Thank you @ianpspurs I really should not be so grumpy.Hope the granola proves worth it. Sounds like the recipe I looked up but rejected - the coconut is a non starter for me. Reading all that fiddling about makes me content with boiled eggs, cheese and a hefty dollop of peanut butter. Have a good day even with all that fussing about.
That reminds me of really dangerous things l did as a child that my psrents didn't know about.Malcolm Guite's room definitely is lived in...I like it, and the train poem @ianpspurs
I love steams trains. As a child on the farm with my Grandparents, the coal board wanted some of the land for the mineral railway. So Grandad had to sell a part of my beloved apple orchard. I was heartbroken.
So when the railway was built, I used to climb down on to the tracks and see how far I could walk balancing on the tracks without falling off, then there was the 1/3 mile long tunnel. And my goal was to walk on the rails without falling off and before a steam train came... always managed it.
I couldn't hear the train, but felt the vibrations in the tracks...
I don't think anyone knew I did this...
Useless Information Section - As a lifelong horse person, I hate to see ragwort in grazing fields, while I do agree it has its place. The cinnabar moth caterpillars (the pretty yellow and black ones) also thrive on groundsel, which is safe in livestock terms and useful in ecology terms, so if anyone has to get rid of ragwort, I strongly suspect most of the invertebrate life it supports can happily find nutrition elsewhere. You didn't see much ragwort when I was a child - it has been a Notifiable Weed in Ministry terms, though I don't know if that still exists, therefore people got after it - but there was no lack of small creatures on other wild flowers.
Raggie is liver-toxic, but cud-chewers can survive it for longer, and of course you rarely see them living as long as horses!
That guy must have met my dad who was fond of saying you never see a pig up Addenbrookes. Tru datFBG this morning 5.6 not bad.
Ade and I were discussing a book he has been reading while he was here its title Nourishment what Animals Can Teach Us About Rediscovering Our Nutritional Wisdom written by Fred Provenza . In which he shows how animals have an innate ability to choose the foods that are best for there wellbeing and that we as humans seem to have lost that wisdom he is professor emeritus of behavioural ecology at Utah State University I am going to purchase a copy myself as it contains some fascinating incites.
Very Lou Reed - (we'll gloss over the Mexican Mud connection) rinse and repeat. Lyrics5.7 this morning.
Yesterday was such a good day.
Did the morning class and then spent 2 hours going over my notes and rewriting the bits that were illegible. The notes actually were not as bad as I thought they were.
Then a walk around the lovely park close to my venue then across the road for a relaxing meal , two coffees and relaxing and reading before the evening classes.

You may like this. Wicken itself is a very aspirational village with a wonderful 4x4 specialist garage, ideal for the care of venerable Range Rovers, which some people I know use.A very wise man your dad.
One of the points he makes in the book is that when cows bite off grass in the fields the plants release a liquid that contains carbon this is absorbed by the soil capturing carbon this does not happen when grass is cut so in actuality cows have a positive affect on carbon release outweighing the negative effect that comes from their other end.
Thank you Ian.Morning all from Soggy Bottom/L.A. where there is a fresher feeling to the day and Kamala isn't even the official candidate yet. Go girl. Busy day today with JKP having super sleuthed a dentist in Cambridge, meet up with a reclusive uncle at either a Starbucks or Gail's bakery - too woke for ya? - then on to my CT Scan to see just what lies beneath now. A very interesting possibility opened up yesterday which would be an extraordinary blessing if one can find the carpe diem gloves. Quick look around and no Truss/Kwarteng masterplan in sight. Have a stunning day if you wish although there is heaven in ordianry - Malcolm Guite for you @lindisfel - enjoy. @gennepher the closed captions work quite well. Have a sonnet as an added bonus. Don't spend too long staring into the mirror of Erised
Update: She has the numbers now
Actually most of the methane comes from the front end of the cow.A very wise man your dad.

Glad to have served God by sharing with you. Have a good day.Thank you Ian.
Ha the memory of steam and the smell of a hot engine. The shear joy of seeing raw power in actions. The new Scotsman has not been rebuilt to the purists specifications but it stirs one when it's pounding up the grade approaching Carlisle on the line from Appleby.

I doubt I will ever wnd in my fearlessness @ianpspursGlad you liked the Malcolm Guite link and that you survived the rail walking. That reads like a good adventure but as a parent/grandparent the idea scares me whatsitless. We are better off not knowing everything our loved ones do/did. Have a great day but maybe wind in the fearlessness.
Thank you @ianpspursGreat fbg and mileage sir. Thank you for sharing the art and photos. Your day yesterday sounds as though it fits the heaven in ordinary theme for the day perfectly. Enjoy today.
Thank you @gennepher - quite a few sets of interesting tiles
