Those average earnings are really just unrealistic statistics, with the removal of sick pay, zero hours contracts and other maneuvers , minimum wage has increased (which is significant I admit) but it is taken away in other ways; including the lack of increases in personal tax allowance....

The Gnomes clear it so they can see out from underneath....

I don't think either of my greenhouses ever look that tidy!

One of my favourite houseplants, have a pink flowering as well as red, and their babies are given away on a regular basis....

If they do, (expect so), I would imagine that the quantities are so low it doesn't really matter. There is some question about whether Juglone really affects plants anyway....

There's no reason to be embarrassed about putting your music "out there", wherever it is, if you are happy with the piece you publish.

Being eaten is unusual for Snowdrops, depends how desperate the creature are... Slugs and snails will also eat bulbs. The lateness may be microclimate - I have the same variety of bulb (narcissus) in different parts of the garden and they flower at different times.

Composting is best, but you can bury them in the soil to decompose. Smashed, they can be a good slug deterrent, like broken sea shells, sharp gravel etc. I wouldn't recommend leaving them whole on the surface, unless you want to encourage the various insects that will use them as a temporary home.

Just listening to on Bandcamp, nice one. Only thing is the tracks should be longer for cycling to! I need more than 4 mins for recuperation too mind 🙃

Know the feeling; my studio still isn't straight after rearranging it last summer....

No, you're not. Although in one case, for me, the label has faded during the bad weather...

You needed to write 2 parts to this music, so it could then have a bridge in it.... 😜

Mine just arrived, now the serious stuff of actually deciding where/when to sow.... 😊

Reminded me of a time I was playing with a drum machine at a music show; one of the stand staff came along and stopped my sequence, (without asking), as the headphone system was shared and he wanted to show someone another one on the same display. Needless to say I didn't buy one....

You forgotten the Hugh Jackson era?! 0-16!

And that talent totally wasted in an organisation that can't do offence on any consistent basis. I did finally give up on them after letting go of Baker Mayfield, and the insane contract they gave his replacement.... Been waiting since the Kosar era!

You've prodded me to try synthesising my own drums again, used to do it a lot.

I've run a long way from it as so used to using the MPCs as they are! Be interested to know what you've liked, is the changes to the way programs work ok? Has it been stable? (i.e. not crashed).

Sure it's not a Skimmia? Realise I'm only seeing a piccy of part of it....

Congrats on some excellent videos, (I haven't watched half of what you say you have produced as I didn't know!), and deciding to stop on your own terms. I hope whatever pans out for you is successful, and you enjoy family life.

I imagine you know, but the Juno mission spacecraft went to have a nosey at these moons, incredibly successful. Now in the "extended phase" of the mission, i.e. we'll see how long it keeps working.....

This was, by far, the best growing Snowdrop in our previous garden in Oxfordshire. Does well now much further North in the UK, but so do several others 😁

Spotify has lost millons, and has never been profitable, probably not just that though....

Sign of warmer weather..... I've had this with a couple of perennials in my garden, but also had winter flowering hellebores flowering in the late spring/summer, less definite seasons....

I discovered a great way to get my wife to eat sprouts, I chop them up in stir fries, much easier than cutting up cabbage, and works really well.

It looks like a winter flowering cherry, so that's good 😊.
