Tuesday is Fareshare day

I got my office/admin jobs done pretty quickly. And I sorted and listed the Warburtons bread delivery pretty fast too, as it was very small this week, so it was quickly onto the database, ready to add to picking lists for the different food clubs, community cafes and so on. So I ended my shift doing some picking, which I haven’t done for over a year because my back is vulnerable.  I chose 3 small children’s projects, which just get fresh fruit and vegetables. One item was cherry tomatoes on the vine - 95% of which were perfect, but just the odd one was squishy. Took ages to pick them out of 8kg of tomatoes - at the end I was left with a little pyramid of rotten tomatoes- which made me think of the election:-)
I heard Jonathan Freedland speaking the other day about the continuing effects of the original Cameron/Osborne austerity - which has possibly been eclipsed by later horrors - especially in terms of the many deep cuts to benefits,  and essential public services. One thing he said which was telling is that there’s now more food banks than branches of McDonalds in this country.
Later I popped down to my allotment just to water - I’m always too tired after a morning at the warehouse to do anything physical. My next door plot has a kind of hedge of ox eye daisies which are a real picture at present. I liked this one, with its 3 visitors - one thick-legged flower beetle, and two of what my mum would have called Henry Rush - meaning a generic kind of a beetle, after the one in the House at Pooh Corner. 
I do like the spirals in the centre of the flower, which may or may not correspond to the Fibonacci sequence? Someone a bit more mathematical than me might know.
