Sunnyish, coldish and calmish at the Castle this Monday
morn, I had a trip to the coast yesterday where it was Sunnyish, coldish and
calmish too, but it was nice to get a few lungfuls of ozone.
Very late today, had oodles of things to do including the
stale bread, gruel and his Maj’s food run dahn Tesco where prices are rising faster
than the Greek debt, the elbow is betterish, and the garden is still in need of
a complete fettle but it is too wet to attack despite the hose pipe ban.
Time is going to run out, observations of supernovae, or
exploding stars, found the movement of light indicated they were moving faster
than those nearer to the centre of the universe.
But the scientists claimed the accepted theory of an
opposite force to gravity, known as dark energy, was wrong, and said the
reality was that the growth of the universe was slowing.
Professor Jose Senovilla, Marc Mars and Raul Vera from the
University of the Basque Country and the University of Salamanca said the
deceleration of time was so gradual, it was imperceptible to humans.
Their proposal, published in the journal Physical Review D,
claimed dark energy does not exist and that time was winding down to the point
when it would finally grind to a halt long after the planet ceased to exist.
The slowing down of time will eventually mean everything
will appear to take place faster and faster until it eventually disappears.
Not this week then-shame I have so much to do...
Strict new dress codes have been introduced at the Royal
Ascot races with fascinators high on the hit-list.
Favoured by Royals and celebrities alike, these little hair
pieces have incurred the wrath of officials reacting to claims the standard of
dress has declined at their meet.
A particular stipulation is that fascinators are no longer
welcome in the royal enclosure where her Maj and other hanger ons
watch the races.
"Hats should be worn; a headpiece which has a base of
four inches (10 centimetres) or more in diameter is acceptable as an
alternative to a hat,'' the rules state.
Women are expected to wear skirts or dresses of "modest
length'' falling just above the knee or longer. Men must wear black or grey
morning dress with a waistcoat and tie, a black or grey top hat and black
shoes.
The rules away from the royal enclosure are less stringent
but women must still wear a hat or fascinator, and strapless or sheer-strap
tops are barred. Suits and ties are compulsory for men.
A team of specially trained dress code assistants will
reportedly be at the entry to help improve the standard of dress with
waistcoats, ties, pashminas and other items available for those not quite sartorial
enough.
Fuck orf........not a bit "fascinating"...
There is a new trend in cold stuff that comes in a cone-beetroot
or crab sorbet, sea-salted caramel ice cream, grilled sweet corn ice cream and
cigar-smoked caramel, grass, strawberry and hay, parsnip and wasabi or smoked
olive oil and black pepper, or if you
have really lost it-breast milk and absinthe.
Think I’ll stick to vanilla....
Burger King that well known US haute cuisine provider is set
to launch a summertime menu, featuring a heavy BBQ bias with treats such as
Memphis pulled-pork sandwich, Carolina barbecue sandwiches, Texas barbecue
sandwiches, frozen lemonade and sweet potato fries.
And to top it orf-vanilla BK soft serve ice cream, chocolate
fudge and caramel, garnished with a piece of thick-cut hardwood-smoked bacon
for dipping.
Not a vegetarian pud then.....
And finally:
Dozens of people stripped and cycled naked through the
Mexican city of Puebla Saturday to protest risks they face on the road.
"With "now you see me?" painted on their
bodies, participants also hoped to promote the benefits of exercise and biking
as an environmentally-friendly mode of transportation.
"We want to change things," said Arturo Rivera,
one of the riders.
The crowd gathered on one of the busiest streets of Puebla,
located 120 kilometres (75 miles) from the capital Mexico City, to start their
attention-grabbing stunt.
While some of the women wore bathing suits, most of the men
decided to bare it all as they pedalled through town in the rain.
Seems to go in cycles this nude bicycle riding thing
That’s it: I’m
orf to test some black bears
And today’s thought:
Where's the pummice stone Olympics
