and Chips at The Grouse at Froggatt  our local lunch stop - - - Coming back the M42 was a bit of a car park for a while but all was well after J24a on the M1 - - -

 No 1's kittens are growing and developing their individual characteristics, as they do.  It will soon be that "worrying time" of letting them roam! - - -

 Sally was visiting our friend Lisa yesterday and its not long ago that Lisa rescued these 2 "dumped" kittens from one of their units on the farm.  They are from the same litter even though completely different colours.  The grey is the boss apparently, the other has so many markings like "old Tom" its hard not to mention the fact! - - -

We ordered 2 or 3 miniature fruit trees by post way back at the beginning of summer, having promised ourselves a number of times "not to do it again".  "They will be delivered in Sept/Oct" said the blurb.  Having received nothing by mid Nov we contacted the firm and received the usual "jig" from Customer Services.
Not long ago a long cardboard box appeared at the front door and it was opened

although packed well every single tree was damaged to some extent i guess because we got them late we got all the "end of the line" specimens - - - so once again "Dont do it again"  along with the order are 75 tulip bulbs that must go in today! - - -

Cool stats again with wind and rain for the next 3 days forecast by most weathermen!

Doesn't look too bad out there at the moment though
Enjoy the day
