Well, I have managed 8 gallons of cider this year, but have collected hardly any fungi and no chestnuts at all! Where does the time go? Like everyone else working in the public sector life in the workplace is no bed of roses these days. Roll on retirement, in 7 months from now I can start to reduce my hours. I cant wait. In my working life the past year has been amoung the most difficult. Its no way to end a career, no way at all, but it seems that the days when someone who was leaving was shown any appreciation and thanked are a thing of the past. What a sad indictement of society. It all changed with Thatcher, I remember a time when staff were valued, it seems a very long time ago. Like a lot of people I just wish I could pack it all in.

my wooden thing has gone funny!
I am a bit worried about my wooden fruit crusher. A useful tool but it seems to be suffering from the pounding and has started to split…..the nurse in me thinks this is very unhygenic,so its going into some bleach ( sorry folks I KNOW its not very green but I would rather be ungreen than down with food poisoning) I have had it drummed into me that wood is not a good thing to use in kitchens…too many germs…hard to make clean, traps germs ..you name it…on the other hand it IS useful, so I may try sticking it together and bleaching it regularly…If anyone knows where I can get another one of these in the UK I would be grateful, I looked on Ebay etc but couldnt find one.
A germ trap if ever I saw one!
