to one bowl of scorching porridge add

chopped banana

honey

half a teaspoon of powdered ginger

blowing on the porridge will cool it and the tongue

bananas by cezanne

if mrs cezanne had bought gold plates the whole history of modern art might have taken a different direction

st.laurance's church, hawkhurst, kent

a curiosity ... all the church windows were blown out when a german flying bomb exploded in the churchyard in 1944 ... the restoration was celebrated in 1957 & so this church has a posh set of big nearly new windows, though i didn't find them attractive as the main theme seemed to be heraldic ... oh, the agonies of empire ... and the figures, which i haven't bothered to photograph, seemed to lack animation & emotion, neither of which any religion can really do without

i experimented with this one this morning, but it didn't taste of much

My son was killed while laughing at some jest. I would I knew

What it was, and it might serve me in a time when jests are few.
