  Those cuttings I took a couple of years ago of the clematis seem to have done rather well in the deep clay silt soil at the bottom of the allotment. #Gardening #Allotment

  “You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young." "Why, what did she tell you?" "I don't know, I didn't listen.” ~ Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy #comedy #quotes

  I've been trying to decide whether to buy a pannier top bag for my bike. Being an avid scavenger, I always keep my eye open. On the way back from Lidl I saw this little gem chucked in an old flower bed on the street. Good condition, practically new. Why do people chuck this kind of stuff away? Mine now. #Cycling #Life

  Last year an area adjacent to the neighbour's garage was cleared for him to use it. This year it has become filled with native self-seeded plants, forming a lovely wall of colour. A previously neglected corner brought back to looking pretty. #Gardening

  At the heart of it all, its always gas and oil (and maybe now rare minerals). The same ultra rich families, the same lobbyist, the same shareholders and monopolies. It's one big grift that is now panning out. That's why fascism is required, why ID verification is a thing, why resource wars will increase. Politics is just painting lipstick on the fish and gaslighting the gullible. We can do better, but not with the status quo. https://newrepublic.com/article/175488/atlas-shadowy-...

  Looking very verdant up there on the allotment. Mostly its the sodding buttercups. Nice flowers, I thought, let them grow I thought. Little bastards spread worse than wild strawberries! Time to get the mattock out. Might replace them in some areas with alchemilla, it self seeds all over the place but that's easier to manage than the buttercup shoots. #gardening #allotment

  Pics from the yarden as spring brings more growth. I've moved stuff on to better, bigger pots that I've found in back alleys and given the old pots and troughs to the local nursery. Its nice to have things clean, tidy and growing. In June this will be a forest. #Gardening

  @leavex@mastodon.social The UK government is eager to bring in online ID, a VPN ban etc, ostensibly to protect children online and yet the vast majority of MPs and gov officials continue to use X or FB, the very platforms guilty of promoting online harm. It's not about protecting anyone, if they had any morals they would leave.
