Default Nice day to garden

I was watching Gardening Today, and the poor BBC was trying to be PC,
and sent a black gardener out into the sticks to a village called
Potterne, Wilts. She was there to advise on a community garden. All the
other people there were white. I should think the black gardener was
the only black within a 40-Miles radius. I say that because Bristol is
40 miles from Potterne.

Gem of a day in Whitstable today. One of those late summer days where it isn't too warm in clear direct sunlight (but enough to burn...) - I do enjoy a late summer's day.

Likewise in Indy. Cool for the time of year with a max of 24C on Friday and blue skies throughout. Perfect. Expecting a lovely sunny and non-racist day Saturday with a high near 26C. Meanwhile one feels and fears for eastern and south-eastern Texas. There'll be catastrophic flooding and Cat 2-3 winds.

Ah, the BBC. I'd expect nothing less from that biased, corrupt, anti-British organisation.

Clouded over now in Haytor but very warm, max. 21C. Scorching in the sun
earlier, had to go back inside.

I've had a non-racist day too, walking on the Malvern Hills. And this
despite a few black people being around. Egginton probably
thinks they shouldn't be alowed up there or something. And yes, the sun
is still strong enough to burn, my face and neck have turned rather red
despite it not even being continuous sun, 'sunny periods' probably
nearer the mark. Still excellent walking weather, very warm in the sun
but not too hot.

And we, in turn, would expect nothing less from you than your sour racist bile.
A sunny day here but now clouded over with 8/8 rather thick As.

I think blacks or anyone can go wherever they like. However, a black
face in amongst a crowd of white people shows up as its different, and
vice versa.

If I held up nine white cards and one black card and asked, “Was there a
different one?”. Anyone would have to be blind to miss the difference.

We are not all the same.

It's a colourful world!

Waste of time trying to interact with a turd. You only end up dirty and smelly.
