Intrigued to read that the Dublin Vegetarian Association in the early 20th century was run by a Mr Ham, Mrs Joynt and Mrs Hogg.

The Spuria Iris aurea is having a bumper year. It likes a retentive soil and sun. These are almost five feet high.🌱

I have my beautiful home-made haggis in the pan. I have bashed some neeps and buttered them well. I made the tatties likewise. Most importantly of all, we have a dram of whisky in hand, and Rabbie's poems reciting, before we set forth the plates o' puddin' Slàinte Mhath to all #BurnsNight

Why does Rees-Mogg avoid vegetables? Why does Nanny not enforce greens? Its a mystery.

Snow is falling here 😕 Mild and dry weather all through autumn, and now suddenly its snow? I can't recall when we last had snow in November this far south. Usually its not until January, if at all. Not even had an air frost yet.

So many new people arriving here. I'm searching though the crowds in vain for Simon Schama, Mary Beard, Hannah Fry, and a bunch of architecture groups and folks I follow in that other place.

Today’s poem is called ‘An Invention of Collective Nouns’.
An Invention of Collective Nouns
 
A reckoning of spreadsheets.
A distraction of smartphones.
A prattle of podcasts.
A mispronunciation of scones.
 
A clique of photographers.
A heard of precedents.
An enjambment of
poets. A grope of presidents.
 
A pile of haemorrhoids.
A bunion of personal trainers.
A bout of estimations.
A condescension of mansplainers.
 
A stroke of geniuses.
A spot of adolescents.
An embarrassment of Richards.
A collection [crossed out] correction of pedants.

Dear God, I don't believe you are real. If I'm wrong, here is your chance to prove it. You still have until January to provoke a major cardiac incident in you-know-who. Otherwise, we shall Abandon Hope in 2025.

Browsing the spirits shelves at supermarket in search of Kirsch for cooking, I spy some strange items. I don't drink spirits, so these new outlandish flavours are unfamiliar. Marmalade Vodka? Is that for breakfast? What to make of Pineapple Rum, Melon Gin, or Raspberry Tequila Cream Liqueur?
