Watching the eccentric lady from Dorset, on Gardeners' World, who has 1,000 dahlias, and hectares of land is great. I never thought I'd feel so poor. More peat-free, allotment, urban garden, gardening techniques, and every day people content please. 🀌🏻 πŸŒ±πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

So, my cat had breakfast. I went out. I came back. He's now pretending he didn't have any. Licking his bowl, meowing. I didn't sign up to the 9am Oliver Twist special screening. πŸ˜‚πŸˆ .

In other news. πŸ“°.

The day the lights went down at Birmingham Snow Hill.

The magnolia flower-eater season is upon us. This is very lotus-eater, very Homerian. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡·. ⛡️. 🌱 πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§.

What George said. 🐈.

Birmingham, I'm revisiting this glorious post I made.

Marine "Pas Bien" has been barred from running for public office for five years, meaning she would not be able to run in the 2027 French presidential election. #MarineLePen #RN #RassemblementNational

Harsh!

This was a great piece of theatre. 🎭 Kyoto πŸ“ Sohoplace The acting was something else.

πŸŒ±πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Jasmine stopped growing, unhappy for 2 years too. Re-potted, and given some support. Fingers crossed.

Greece had its minimum wage raised to 880€ p/m. A flat costs 700€ p/m. Is this the best they can do? There is such a class division rn it's embarrassing. Watch a generation follow exactly what I did, immigrate. Literally "the how to". #ΝΔ #politics

Car accident. Howard Street, Hockley area, Birmingham. Driving around here is wild. The crash was audible from within the building!

My Balkan heritage is in the hands of Ancestry. Do I care, yes. Do I want to make light of it, also yes. Opa and haidΓ©, haidΓ©! 1/2

It's mad how my cat's doom scrolling is looking out the actual window.

LGBTQ+ momentum. πŸ«–.

Monday mornings in the West Midlands. #Brum

All information available including AI says I should cut back miscanthus sinensis🌾. However! I saw thay the garden staff at one of the largest local authorities in Europe lets it do its thing. Surely they know more. So, I'm torn between striking now βœ‚οΈ, or living with my decision. Opinions? πŸŒ±πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Balkan traditions spotted at Oozells square in Birmingham today. I think this is beautiful. Cultural facts in the comments.

Honest truth.

Moana 2 could've been better. Right?

Flower bab! 3.5kg of stunning, pure Birmingham, cat. πŸŒ±πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

My beast of a camelia is loving life. Her first 2025 bloom! πŸŒ±πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Someone on A Place in the Sun What Happened Next is enjoying, and I quote, "fresh chicken". Forget about all the fantastic fresh Mediterranean veg, "fresh chicken". πŸ˜‚.

Someone just said to a person who doesn't know them "did you hear the interview I gave to WM?" Mate, we don't wake up and sleep with you in mind. No to hearing your interview. No to narcissists.

Birmingham creatives! A reminder.

I'm not sure if what I hear is baby pigeons or Birmingham Snow Hill station's escalators struggling. It could be both. All I wanted was to get a train.

Hear me out. Unlimited wishes. And a Fanta.

What's something you failed at growing, again, and again, and again? It's salvias for me. πŸ™‹πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ πŸŒ±πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§.

Right. No more rearranging candles with letters on. This is where it's at guys!

I don't normally get invited to these things. So, being a part of the Birmingham physical activity citizen panel was great. Some good talks. And a reminder, EU citizens in this city also have a voice. A very VERY valid one at that.

Thinking about this.

Dogwood roots have the same effect as catnip. Exhibit A! πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ 🌱

Marina's Butterfly. The 2025 song release we needed. πŸ¦‹. 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡·. #Marina #MarinaAndTheDiamonds

Omg, I just asked a teenager to get their feet off the train seat! And I sat down. Boom. This is an ode to my crow's feet.

Okay. Lichfield council, this is amazing. Birmingham, you have competition.

I grew up when the ⏹️ button actually did something. And my TV remote is ancient. πŸ‘€.
