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.
It's a sad day - I finally lose my excellent burgundy passport for a crappy Brexit "black" one.

So a big final "Fuck you" to all the old uneducated racist gammons who fell for the malicious Daily Mail lies peddled by Farage and his corrupt Russian comrades. 🖕

Bollocks to Brexit

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.

Not much makes me happier than generating a whole trug of delicious organic matter for free.

Amazon have a Prime sale on it seems, which would explain why my basket filled with historical non-purchases all seemed to jump up in price last week.

Does Trading Standards not have to regulate sales on Amazon?

Just watched our kitchen tap caterpillar erupt as a chrysalis from its skin.

This new Gmail redesign is beyond shit. What's the point of this crap waste of space for a reply/forward button? Who needs that?

Give me back the view of my actual email you feking idiot UI designers.

Greenbelt Festival is brilliant, and it's festival-goers are simply the best - look at how neat and organised the campsite rubbish and recycling is👇

Well done @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social 💯👍

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.

Just look how much better the BBC Radio website is on a phone than the eternally stupid BBC Sounds app.

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.

Oh I have some of that too, and I've been trying to propagate it thinking it looked attractive for pollinators. No flowers on mine yet. Thanks for the info 😊

My pond is flowering 😍

My strange rouge daisy flower thingy flowered. No idea where this came from, but I suspect it could have been one of the 665 visitors we had at last year's Open Gardens.

The bastard pigeons have destroyed my little boy's "wheat field". He'll be devastated.

Time to get out the bow and arrow I think.

If true then OpenAI supremo Sam Altman shouldn't be left alone with his child.

Nonstick is a lie pushed by capitalist petrochemical companies.

My two oven trays: one only a year old is scratched, failing and covered in a toxic compound; the other over a decade is only improving it's natural non stick patina with age.

@dropbox.com I am a long time subscriber. I hate your pricing, I think it's beyond excruciating, but still I pay. But for the love of god would you make these edit buttons blue so they are actually visible?!

What's this surprise weed in my garden? Yellow ox eye apparently...

Any thoughts on this copper artifact from my garden? I've found about 4 now.
