'There was a damn silly bird called a Phoenix...He must have been first cousin to Man.' - Ray Bradbury. Fahrenheit 451

Spending more time in the garden.
Pinned
...we've got one thing the Phoenix never had. We know the damn silly thing we just did. We know all the damn silly things we've done for a thousand years, and as long as we know that and always have it around where we can see it, some day we'll stop making funeral pyres and jumping into [them].
I can't remembers ever seeing buds on this yellow (and very fragrant) rose in November before.

Trump - making his bid for the Nobel Prize for Physics...🤦
Trump: "Nobody knows what magnets are."

Oh dear...!
#TheTelegraph has been praised by Trump.
I think their credibility just hit rock bottom. 🤣

I can't believe that the BBC news channel is talking about some random tv gameshow called 'Traitors'.
I thought the point of a news channel was that it showed...the news.
Time to switch over & put the kettle on.

Anyone interested in investing in a pop-up shop in Pennsylvania Ave selling plastic 'peace' trophies with a sticky label to personalise the inscription with the customer's organisation so that it reads eg #FIFA Peace Prize?
A 'must have' for those visiting the WH to gift to the US president.

Presumably, giving Mr A Mountbatten-Windsor accommodation on the Sandringham Estate means he won't be fleeing the country while investigations are ongoing. 🤔

Whether you want to hang up flags or take them down - NOBODY deserves this. Somebody knows who did this. Silence is complicity. 😠

I wish my phone could show that the leaves on my Acer are actually almost scarlet - 🔴 & are glowing in the dusk. Just stunning. 🌱 #UKGardening

I would really like to know how much Faridge has received from Trump, to date. 🤔

I don't usually like #Storyville but Welded Together (BBC 4) was exceptionally good.
www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
Storyville - Welded Together
A Storyville documentary about a young welder, forced to confront a traumatic past when she has to care for her half-sister. A powerful story of love, survival and second chances.

Despite many of the leaves getting singed by the hot Summer - the Acer is looking good.

The last of the roses is a miniature. I love that the buds don't fully open for ages.

Quiz night when we were young:
#CallMyBluff #FaceTheMusic BBC 4 (TV)
Notice young 'grasshopper'....a real notepad and a brand new pencil for writing your answers.
All 100% recyclable 📝+✏️= 🌱 (My kind of arithmetic) ☺️
Not a screen or stylus or 'outage' in sight. #AWS

Now would be a good time to watch WALL-E if you haven't already. #AWS
Although I'm about to put my wellies on and play amongst the green stuff in the garden. #UKGardeing #Gardening 🌱

UK 01:30 #BBCNEWS channel FROM their American studio:
'No Kings protests begin as huge Anti-Trump rallies sweep across America.'
That's 'it'? 🤷‍♀️
They started 7 hrs+ ago! Not one photo.
Few days ago main news from UK:
30 mins footage of a plane sitting on the tarmac 'waiting for'...Trump

BBC bias😠

Did a bit of tidying up & found some (more) pots with compost in. Turns out there were a few bulbs in them.
I'm pretty sure they were from Mum & Dad's garden so I hope they make it. 🤞

The #BBC has 6 TV channels.
Yet it still has to target the best BBC 2 programmes every time they want to show live events.
No #GardenersWorld or #Beechgrove on Friday night, again.
No quizzing #OnlyConnect #UniversityChallenge on Monday night either.😠 #UKGardening 🌱

Not happy with the #RHS . Just did a search on their website and it gave an 'AI generated answer'. 😠
The last sentence said - For more details visit RHS 🙄

Cutting back an overgrown Bergenia I discovered some pots I'd forgotten about. I now have 2 new sedums. Makes a change from finding weeds. 🤗

Currently watching: Around the World in 80 Gardens followed by Oak Tree Nature's Greatest Survivor.
Thank you BBC 4. 🤗
