Many thanks to @katerusby.bsky.social who must have been exhausted for signing my quite old t-shirt to make the perfect ending to @beautifuldaysfest.bsky.social. Her band's finale of Underneath The Stars had me welling up good and proper.

Foraging haul in Lymington, 7kg mirabelle plums and 3kg of damsons. Mirabelles will become approx 12 jars of jam. Maybe some damson jam but will mainly freeze for crumbles.

Had a proper feast at Billy's Burgers and Bar in Hobart for their triple patty, double bun, 'the beast'. Knife and fork unavoidable.
Bonus points for having Sasparilla too.

Major deja vu. Same programme, different bank. Ten years ago, RBS (www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b...) - tonight looks like Lloyd's was doing the same to small businesses.
Both were bailed out by UK taxpayers and part owned by the government, and the bankers still acted like complete shits.

Great day for a 75km tour of some glorious gravel paths in the New Forest, including cycling along an old railway track bed, where you can still see a platform, and rails buried beneath a road.

Cycle to Beaulieu Farm Shop on quieter roads that included a horse enjoying pond weed.
Couldn't leave the shop without some Dexter beef short ribs and what looks like awesome pork crackling.
