Isilme and that time of year again (part two of two)

Part one is here

I started picking again and after a little while a few chirps started up. Then they flew into next door’s rhododendron bush and a huge chirping ensued. I think they were passing on to their neighbours the horrors of their berries being picked.

Beloved then came out to help me. He has a gadget. An old fashioned berry picker that his brother gave him as a birthday present one year. It worked well and we ended up with six punnets of blackcurrants. Yay! I’ll get some more tomorrow maybe….if the sparrows leave me any.

Meanwhile, in the back garden we have the mangetout and it has been very good. Half a large mixing bowl full of pods! We immediately had some with our meal. The apples are extremely plentiful this year and our poor eating apple is groaning. We had to prop up one of the branches. We will thin out the apples of course, but even so it will be heavy when they grow bigger.

The courgettes are puny and small at the moment but in a little while we’ll be collecting those. See those little apples under the courgettes? That’s because the courgettes are under the Bramley apple tree! It’s shedding its own little apples from the overwhelmed branches.

The broccoli is coming along well too. The creeping Jenny and the sedum are taking over the path by the raspberries, but we quite like that.  

 

Naturally, the narrator skips over this bowdlerised account in his tour of the area:

2. DAD at 1095

a) This news has sent shockwaves through Catholic circles attached to Church tradition: documents reveal that the Vatican deliberately lied in order to implement a reform drastically restricting access to the traditional Mass and thus stigmatising thousands of faithful around the world.

b) France. In the first five months of the year, 322 anti-Christian acts were recorded, compared to 284 in 2024 over the same period last year, the ministry announced on Thursday.

c) With some 640 bikes disappearing from its radars each week, Agemob, the public organization that manages Vélib’ shared bikes in the Paris region, is “warning” that the level of vandalism is “three times higher” than normal.

d) There will be more climate bollocks from the BBC. The BBC Complaints Director Colin Tregear has enrolled on the green grooming course run as a six-month sabbatical by the Oxford Climate Journalism Network (OCJN).

e) MP Zarah Sultana who was ousted from Labour announces she is starting new political party with Jeremy Corbyn.

JH: DAD got in before me with the scoop. ☺️

I’d encourage all Labour MPs to resign and form far left commie factions … the more the merrier.

Steve corner … firstly at 1095

• Much more.

JH: Generally, the items not pointed to above but appearing at 1095 include those we’ve already had or which have now been quickly overtaken by subsequent events or were opinion pieces … these are just signposts above.

Steve’s Charlie Kirk quote

One of the publishing firms over in Germany is Bertelsmann, who are pure illumined. Years ago, in the time of the old blog N.O., I ran a piece by blogger Prodicus on the filth sent to every state medical clinic in brochure form, saying it was not normal for parents not to sexually molest their toddler.

Obviously it did not say “molest” but we showed a sshot and it certainly urged parents to pleasure the child … no more need be said by us. By an amazing coincidence, they were connected with a family called Solvay who were very much connected to the child incidents detailed in my post on The Missing Children. That blog, OoL, not long after disappeared, I’m not claiming solely due to that post.

That in turn was connected to a trial in Belgium on child trafficking, involving Euro royal houses. Also connected was Etienne Davignon who was asked why they were so effective … he replied because they were good talent spotters.

Here was their Young Global Leaders “community”:

There were obvious names connected … Clinton, Mandela … but also not so well known, e.g. Kemi Badenough and Yaccarino at X. And the obvious question … just who is Mr. Big behind it all?

Oh, and two musicians involved were Yo Yo Ma and Yehudi Menuhin.
