On Monday I met up with my college friends - Tim &amp; Wid and Jon and Susie at <a href="https://hepworthwakefield.org/whats-on/anthony-mccall-solid-light-works/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hepworth Gallery</a> in Wakefield. Most of the time was spent in the cafe catching up with everyone's news followed by a stroll around the latest exhibit which was a series of drawings concentrating on geometric shapes, particularly ellipses. This was continued with a light show in dark spaces and with the use of water vapour it outlined the light. It was possible to walk through the light thereby disrupting the images.

Tuesday and Wednesday I was running U3A groups - IT Workshop and my Ethics group. This month we were discussing the issues around free speech and the boundaries between what might be free speech and what might be considered offensive. Who and how people might be offended is an interesting subject for debate. We considered the realms of being politically correct to the point we censor what we say. On Wednesday afternoon I headed over to Mary's and we had curry out at <a href="https://www.gurkha91bourne.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gurkha 91</a>. The service was excellent and we were made to feel as though we were royalty. I cannot remember the last time I had such good service in a restaurant - attentive but not overbearing.

I started forcing the rhubarb many weeks ago and the bright pink stems are looking very good. I think there might be a rhubarb crumble at some time over the Easter weekend.

The shredded branches eventually make good compost.

I plan to spend more time in the garden over the Bank holiday, weather permitting.
