I’ve added a topic under technology called Agriculture. Some aspects of it are an ongoing interest and I will be populating this topic both with new material as I come across it and some old material filed away. I added a music topic under ‘stuff’.
Bits and pieces are scattered through the site. I don’t have a way of tracking all the small points. If a topic interests you, check it out once a month for new stuff.

A hymn so widely sung has got to have a gospel presence so from the Gaithers:
