Russia in a position like that of Germany in 1944-5. Everyone knew the war was lost, but nobody could do anything as long as Hitler lived. Russia is now at the point it either follows its leader to destruction or they remove him and save the country, end the war, and face the consequences. At least

Rob Clough of Charnwood Cider. In here is a story of how cidermaking for fun becomes an (good) obsession! I’ll have some of that strong stuff if there’s any going….

🔥 Another strategic strike: we’ve hit a turbine plant in #Yekaterinburg. That’s a game-changer—no turbines means no quick fixes for refineries, pipelines, and pumping stations.
💥 It’s all part of Ukraine’s strategy to deepen #RussiaFuelCrisis. Watch as #RussiaIsCollapsing

Good luck- the pollution of the Wye by agribusiness and sewage is a disgrace

I doubt Trump will pardon her. He shouldnt anyway! If he did he will attract too much attention to his problem over Epstein. If he doesnt i wonder if she’ll spill the beans in revenge?

It’s ok to feel bleak sometimes - you’d not be human otherwise esp with what you have to endure. But there will be better days to come. Hang in there - and go hug someone; hopefully it will give you comfort.

*FUNGI APPRECIATION POST*

Are we all in agreement that fungi are the best thing about autumn? These incredible specimens were snapped by Siân Lloyd in Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons). You can find fungi in damp, shady areas, particularly in woodlands.

Have you spotted any yet?

it’s an odd thing for someone to send over a drink unsolicited - and rude; deserves to be refused everytime. Feel good about sending it away

🚁 During a Ukrainian drone attack on Sochi, even Putin (or his double) reportedly had a panic attack. 😱✈️ Once his favorite hideaway, Sochi is now too hot to handle for the Kremlin. The front lines aren’t just in Ukraine anymore—they’re right inside Russia. 🔥🇷🇺

a fine indictment of achievements. Indictment being the collective noun reserved for specialist medals awarded to master strategists like Putin. She forgot to mention 1 abducting children 2 bombing and killing innocent civilians day and night 3 world record in nuke threats.

If, like me, you're staring at a huge glut of apples and wondering what to do with them, might I suggest trying a few of the apple-based historical fruit recipes that I've collected over the past few years?

Some absolutely delicious apple dishes described here:
