After more than a year in office, how is it that the PM still can’t pronounce the name of Wales’ First Minister? A leader in his own party.
It’s incredibly disrespectful.

Hog watch… this little hog is snuffling around our front yard. 2nd time I’ve seen it this week. Not one of our usual 2 visitors. Needs a name if I see it a third time. #hogwatch

More hog sightings tonight. Bach is in their usual spot under the bird feeders. But also spotted this new little hog snuffling through the gravel on the drive.
No sign of Chonk tonight, but hopefully the wildlife camera will pick them up later.

Always enjoy it when you go to a local authority online service and get presented with the Apache2 test page. Fills you with confidence every time.

It’s been a brutal week. My mum died. I’m broken.
So much of me came from her, including my love of sci-fi, (some of) my music taste
She encouraged my interest in technology, even going back to college to learn how things worked so we could do things together.
Goodbye mum.

It finally happened. I’ve been Musked. Final trigger for me to replace the blue bird with a blue sky on my phone Home Screen.
