Visited RHS Wisley today by coach. It was lovely to see all the autumn colours. Even sat into the odd talk, and visit tropical greenhouses. I had to treat myself to some plants to bring home.

I removed 6 paving slabs to plant an Apple tree. While clearing the stones and roots, I found a number of small items quite deep. Shells, glass medicine bottle, terracotta pot fragments, a fine cup handle and bones. I hope they are not human. 🤔

Caught an image of this lovely Red Admiral butterfly this morning. I should have breakfast in the garden more often. #flowers #gardening

My local community garden invited me to make a #wreath like I did last year. I put it on my gate and it’s a really welcoming thing to see when I get home. All natural and some of it from my own garden.

Having a break for 6 days in Sweden. 🇸🇪 What lovely autumn day. At some points in our walk, there was not a human in sight. That’s a rare thing these days.

The #BBC #weather app is having a technical glitch where it shows #hurricane force winds in sunny #Worthing of nearly 10,000 mph. It just goes to show that any app or server can experience bugs. I bet #developers somewhere are frantically fixing this.

There are a lot more anti-facist protesters than #FarageRiots thugs in #brighton tonight. I picked the wrong night to go to a freelance meeting. Got home safely though.

Bangkok 2136. Despite enforcing a no drone zone, pollution is still rife in the city. If only they listened sooner, we wouldn’t have to live underground. It’s your lung, your choice!

Tourists rarely use the water taxis in Bangkok. It’s much nicer than a road taxi or bus. Plus, it was only 14 baht (35p) for 5 stops.

I never stop being amazed that I can pick veg nearly all year round from my allotment with a bit of planning. November treats.

I created a terminal command written in #Swift. It takes in my bank statement CSV files, detects purchases, and automatically sorts it into one of 16 categories for my accounts. It outputs a CSV file or to terminal. It will save me hours every year, and it was quite fun to build.
