We commissioned a painting from artist Julie Alcorn to celebrate our garden and its inhabitants. Here is a detail with the bees ( even though they are solitary….artist licence)

I think that’s the amazing native blue-banded bee. I’ve seen two in 15 years at Newport (when our blue native flowers were blooming) They are solitary, live in sandstone or sandy mud tunnels and buzz pollinate. Eroding river banks lead to loss of habitat

This is the international meteorological code format (SYNOP or similar) that weather stations use to transmit observations. It’s designed to pack a lot of weather data into a compact, standardized format that can be transmitted efficiently & decoded by meteorological services worldwide.

Despite all that aggression, Putin — has been rewarded.

An in-person meeting with the leader of the free world awaits on Friday, local time.

Trump, for his part, has said he's searching for a pathway to peace. That idea could be unrealistic.

I agree with his police comment. American police training places an emphasis on force and firearms, while British police prioritize de-escalation and communication.

Trump had substantial loans from Deutsche Bank, which has been investigated for laundering money for Russian clients. As of 2016, Trump reportedly owed Deutsche Bank around $364 million. Some of these loans—totaling $287 million—were later forgiven.

It’s a reasonable assumption Trump has been compromised by Russia given his behaviour. I suspect they funded the 2016 election but Mueller could not find enough proof. They hold it over him now.
