@thebeeguy.bsky.social Could I have some advice on what to give distressed bumblebees? My garden is full of bumblebees (& some masonry bees) who love the buddleia, snapdragons, lavender & foxgloves. Luckily I was in the garden today when I heard a buzzing from underneath a chair......

That'll help a lot. Doctors will retire early, or move out of the NHS and youngsters will fail to join. There's already a brain drain to places like Australia.

Oh my! A bumblebee just crawled across my hand & up my arm. Quite a strange feeling!

Said the words to my partner today: "we need to maintain good cutlery draw discipline." Not sure either of us were ever expecting to hear those words when we got married.

The extra cost of being disabled in the UK will rise by almost 12% in five years, says Scope. That means having to find another £15k a year just to live at the same standard as non-disabled people. But MPs should cut PIP tomorrow, right? Seems logical and humane? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Today is one of those days where the 'poonami' nappy adverts on tv have irritated me. Sorry new parents, but a littlie's poonami pales in comparison to those here! How we don't have permanent cholera & dysentery is a complete miracle!

Well, @michaelhogan100.bsky.social, I might just have found 'my' Glastonbury. I might even stay overnight in a tent for this & not be a Taunton DayGirl!!

Now playing: Amy Winehouse - Back to Black. When Amy left the universe we lost one our best female vocal talents, it’s tragic but we are left with her beautiful music. #NowPlaying #NowSpinning #VinylSky #Vinyl #RecordCollecting #AmyWinehouse #BacktoBlack #Jazz #Music #MusicSky #Album #LP

The Emma Grundy Paradox - the kind of girl who writes to men in prison isn’t good enough for her son. Also, her son is the man in prison. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #TheArchers

Bloody Hell! We've got the worst of all possible weather here right now - overcast so no sun and not particularly high temps atm (actually that is rather nice!) but horrendous humidity. I'm on my third tee-shirt this morning already!! Absolutely dripping!!
