He knows all about giving a 'masterclass in arrogance and betrayal'.

My windowsills are my 'grow light areas'. 🤗😉

Going to have to re-watch #TheWildlifeGardener as missed some of it getting dinner ready in time for #GardenersWorld BBC 2. 🤗

@jeremyandstormon5.bsky.social why does the lunchtime show #MattAllwright 'on 5' not have any posts to discuss on Bluesky? 🤷‍♀️

It's time Faridge's Tory seats were put to a public vote.

I think trainee nurses should have their training paid for by the state.

I'm surprised so many people can find jobs within commuting distance of their parents' home when their young.
Took me 15 years before I was able to find work that close to my family.
I thought living in house shares and bedsits (some really grotty ones) were part of being a young adult.

Thinking on your feet must be hard on your sole.

I've always used a bowl. I find the water runs out of baskets. 🤷‍♀️

I'm just waiting for someone to put up a 'No Swimming' sign next to a pothole. 😄

Bright yellow flowers with dark yellow centres of primula standing proud above a mountain of lush green leaves.

Three small purple primula flowers with yellow centres. Surrounded with leaves and overgrown grass.

Two small tree trunks. In the foreground branches with lots of buds ready to open in the next few days.

The Primulas/Primroses have done rather well this year. The yellow one has been flowering since before Christmas. Now waiting for the first blossom to start in my woodland area.

Note to self:
When cutting back bramble, leave the cuttings overnight in the garden....I ended up taking several ladybirds to the recycling centre today. When I opened the boot, they were all sitting on top of the bramble. I almost closed it & drove them all back home!

Small primrose amongst the grass. Pale yellow flower with dark yellow centre.

Same. I have 6 small clumps in my lawn. This is the only one flowering.

Book cover showing a hedgehog coming out of a small wooden box/house with green foliage surrounding it. 3 small, circular insert pictures from top right: butterfly, a Blue tit and a ladybird.

Currently reading & enjoying 'The Wildlife Gardener' by Kate Bradbury. Lots of ideas for providing food & shelter in gardens of all sizes. Beautiful photography by Julie Watson.

My sister asked if I wanted her to take my apple tree prunings to the recycling centre. I said 'nooooo - do you know how much they charge for sticks and canes at the garden centre? 😀

White cat with black patches above eyes and between ears. She has a black tail. Sitting in front of an open door to a garden with green foliage visible. She is looking back towards the room.

Are we related? 🤔☺️

Ahhh - *27th February* 🤦

Next Friday 27th March BBC 2:
7pm 'The Wild Gardener' (ep 1 of 2) looks interesting followed by
#GardenersWorld ep 3 of 4 compilation progs (1 & 2 were in Jan before Olympics messed us up)
It's likely the new GW series 'proper' will start Fri 13th March.
(I've been not amused too.) 😄

The Sandringham Estate belongs to the king.

Scotland does No Kings even better.
I am English with Scottish cousins. 😉

It would be 'king's evidence' in the UK. 😀

The UK has a king now.

Hopefully, once the CPS (UK) have finished with him, he might be compelled to face questions by DOJ (US).

Personally, I think the CPS is more effective because it is independent of the govt, unlike DOJ (at present).

According to the BBC news he was arrested for misconduct in public office (sharing sensitive info while a 'trade envoy) by 1 police force. The arrest has allowed them to search his home(s).

As far as I'm aware, they are not investigating him for abusing victims in the Epstein files.

We must have different stinging nettles in the UK. 🤷‍♀️

Dead nettle doesn't sting.
Also, if you pick a 'stinging nettle' by the stem from underneath the leaf - you don't get stung.
IYKYK 😉

There is nothing sustainable about a green desert (clipped lawn). 🤷‍♀️
Glad that common sense finally won.

"Imagine all the people, sharing all the world..."
I'm not 38! ☺️

I miss 'silver top' milk (UK) which was pasteurised but not homogenised. We used to fight over who got the cream on their cornflakes, when I was little.
For a treat we sometimes had 'gold top' which was really creamy (from the Channel Islands). 🤗
Now I have to have 'coloured water' ie skimmed milk 😒

We do have a (sarcastic) saying in the UK when we don't believe something - 'just saw a pig fly past the window'.
Now wondering if it was buffalo all along. 😄
