Yesterday I was in Bristol for a BristolCon committee meeting (lots of exciting news about that to come soon). Afterwards I took the opportunity to do some shopping. Naturally some of this involved St. Nicholas’ Market and good food.
My first stop was the Trethowan’s Dairy stall for some more of their fine Gorwydd Caerphilly. I also picked up some Havod, which is a Welsh cheddar made from organic-certified unpastreurised milk. It is nowhere near as strong as Somerset cheddar, but it does taste rather good.
Next Saturday I am off to Caerdydd for the Great British Cheese Festival, which the Trethowan’s folks assure me will be quite spectacular. Expect more cheese blogging in a week’s time.
Before that, however, I have a new discovery to share. One aisle away from the cheese stall I found A Bar of Chocolate. They must be fairly new as there’s no way I would have missed them had I gone past before. Much to my delight, they sell Montezuma’s. They also sell much more besides; for example Divine, which is a Ghanaian Fairtrade collective. As I said on Twitter at the time, I suspect that bankruptcy looms for me in the very near future. There might well be such a thing as too much chocolate.
Not entirely Fully Focused on your post I know, but, on the chance that you might have missed this, following, linked article, being as busy as you are …
” Concerns were expressed by Lib Dems that the vetting system was particularly intrusive for transgender people, who would be asked to reveal their previous identities.
The federal conference committee vice chairman, Geoff Payne, was heckled as he claimed the gathering was “the same as it ever was” and he was also branded a “liar” as he said the committee had agreed a system with the Lib Dems’ gay and transgender group.
Just one person was refused access to the conference as a result of police advice. Lib Dem officials rejected police advice to bar another member.
The motion calls on Lib Dem MPs and ministers to question the current system of police guidance and to “reflect the rights of association and assembly and the internal democracy of all political parties”. ”
A teeny bit heated to say the least ..

I’ve been avoiding responding to your recent post on your further Shoulder Troubles …errrch! Wot did I say about the Perils of Pushing Your recovery and doing … TOO Much TOO SOON !!!!! ?????
Patience! Do the exercises, do gentle walks, avoid, UN-balanced luggage and …Wait for results. It will take at least 6 months, and maybe a year
Oh, forgot to mention but PAIN does throw off the ability to balance properly as you walk. I use this sort of ..sadly non NHS prescribed .. shoe inserts since the NHS prescribed equivalents of long ago were rubbish …

The idea is that they cause you to walk properly even when your pain detection system is a bit wobbly … forgive the Advanced Medical Terminology. .. ” a bit wobbly ” etc ..
Yes, yes, I know. If I have any health problems, they are ALL MY FAULT, because I am a BAD PERSON. Thank you.
You forgot the Extra’ A’ s in ‘ Bad Person ‘ ‘ BaaaaaD ‘ but otherwise that’s it. Yes.
I have just added you to the banned list for this blog.
Those cheses sound delicious! And the chocolate! I’ve had Devine and it really is heavenly. I firmly believe that there’s no such thing as too much cheese or chocolate–it’s the paying a lot for them that I can get too much of!
