 Spoilers Now I have to be honest from the get go I loved the last episode of And Just Like That…… After just nine episodes ( some of them very clunky) the season finally reverted back to the Sex Of The City of old and got back into its well paced and solid stride. The finale closed a few doors and opened others Carrie let go of Big and starts a new career and a kiss with her hunky promoter  Miranda goes to Los Angeles for a few months to support Chay ( it will end in tears) And Charlotte remains the frilly back bone of all after a disastrous Bar Mitzvah is made good. Ok we can all do without the infertile Black Professor storyline but  the unapologetic  Seema ( Sarita Choudhury) is an energetic addition to the cast even though the men ( Steve and Harry) have been under utilised so far. Anthony ( Mario Cantone) thank god is still blessed with all of the great one liners ( as well as a rainbow yarmulke ) and I loved Hari Nef ‘s introduction a...

The day has gone. And just like that …… I went to bed for an hour not long after midday and woke at 5 pm. Everything was dark save for my sister’s fairy lights above the patio which twinkle away quite merrily, the back of the cottage now feels warm and loved. I’m on nights again  Until Sunday  The dogs and I have walked around the village and all is quiet. The Community Association is organising a post lockdown meal at the Crown in March and I received the email today inviting me to go.  Dorothy H ‘s old bungalow has sold on London Road. The huge trees surrounding The Rectory have been pruned by a tree surgeon and their silhouettes are stumpy against the night sky. Oh and someone out of Trelawnyd placed a rare set of plates with prints of the village houses on them on the village Facebook page for sale which I endeavoured to buy for the Hall to display but they had already sold which was a bummer. I messaged Affable Despot Jason asking him if he wants to go t...

 Coffee in hand  Music beside me Praising As I contemplate My next move On this warm Spring-like day I recall days  Of drinking fruit juice And eating tuna salad At the swimming pool On Miami Beach Speaking Spanish With mi abuelita  from R's rue https://ift.tt/nWQteT72l

Every year dozens of new species of animals, insects and plants are recorded on this small planet. I find that kind of mind blowing. There we are sending rockets into space and yet we don't entirely know what we have down here - in our forests, our mountains, our rivers and our oceans. It is rather tragic to think that as acres of virgin rain forest are destroyed, we frequently lose species that are gone before we have even discovered them.  Collectively, we are meant to be guardians of Earth but evidence suggests that we don't care a fig. We continue to destroy what we have got. The tiny brookesia nana chameleon shown in the top video was "discovered" just last year though almost certainly it was already known to some inhabitants of northern Madagascar. "Discovered" sometimes means recorded by Science for the first time. Also "discovered" in 2021 was The Bright Orange Bat ( myotis nimbaensis ) found only in caves in the Nimba Mountains of We...
