I'm 172cm (5 foot 8?) and because I like diy and outdoor work it's been a great advantage. Mostly tools etc are the right size for the average bloke and for me. Dresses less so especially as I have slightly broad shoulders. And pants are often too short.

That first pic, poor things! My chooks always slept on a fake tree perch outside (they had an excellent cosy house). Even in the wildest weather. Amazing how birds hang on.

Press Association comment from Quakers in Britain

This evening, for the second time in a year, the Metropolitan Police raided a Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists who were meeting there on the grounds that they were conspiring to commit a criminal act.

The room in Westminster Quaker Meeting House was let to Take Back Power to hold nonviolent direct action training. Quakers support the principle of nonviolent direct action, which aims to protest without harming people.

Oliver Robertson, head of witness and worship for Quakers in Britain, said:

β€œFor Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life. 
β€œWhilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent.

β€œThat this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.”

Statement from @quaker.org.uk about tonight's police raid on Westminster Meeting House. Guys, I don't think they're buying the Met's line about it all being a cover for plotting "mass shoplifting"

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

I've nearly finished weaving a scarf for my mum but I'm already planning another project, a toy easter Bilby for each grandkid. There's only 5 grandkids and according to the "Splendid Soft Toy Book" any animal pattern can be created! Challenge accepted πŸ˜‚.

Australian supermarket giant reins in AI assistant claiming to be human One person says Olive "kept claiming to be a real person and started talking about its memories of its mother and her angry voice".

I think we need laws that make it mandatory to state when you're talking or messaging with AI.
