Education strands that include this are the ones he wants to cut. He's never come across as having any knowledge of geography, that aside.

Over simplification. QV, Indian Rebellion of 1857. It was never an easy rule nor was it ever going to be. It wasn't undone in 30 years. It was violently repressive from early days.

Explaining to the Council how my wheelie bin ruptured would have been tricky. So I moved it back.

I was thinking less about rivers, more physics & how water can act in different states. The air being saturated would make sense, being about -2C. When my rain water butts got full, I shifted some water to a wheelie bin, so as not to waste it. Inside that it was freezing from the edges inward.

Interesting. I looked into why some rivers ice over more than others. It's complex. When I tipped some very cold water into a slightly warmer water butt ( sun shining on it) today , I saw water vapour, which I had not expected. Physics is weird. @penguingalaxy.bsky.social might shed some light.

Absolutely. Nice photo. Ice I tipped out of the bowl, left for the birds, didn't thaw yesterday. 2 -3 cm thick. Birds grateful for any water they can access.

Kind of think we do need to annoy the US, by telling that vain narcissist he's losing popularity and his own economy is stalling.

Galloway - always self-interested and unable to see the bigger picture. Or perhaps he substitutes his own "bigger picture" in place of one most sensible people would recognise. It's hard to imagine a group where he might still have credibility.

It's the others he has emboldened that worry me more. He's putting things in place to make it easier for them to cling to power.

Trump never seems concerned about moral authority. He also seems not to learn from experience. Any thoughts about 2026 having any potential to be better than last year have evaporated.

PW in particular knew a good tune when he heard one. More a "craftsman" than "creative artist", bringing out good stuff from others. Not to be sniffed at, if you can do it.
