Jam, not Jerusalem


How lucky am I? On our way back from a walk on Thursday morning we saw our neighbour; they have a greengage tree right next to the fence dividing our gardens, “Help yourself to greengages… please!” she said, “The freezer’s full of them and the children are refusing to eat any more crumble - we’re sick of them!” Well, I didn’t need telling twice!

I am now the proud owner of some golden gorgeousness… I made a few jars of sunny-coloured jam for winter mornings when it’s cold and grey. Lovely. We gave it a trial run on some toast this morning; blimey, it was so good! Hardly surprising when the fruit went from tree to jar in under two hours… fresh or what?!

Boris gave a briefing yesterday. Clearly, he feels people haven’t been sufficiently frightened to make them kowtow – they’re starting to act sensibly and think for themselves (and that will never do!) – so he’s tweaking a few regulations and making up a few more unnecessary rules in order to get more of us to comply with his silliness.

Micromanagement by Govt has gone into overdrive. It’s like a game now; they’re just seeing how far they can push us before we reach breaking point. They’re playing us. For the love of life, will someone please make it stop? I think we need a modern-day Guy Fawkes to shake up this bunch of bloody clowns.

Weather was ridiculously hot yesterday – 34°. Ghastly. Thankfully it’s much better today – low 20s. I hate hot weather.
