Any Human Heart, William Boyd.
Loving it so far. It was a recommendation from the author (and bookshop owner) Shaun Bythell's book, Confessions of a bookseller. Which is also excellent and diary based.
Morning pepper heads. I need your advice on a Jalapeño plant.
I grew a plant on a windowsill earlier in the summer in direct sun and it struggled. Mrs CBH lobbed it outside in slightly less direct sunlight and it subsequently thrived.
It's now a foot tall and covered in flowers. I assume...
Not sure I agree. The circumstances of a close offside call tend to mean that the defenders will be exposed and will have to be exerting themselves to get back into position or to block/tackle. That's when injuries typically occur, not when walking on to the pitch.
Agreed. I didn't mean physically though. In the polls she took and early lead but she hasn't managed to keep up the momentum. It's eased back very slightly in fact (she had a 3.7% lead in the poll of polls in late August).
I definitely get the feeling that since Harris entered the race, her lead has slightly eroded. It feels to me like she's lost momentum - as many predicted she would. How does she inject energy into the last few weeks of thr campaign? That will be critical.
