This is worth it.

There are lots of lovely Seville oranges in the shops at the moment, as there usually are in January.

Over the next few days I shall relax by making Marmalade.

Last year's batch was a little runny, so I am using a different recipe and am adding a little extra Pectin.

Home made marmalade?

Yum yum.

JD = Dinosaur + Ostrich

I have just been likened in a previous blogpost to an interesting Chimaera. A combination of a Dinosaur and an Ostrich.

An interesting metaphor indeed, and certainly contains a grain of truth.

The issue for me is whether I continue to express opinions that a critical of the whole commissioning process as a front for cash control, blame shifting and creeping privatisation; or whether I accept that this is the only show in town, and knuckle down and get on with it.

I shall probably do both, and give my colleagues who are leading this process full support.
