SEEING RED

900,000 Ceramic poppies each individually hand planted around the Tower of London to pay tribute to the  British and commonwealth fallen heroes  the first of the poppies was planted in June and the last of the poppies will be placed in the ground on November the 11th which is Armistice day , later the poppies  will be sold of for £25 each raising over 11 million pounds for charity . I guess you can't argue with the gesture but it still  makes you think the price that was ultimately paid by a lot of people who should not have died it was not worth it then it is not worth it now yet the killing and dying continues we humans will never learn and we humans will never live together in world peace.
My sister has gone to London to see the poppies for her self and some other London sites .

My son had his face painted by his girlfriend Charlotte for Halloween they went drinking around the centre of York and apparently got some good comments it took her quite awhile to do their make up and face painting i am presuming she applied her own ,  i didn't know my son could sit still longer enough.

We got invited to a bonfire party we cooked a big pot of Chilli to take round we mad it a bit too watery but it was edible even if it was not too spicy. the host had cooked jacket potatoes and pork pies it was windy and was getting colder as the evening got darker thank god for Charlie's bottle of 50 year old malt whiskey and Rogers honey and strawberry mead made by monks in their monastery in Portugal had a right kick to it , would strip paint .

SUNDAY
Went to a farm food shop called Blacker Hall Farm i bought a pulled pork chilli wrap , hand made pork sausages and 100% meatballs and two chicken parcels all sourced from the finest local produce we also bought stake and ale pie and a couple of quiches .

Went to visit our friend Erin she is laid up in hospital she as dislocated her ankle at the gym doing jump squats and it is quite bad injury she is flying to Australia in six weeks time and it is highly likely she won't be allowed to fly needless to say she is pissed off.
