Like an adventure. Hate heights. One time skydiver, parasailer, abseiler. Hiking, camping, visiting new places. Fermenting, food and wine. Mini schnauzer owner.
Tired of bullshit from whichever way it comes. But on we wade.

Words like "idea" or "plan" or "strategy" are not suitable to describe trump's unthinking uncomprehending bullshit. Just refer to it as bullshit and be done with it
Trump doesn't understand health insurance and he doesn't really understand real estate financing.

Why Trump's 50-year mortgage idea could backfire
Trump's idea for a 50-year US mortgage doesn't address the main problem at the heart of the housing affordability crisis.

Back in 1997 there were just 11 booming male Bitterns left in the UK – almost extinct. Thanks to conservation by @rspb.bsky.social and @naturalengland.bsky.social 283 booming males were recorded in 2024.

Hidden wonders: my fascinating encounters with the Bittern
Elusive and majestic, the Bittern’s booming call echoes across Minsmere’s reeds – a symbol of hope and conservation success

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

I've always felt that Johnson and Farage put self-interest over the national interest - hence their dallying with Putin and his oligarchs. But directly colluding with a foreign government to take down the BBC feels like an act of supreme treachery

I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job.
To see Trump's White House claiming credit for his downfall and attacking the BBC should worry us all.

It’s easy to see why Trump wants to destroy the world’s number one news source. We can’t let him.
The BBC belongs to all of us here in the UK.
The Prime Minister and leaders from across the political spectrum should be united in telling Trump to keep his hands off it.

This account - AddySpectre - is obsessed. They have held onto and remembered a post I made FIVE MONTHS ago, that was nothing whatsoever to do with them, and apparently DISCUSSED IT AT LUNCH (no apologies for the caps) this week with a "clinical psychologist". It is deranged behaviour.

A busy (and very green!) morning for our Green Team & DofE volunteers!
Thanks to the Edwards family for donating six trees 🌱 — Richard planted them, Bill sharpened tools, Oscar’s team cleared the gate area, and the other Oscar oiled benches.
Great teamwork all round! 💚

It’s possible to live a normal, happy life in America, and it produces many brilliant, enlightened, warm, generous people. But, on some issues it remains a deeply alien, troubling, almost medieval place eg death penalty, gun rights, bigotry, religious extremism. The best and worst of mankind.
I had to read this several times to believe it - in 34 states, child marriage still legal; in 4 states, with NO minimum age- provided one parent and a judge consent. Usually girls. Often, for pseudo religious reasons, including to avoid an abortion after rape 😡😡😡. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/o...
