#Apples
So many apples this year people are giving them away.
If you ever find a Ten Commandments, slice it crossways & count the red spots around the core. There should be 10. This disposition of seeds in the core is supposed to be a method of divination in any apple. Does anyone know how?

A Ten Commandments apple cut crossways to reveal 10 red blotches in the white/yelowish flesh, around the five pointed core.

My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already.
It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.

T-shirt Tan by Exale Brewery at their Three Colts Tavern PH in Bethnal Green. I am not really much of a craft beer drinker, but this caught my eye. I thought it was quite decent.

SpAd has a second meaning, in politics. Some might say that is a horror story too
