This Guardian headline desperately needs some punctuation to make it say what they want it to say. As it is, it sounds like he is no longer accusing Unilever of silencing their social mission.

It's a trade off. Although I lost fish to heron prefilter as well, but a heron brought us our first fish--a river bream--so we owed them. My cover is really unattractive, I know, but here's the filter [recycle box feeding into plastic half barrel planter into pond]. Mains can be tricky too.

On ebay I listed a woolen tapestry I inherited from an elderly neighbour, which I explained in my listing, saying all I know is she traveled to Peru at some point. Someone wrote to ask if my neighbour bought it in Lake Titicaca. This was my reply. And then theirs.

Finally finishing this. I'm enjoying it. Read a chapter when I first got it, then put it down and didn't pick it up. Don't know why. It's really thought-provoking.

I haven't read this but I highly recommend The Independence of Miss Mary Bennet by Colleen McCollough of the Thorn Birds for a really different look at all the sisters. The blurb gives some idea but you also see Jane and Lizzy's marriages quite differently in it.

Someone please tell me I will lose all my remaining friends if I respond to the "Weather will be great on Sunday" on the group chat with an article about the pea shortage due to atypically hot/dry weather this year.

If you are curious what Lib Dems make of the welfare/disability cuts, this is an amendment signed by my Lib Dem MP sent to me in an email response to my letter detailing why he is against the proposed bill. We have 2 progressive parties in Parliament and neither are Labour.

This is an old video of my dog traying to hang off a high branch. He could easily grab it from below but that's not his game. He's almost 15 now and his back legs give out easily and he only has a few weeks left. I'm so sad. He is both the sweetest and maddest dog ever.
