We're they soggy?Regarding locusts as mentioned, they must be kosher because the Jewish wilderness prophet with the long hair, John the Baptist, used to eat them for his diet of wild honey and insect locusts.
No, he didn't slope off to the local take away!

Perhaps even a Freemasons apron?@gennepher that is so kind and absolutely stunning. In my strange mind that conjours images of Orthodox priests robes - which I like.. Bless you
Shaparak Khorsandi does a good joke on that and her school nativity play. There is also the famous George Best and Miss World story.Ah well. How many men have been brought low by women, lust and alcohol? Who suffered most in the end, I wonder. John? Hardly. Herod? Herodias? Her daughter? Women in general? Herod was a powerful fool. His wife and her daughter were clever plotters who gave women a bad name which has lasted for all these centuries.
My hand is in the air!Ah well. How many men have been brought low by women, lust and alcohol? Who suffered most in the end, I wonder. John? Hardly. Herod? Herodias? Her daughter? Women in general?

My apron has Mrs Brown on it!Perhaps even a Freemasons apron?
Shall we shake on that?Perhaps even a Freemasons apron?
I like Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, he conflates Bathsheba and Delilah.Ah well. How many men have been brought low by women, lust and alcohol? Who suffered most in the end, I wonder. John? Hardly.

That's what powerful families did then - have done for the greater part of history, and still do in this enlightened world.The Herod family, if I remember correctly, towards the times of the end of the second temple by Rome, were killing each other.

Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?Late afternoon all, been a busy old day.
Blood sugars were 5.1 this morning.
An interesting day here in Tilehurst Towers. Mrs J had a man come round to trim her front bushes, he had all the right equipment and works extremely hard. Mrs J is very impressed with the quality of his work and he always reaches those difficult to find spots. Mrs J is hoping he will have an attempt at her back bushes soon.
Seeing as it’s Tuesday which is my day for pandering to the woke aficionado’s and gender confused, I can be called Loretta…..Just for today.
Stay safe all.
Welcome @thesamestranger5.6 this a.m
Surely Mrs Miggins is not a leading light in the Men in Sheds movement?Good morning everyone from a cloudy with hints of sunshine start here in the dark and dangerous north and welcome to @thesamestranger. Wetter than an otters pocket yesterday so a good opportunity to check out waterproofing of rain coats that have been sitting unloved for such a long time in the cloakroom and having to listen to the brollies telling horror stories of being ripped inside out by high winds. So, a walk into town, bus back sort of day. Today though, I have the great privilege of being selected from a cast of one to drive Mrs Miggins to an important engagement that probably includes meeting up with ladies who lunch and waffle on about tool sets and the secret life of 10mm sockets. Art bit, some acrylics on water colour paper but probably end up mixed media. My koffy is ready, hope your day is kind to you.
