A delicious light salad for supper tonight. Roasted peaches, Serrano ham, whipped feta, basil and candied chillies.

Loving the way that the garden is developing, and that the pond is not only teeming with life but that it's providing a source of drinking water water to bees, wasps and hoverflies.

I spotted some blanket weed choking the waterlily, so I hoiked it out. Turned out there was quite a lot more than I thought. I've just spent 40 minutes picking through it to release trapped tadpoles. Not quite how I planned to spend the evening!

I've had to add some more logs and moss to the pond edges to help the emerging froglets after I found a couple desiccated on the hot stones 😳

The snails have had babies! There are so many creatures in the pond now. It's very exciting. I've no idea what the nymphs are...

The pondskaters have had babies, and some of the tadpoles have their front legs. It's all terribly exciting!! 🥰🥰😊

Ukrainian friends – would you like to play cricket for the Ukraine Charity XI? 🇺🇦🏏 We need a couple more players to join our squad in Warsaw, Poland, for the Euro T20 Cup (10-13 July), as we raise money for Ukrainian causes. Please spread the word – and tag Ukraine's next international cricketers!

@eatingonlyapples.bsky.social I keep forgetting to tell you that Lemmy loves purr pops, especially the chicken ones which fortunately I can get in Sainsburys. He even gives my hand a little head butt when I break one up for him 🥰

‘Alright, so do me a picture with a couple of knights with horses fighting.’ ‘Bit odd, but okay.’ *later* ‘Have you done that picture with the knights on horseback fighting yet?’ ‘Oh yeah, actually that does make more sense.’ ‘Than what?’ ‘...nothing.’ ‘Than WHAT?’

Getting the right side of a very stiff gin and tonic after spending another frustrating day trying unsuccessfully to resolve my mother's meter issues with #UtilitiesWarehouse and #Calisen.
