more seeds, Wellcome Collection (and UK Government challenges)

Sadly (but not unexpectedly) I'm behind on my allotment - last few days I've
Planted :-

Broad beans French Beans and Peas (in seed trays)

Tomatoes, Cucumbers and Peppers (in propagating trays)

Asparagus - takes time

Also managed to get some potatoes in - and 2 more Asparagus Crowns.

Rows of Potatoes - Main crop

Seed trays

Rather pleasingly (after several years) I finally  have two spears of almost acceptably dimension-ed  asparagus.

Always Wellcome

Wellcome Collection   

Antony Gormley 'Living on the ceiling'

I popped into the Wellcome Collection earlier in the week - interesting the way exhibitions held their look at the collision of Health and Art - current one (free too) is titled Somewhere in Between.

It includes about 6 artists each collaborating with an associated 'expert'.

I liked the  amazing photographs of  Bulls that are bred specifically (and scientifically)  to  produce best (economic) returns for Agricultural industry.

The Photographs show something of the genetic  efforts involved by having models of these on the bulls backs - truly amazing looking animals but perhaps rather worrying that we're playing a potentially dangerous game (in many ways).

[Great cafe and bookshop too]

Sire - Amazing photographs from Maria McKinney in Wellcome Collection  showing powerful beasts 

UK Government

If the UK's  Political class wonders why they are held in such low esteem by much of the populous  perhaps it should examine how they answer questions (or dodge them) and consider what the consequences of being direct and honest could lead to.

There used to be a joke (an old one)  about untruths from those in power..

How can you tell when a politician is lying?

Easy their lips are moving (boom- boom)

Since Bill Clinton's rebuttal over his behaviour with an White House Intern

'I did not have sex with that woman'  we 're perhaps more suspicious of the true meaning of what's said, the reports around and analysis of the current UK Home secretary's statements relating to those (once denied) immigration targets have meant that we've had the possibility of what is technically true been used to obfuscate the real heart of the deception that's being foisted on us.

There's a school of thought that says either Amber Rudd didn't know what was going on in her department (not up to the job) or that she knew and has now been caught out (perhaps worse) - It doesn't seem too  unreasonable to five some credence to the idea that Theresa May would not wish to see Amber Rudd on the backbenches as there could be some damage to be revealed around what went on when Theresa May signalled her strong desire to see UK immigration figures fall.

Monday looks like yet another critical day for the stability of the current PM and her Home secretary.
