Late ol summer or what? Up to 21 yesterday and a balmy 18 overnight, is there hope for a berry crop yet?

Alas on the down side; when walking to wind ward [and the wind was stiff] the black flies hovered around your exposed skin, there was little relief against the wind either, for as soon as you took a dip in the road or were in the lee of a structure they would be all over you.

We chowed down into the first of the frozen section of the new food order last evening.

A nice medium rare prime rib roast served with fresh asparagus [relatively speaking], garlic mashed potatoes, yam chips, horseradish sauce with a beer reduction. No way can purchase meat of that quality or that price in any store locally, that’s a shame alas that is the reality. Way to go Terrington Consumers Co Op.

Not exactly omophagists are we?

Can you believe the effrontery of these oink oink politicians? OK you can.

While the House of Assembly Members Compensation Review Committee goes through the sham of holding public consultations as to member’s salaries they quietly, and assumedly to all their surprises, received an 8% increase in July.
Turns out the MHA’s are entitled to the same increase as public servants, some thing like “we are entitled to our entitlements” in it?
This reeks of hypocrisy, MHA’s riding on the backs of union workers, who have to fight tooth and nail and go on strike and be the receiver of all the rhetoric and hyperbole from the same government and their leader who did not know they had received the 8% increase.

Maybe it’s just me but it sort of has similarities with Jim Walsh claiming, in court, that he did not know what all those multi thousand dollar cheques were for but he deposited them into his personal bank account anyway.
