I'm willing to admit I *may* have grown too many poppies.. 😏 #bloomscrolling

“I’ve never seen so many drawings of penises,” said one seasoned Labour campaigner after examining spoiled ballot papers."

Apple tree. 🧵 #bloomscrolling My dad planted an apple tree in their garden when they moved into the bungalow. It wasn't big, but it did produce some nice apples. Dad passed in 2014, mum in 2019. We moved in to look after the house while it was on the market.. 1/6

I'm not usually a fan of tulips. But these are bloody gorgeous. I have no idea what they're called as I lost the label, I think they're peony tulips. Got them from B&Q last year. Smell great too! #bloomscrolling #tulips

Zero regrets about moving to Scotland on this fine morning.

In company of #whippets ❤️

Decided to try and see if I can work in the garden using the iPad Pro. Oh yessss. Paperlike screen protector takes the glare off and the Magic Keyboard is so nice to use. FTR I would probably never have splashed out for any of this. It was a gift from a few years ago.

FFS sake people. It shows you the alt text icon when you upload. If you can't be bothered to type. Just link to the fucking thing.

Lindsey Graham trending, is he d... oh DEAR GOD. You just couldn't make this shit up.

Sigh. @ninjabeaver.social did some small stints in retail on GM. She saw a lot of this. #Shityouleavebehind #Supermarkets #Retail #Customers #Uk

Around Christmas time, my war on you is not over (even if you want it) and Santa knows when you've been bad... #Shityouleavebehind #Retail #Customers #Supermarkets

Thing is. I don't really know what Fage is for. All I know is that it can't go back into the chilled section. BECAUSE IT'S BEEN OUT TOO BLOODY LONG! #Shityouleavebehind #Retail #Supermarkets #Customers

Yeah. I would have liked to have driven a few stakes through customers hearts. #Shityouleavebehind #Customers #Retail #supermarkets

At least it was left neatly... #Shityouleavebehind #Retail #Supermarkets #Customers

yeh... I think two lupins in this pot may have been one lupin too many... 🤣

This is excellent - & jaw dropping: martinrobbins.substack.com/p/i-visit-br... HT @ukcivilservant.bsky.social

Just dug out my Teslacigs Steampunk 120 Nano after years of not using it, because both my Geekvape mods have broken and damn... it just works. So bloody heavy though..

Merlin app is insisting the bird I see is a common sandpiper, but I dunno. It doesn't look like a wading bird and it's much, much smaller than the oystercatcher. I was convinced it was a sand martin but now I don't know...

Christ I'm old. My can of Coke Zero has "My Bae" on it and I have no clue what that means. Had to google it. 😶

Just dumped 500ml of neem/garlic/horticultural soap spray on my lemon and apple trees. I will win this. But by his noodly appendage, I smell bad right now. Why isn't it possible to get upwind of this stuff? FU aphids & scale. Sorry ants, find something else to eat.

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

Living less than 100yds from the river Esk has it's benefits. I'm sitting here working at my desk and I can hear oystercatchers and gulls peeping & shrieking overhead. Absolutely love it here. #Langholm #ScottishBorders

Nova (left) has the longest snoot I've ever seen on a whippet. She doesn't get it from her mum (right). Miah is a lot more compact, shorter in the leg and body despite them only being 2lb apart in weight. #Whippets #SkyHounds #DogsOfBluesky

I'd quite like to amoeba trucktruffle marry him myself.

Miah and Nova sunning themselves in the back porch. 🥰 Miah is looking her age a little, she tends to when she's asleep. #Whippets #SkyHounds #DogsOfBluesky

Love this description of the Sheerwater Seedling rowan tree (the type we have): "You'll be beating the wildlife off with a stick. Bees love the fluffy white flowers in April-May and birds enjoy the deep orange autumn berries" Hope so! We had to replant it last year to improve the root flare. 1/2

Gold seems to be doing well. That's good, maybe the administration can pry some of that gold off the walls of the oval office if they get desperate.. ...oh.

I see that Eric Adams is trying to give the administration exactly what they paid for.

Hey @bsky.app I get that verification is good, but what was the point in me buying a domain and connecting it to my account if a) my previous bsky.social handle was subsequently taken by someone else, and b) the verification you now offer is never going to happen for me?

I don't really do religion, but Pope Francis struck me as a decent man and certainly more progressive than previous ones. Certainly better than Ratzinger. Which wouldn't take much, to be fair.
