    RE: https://mas.to/@kt19weather/117003391704061533 I&#39;m a bit fed up with this hot weather now.

    I occasionally buy frozen food which is delivered in biodegradable packaging - sheepswool insulation in a compostable &quot;plastic&quot; bag. I&#39;ve been putting both on my compost heap as instructed. Today I started digging out compost from the old heap (I have a two heap rotation) and some of that packaging is still very much intact. I just fling it in the new heap for a second go, but is there any way to make it rot faster? #Garden #Compost

    I&#39;ve just set up a new topping up system for my pond, to replace the previous gravity drip feed from my water butts. A 12 V peristaltic pump in a 3D printed mount is installed inside the garage, with 4 mm hoses from the water butts and to the pond. A time switch runs it for ½ an hour every 3 hours, to be adjusted as needed. #Garden #Pond

    I&#39;m not following #EMFCamp posts, but a lot of people I follow are posting about it. I keep thinking it&#39;s the sort of thing I (or a younger me) might enjoy, but then I remember it&#39;s all about interacting with people.

    Just had probably my shortest ever dental appointment. I&amp;#39;m pleased that the dentist noticed my gums are looking much healthier than 6 months ago. I bought an electric toothbrush soon after the last check up and it has really made a difference. Less impressed that the dentist thought I was due for some X-rays, until I reminded him that he did a set last time. #Dentist

    Saw some broad-winged damselflies on my walk this afternoon, I think a male doing a courtship display to a female. #Damselfly #Nature https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calopterygidae
