Spent the morning cleaning sh*ite out of blocked drains which flooded our football pitch and this afternoon a bit of relief with a run. What with one thing and another a shower is on the cards....

Start to the day: Rook, Hooded Crow, Goldfinch, House Sparrow, Blackbird, Jackdaw and Moorhen - and then a gentle row...

If I was Trump being accused of being a paedophile and with full access to files to prove my innocence I would be on the tallest turret Trumpeting my innocence. I would get Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie and the Dagenham Girl Pipers to call the public to witness me release the files

An INNOCENT man would have released the files by now, especially after literally CAMPAIGNING on doing just that! Instead we paid a THOUSAND FBI agents around the clock for weeks to cover his name! What part aren't we understanding exactly! He's not innocent! He is a PEDOPHILE!

In 2019, he claimed he hadn't talked to Epstein for 15 years. Unsurprisingly, just another lie.

Short version:

Trump: I'm dismantling the Constitution, building a paramilitary fascist army loyal only to me, blowing up the US economy for my billionaire cronies, and destroying the planet.

Schumer: Okay, but you have to extend subsidies for corporate health care

Trump: No

Schumer: Okay
How Chuck Schumer Planned the Shutdown Capitulation to Trump
In brief. And then in excruciating detail

The Epstein revelations must surely mean that Epstein did not die by his own hand. He was killed when 24 hour observations in gaol suddenly stopped and the guards left and cameras mysteriously turned off. From the emails just before then, Epstein was at least 75% on the way to exposing Trump.

It is now sixteen weeks and four days since I had Weetabix. Not ashamed to say it has been a struggle, but I am getting there and so proud of myself....

November 10th - found one of my strawberry plants has just produced a strawberry.

Life is now like some of those Rupert Annual stories where the seasons are all mixed up in Nutwood.

Proud of myself. I replaced the clutch on my MGB with only the help of a Haynes manual.

Mind you, that was in 1983 and I now have no idea how the hell I did that. Hard to believe that now. We lived in very different times.

No good 'sitting on' a good story if none of us can read it....

At last, a quiet still morning in the Isle of Man. Merlin tells me I have been hearing a Goldfinch, Chaffinch, House Sparrow, Starling, Robin, Blue Tit, Great Tit, and Jackdaw as I sat outside in the nearly chilly sun with my cup of tea. Only saw the Robin, Sparrow and Jackdaw.

If you dig really deep into how societies work and analyse the problems - the solution to nearly everything is HOUSING

Ensure there is adequate housing for everyone

Get that right and everything good, socially and economically will naturally follow

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S.
“Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.
