I did a little troubleshooting and am embarrassed to say that the issue was that I had set my browser (Firefox) to night mode. When I turned it off everything brightened up. (I had tried night mode to see if it would extend my battery life.)

Ever found a complete clay pipe? I recall a master, when at school in Lincolnshire, having us traipse up and down freshly ploughed fields on abandoned village sites looking for similar treasures.

No, that would be my Holy Grail. When I find one of these little pieces of pipe, I imagine the farmer knocking out his pipe and breaking it, cursing and then having to get another. They obviously used to smoke a lot, judging by the amount out there in the fields.

Our granddaughter learning to ride. For anyone ready to panic, the bike is not yet running. She was coasting down a very slight grade at a parking lot for a club we belong to which is currently closed. My son is just behind her ready to pounce at the first wobble.

Thanks RoseCat for the hint!

I seem to recall that in theory they would have bought each pipe like a packet of cigarettes, knowing they didn’t last long - a throwaway item. Interesting to jog the memories of walking up and down Lincolnshire fields in around 1970!

Who’s going to panic? Fire it up and show her some wheelies - you know you want to...
