Got a few of these bugleweed popping up around the garden / pond area – real contrast to the green which is a nice surprise. We were fortunate that the previous owners loved #gardening and we now have a lot of established perennials that appear at different times of the year.

You really don't need much to start your own plants off. A sunny windowsill, some soft fruit containers (these are from supermarket grapes) and some seed starting compost (fine compost with no additional fertiliser). Add compost, soak, sow seeds and cover with cling film. Then wait. #gardening

Accidental clematis (growing through fence from neighbour's garden) and self-seeding forget me nots. I'll take some cuttings from the clematis for next year so I can have more of them in other parts of the garden. #gardening

Cat stretch – in 4 parts #Cats

Well that was a god damn epic adventure #TLOU2 #Gaming

This is incredible news. However, if you have read any Adrian Tchaikovsky, also potentially bloody terrifying. 😬 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I swear Google Search is getting more stupid. #webdev

Heard this at the weekend. Got a nice feel to it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DmN...

Tulips be tulip-in' #gardening

Folk selling stuff on FB. "Brand new", "Hasn't been used", "Never opened". And they put in on for the same price as if it was brand new. 🤦‍♂️

Here's another, from album of the same name. A real eerie vibe to this one. Lovely analogue tones. Christ. – Pylonesque. #ambient #techno #electronica www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXip...

Didn't quite get through my #TechnoTuesday yesterday – got sidetracked. Been going through some older tunes that I used to play on a local radio show and found this v chilled piece by Alex Kassian: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfT_... ✌️😌🎶

These marsh marigold are practically glowing #gardening #pond

Was determined to grow my own lupins last year and pleased to say that this is how they turned out – a whole lupin family corner. Planted into soil last autumn / late summer. Disappeared almost entirely over winter and now here they are, ready for 2025. I'll post pics when they flower. #gardening

Tales from the greenhouse 😆 Some buddleia cuttings and a rose cutting I took last year looking not bad. Courgettes, lettuce and cosmos seedlings getting ready for next stage (pricking out / pinching off / potting on 🤭). And some v young seedlings – verbena, nicotania and more cosmos. #gardening

Daffs still looking magnificent #gardening

Tulips that I didn't plant – thanks mother nature (and whoever planted them) 🤷🏻 #gardening

I love how tough primroses are. They're like cold.. "yeah and.." heat.. "yeah whatever.." here have some flowers. #gardening

Been waiting for this one...

It's The Last of Us 2 day for PC gamers tomorrow 🙌

The quintessential sound of British summertime (or springtime) — the oft-overlooked chaffinch. 🐦 #birds #birding #birdwatching #hiking

Sad hearing about Val Kilmer. Been a fan since Top Secret and must've watched Willow a million times as a kid. Superb actor and have to say, objectively speaking, a beautiful specimen of a man. #RIP

Sublime stuff from his 2010 "Emerald Fantasy Tracks" LP. 4 of 4: Lone – The Birds Don't Fly This High #TechnoTuesday #Techno
