So Carillion has gone bust - a familiar story of an obsession with size, takeovers driven by boardroom egos, the lure of the City and good old government incompetence. That's just how British manufacturing declined and now it's spreading to the construction / services industry. It's yet another kick in the backside for privatisation where a service has to be provided with a profit element. The British taxpayer will now step in to save the bits it relies on - another familiar story. I wonder how many MPs have shares in Carillion.
I resurrected my kefir grains over the weekend; they'd been frozen for at least 4 months, if not more, and produced an excellent batch of kefir 1st time - so freezing definitely works as a means of preservation. They're back in the freezer again now and probably won't brought out again for at least 6 months.

Why do socks come off when you wear wellingtons? Perhaps I need to invest in some long socks - could be why you see farmers with their socks rolled over the tops of the wellies?
Old people and recycling - what is it about recycling that they don't get? Open Hay's dad's bin and it's crammed with stuff that should go into the recycling bins, but no. It's the same with our elderly neighbours. Having lived though the war you'd think they'd gravitate to recycling quite easily, but it's almost as if they're saying; " I've done my bit."
