Caught one in our trap last week 3cm. So that’s one less to build a nest and kill more honey bees. We didn’t catch any last year.

@keenjersey.bsky.social great article in the JEP today on the subject of pensions. Rising elderly demographic, and a lower birth rate is a big concern. It’s a mystery why our Gov shelved the idea of an auto enrolling scheme. Madness!
If you are young, do something about your pension.

I find it a much better flavour, easy to grow, though takes a while, it survives my growing technique of bung it in, water now and then, cross fingers.
I’ve got new potatoes planted.

When I get sprouting garlic I plant it in the garden.
I find the home grown garlic much stronger.

Hopefully they don’t change it ! Still missing is any additional ferry to Guernsey, and the French Connection.

A bag of mushrooms on my doorstep. Yes I know, an unusual one. After investigation it was from our neighbour.

Two archaeologists in hi vis clothing, crouching excavating in a pit stepped down to 3m below ground level. Small white flags mark the position of artefacts. Beyond is metal fencing and field of green maize leaves.

Some used to when I was in banking years ago or a Jersey allowance.
Free private healthcare, non contrib pension schemes too. No idea what they do now.

I can’t understand why there are still parishes without kerbside recycling, including St.C one of the most populated.

Finished the new flooring. My nails are 😬, wishing my back, legs and arms belonged to someone’s else 🤣. According to my watch I’ve done 3mins exercise, it needs a DIY option!

THV Galatea off to the Minquiers, should have looked earlier and got a clear and better photo when she’d have been in the bay.

Here is a Q with the new ferry tender. I wonder if either will be able to offer sea-time to Ports of Jersey/Trinity House local sponsored cadets in maritime training? Or maybe even a job once qualified! (Temp wearing other hat).

At anchor in our bay is the Trinity House vessel Galatea. Expect come to fix all the nav aids that are unlit/ broken? Tho a bit odd why we are not using one of our own, guess making more money doing jobs elsewhere?

Ahh so amendment to an amendment whoopsie for the assembly, so useful having a Dep Bailiff or Bailiff in our assembly, oh and a retired one which also had the legal knowledge to raise the point.
