I'm DrNickBailey from Twitter, but can't be supporting Must and Trump any longer. Going to mostly try and stay positive here with gardening and wildlife.

Just found this gem in my mum's freezer from the turn of the millennium.
Anyone interested in UPF might be interested to see how many fewer ingredients there were back then.

Gah! WhatsApp on Mac is such a poor experience - forced to update every few days, and it's such a palaver to perform. Mac was so much better before the crappy App Store.

I took the top triangle of glass out of my greenhouse end and it seems to have helped stop so many insects getting stuck. They'd always cluster at that end, I guess it's towards the light as that's the top south most point.

one from 2015, I think.
This started as being about 'unfit people suddenly getting back into tennis because Wimbledon's on', but as I was writing turned into a thing vaguely about, being an imposter in your own job, or even your body? Which was much more interesting. it's fun when that happens

![[Title panel, over an image of a tennis racquet in amongst junk in a cupboard]:
Let's Not Do This Again
Cut to a TENNIS RACQUET being held in the hand of a man called TERRY.
RACQUET:
Right.
OK.
RACQUET:
So l just sort of... *hit it with my face*.
TERRY:
Yes.
[Pull back to show TERRY - overweight, sweating, playimng tennis but surrounded by loads of balls on the ground which he’s missed].
RACQUET:
At the net.
TERRY:
Over the net.
RACQUET:
Over. Over the net, yes. Sorry.
RACQUET:
It's just, y know we haven't done this since last -
[A ball gently hits the handle of the racquet]
*POF*
RACQUET:
UUUURRGH
RACQUET:
UUURGH CHRIST
MY HANDLE
TERRY:
Ssh!
RACQUET:
IT HIT ME ON MY HANDLE TERRY
TERRY:
Stop it!
RACQUET:
No Terry! You stop it! You stop this... this... charade!
RACQUET:
I am a 1993 Head Radical in hot pink, who belongs in a cupboard. You are an unfit man who thinks he likes tennis, but in reality belongs on the sofa.
RACQUET:
Why do we do this every year, Terry?
RACQUET:
Why do we go on playing this silly -
[Ball gently hits the side of the racquet]
*KLANG*
RACQUET:
UUURRGGH IT
HIT MY SIDE BIT...](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4m3we4apbjayclzcnhwe3pfp/bafkreiewgdwjepj7yqovuummsa2z5w4zsphehgwnn4xpptthsxvkzadqrq@jpeg)

I just voted against proscribing Palestine Action, a civil disobedience group, as a terrorist organisation. But I'm furious that in doing so, the government forced me and others to vote against proscribing two other clearly terrorist groups. Cynical and dangerous from govt.

Despite 30°C outside and a front door left wide open my local Tesco is so cold inside that the oil is solidifying.
Turn the aircon down a bit, it doesn't need to be that cold.
