We haven’t gone on many walks lately. Too wet! And all this rain has meant very little gardening for Beloved!
We had a good time with some visitors. We drove up to Brimham Rocks, which is quite a way from here, but it worked out really well. It was a lovely place and the sun shone enough to have a picnic. Beloved, of course, wanted to climb the rocks. Aarrgghh!
However, after a few climbs, he decided that that would do him for the day so I was much relieved. I took an accidentally-good photo. Well, good-ish. Of one of the rocks and discovered it had rather a pleasant tree growing out of it and looked quite nice.

6. Yoof of a different kind
… but of similar theme:
5. Andy also on the subject of yoof
Thank heavens the Odious Rag has hidden itself behind a pay wall. This is an example of the articles I’m missing out on. “Trying to get rid of noisy, food-stealing gulls is missing the point – it’s humans who are the pests.” Penned after great thought by a young lady barely out of her teens.
… I also made oblique reference to it in the review of that Christie novel 80. Much of my working life was spent training yoof … I keep a weather eye out for how it’s shaping up today … there are some green shoots for sure but the majority have still not woken up. Call this next bit allegorical or an example, whatever:
That’s one of the “kids” writing there. We don’t tend to deep dive with “our own” on the whole but maybe we should:
Classic case of what’s being done to yoof, and parents are always last to know, as kids keep things from them … didn’t we? But still, parents and others see signs. One NHS/Tavistock “Mengele” only was unsure whether to do it to her … she escaped. How many did not? And what of roba-tion on demand?
Steve included today: “When kids start to rebel against this, you know you’ve won.” Yes. But only if adults’ antennae are switched on, only if perceived as non-threatening … only if seeming to care, non-creepily. I’m thinking JK Rowling, though she has that pagan past. Still, it’s coming out about it all now and there are older pundits (female) championing the kids, supported by many male pundits on our side of politics from our keyboards … I don’t think males should get more involved on these things.

Pentecôte; Veni Sancte Spiritus:
a) Nearly 100 km on foot between Paris and Chartres for the 19,000 pilgrims.
b) Beef bourguignon, coq au vin, ratatouille, quiche Lorraine… Are these staples of French gastronomy doomed to disappear from our plates?
c) It is 10 years when the majority of the French were saying, “I am Charley”.

1. AnonCon is in list three in the Brolls
He does not so much do posts as a monologue, so it requires scrolling down. Part of his analysis of LA is:
Weeeeelllll … maybe. We’re all going to analyse and hopefully you’ll post, Redacted might be non-cryptic enough to be able to read in plain. Me? I keep coming back to two things … military tactics on our part, turning up the heat on Newsom and clowns, the Demonrats themselves …
… or in an apocalyptic analysis, he Da Anti-C (remembering that that guy gives off very Nioziist vibes … see Mark Matis at Jstack) …
… or in a halfway analysis, it’s as AnonCon puts it.
