'There was a damn silly bird called a Phoenix...He must have been first cousin to Man.' - Ray Bradbury. Fahrenheit 451

Spending more time in the garden.

...we've got one thing the Phoenix never had. We know the damn silly thing we just did. We know all the damn silly things we've done for a thousand years, and as long as we know that and always have it around where we can see it, some day we'll stop making funeral pyres and jumping into [them].
Primroses & primulas in December - another first in my garden.

Was cutting back the herbaceous peonies. Not sure I like seeing new shoots this side of Christmas. 🤔

Good neighbours looking out for each other.
More of this please USA.
In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

Is this why Andrew M-W is keeping his mouth shut, here in the UK? 🤷‍♀️

Trump has been slapped with a $310 million lawsuit alleging that the president engaged in a “trafficking venture” that was “identical in every material respect” to the sex-trafficking operation allegedly spearheaded by Jeffrey Epstein.

He betrayed the Afghan people and their allies.
He will betray Ukraine and her allies.
Just in case you are listening to Mike Turner's (R-Ohio) bullshit on Face the Nation this morning...

Couldn't stand another minute of Badenoch responding to the budget. Getting your goons to chant 'up' and 'down' as if it's a game show is so disrespectful to the HoC & the public.
This is not the way I expect elected MPs to behave in Parliament.

Just unsubscribed from #Indeed #LinkedIn & #Totaljobs
Subscribing just gives them licence to spam inboxes with 'any job' in 'any location' whilst claiming to have specific job titles in a specific location. 😡
It can't be that difficult to make a search criteria filter that actually 'works'. 🤷‍♀️

Watching #BBC4 TV - The Magic of Mushrooms with Prof Richard Fortey. I usually think of him as the fossil man.

I can't remembers ever seeing buds on this yellow (and very fragrant) rose in November before.

Trump - making his bid for the Nobel Prize for Physics...🤦
Trump: "Nobody knows what magnets are."

Oh dear...!
#TheTelegraph has been praised by Trump.
I think their credibility just hit rock bottom. 🤣

I can't believe that the BBC news channel is talking about some random tv gameshow called 'Traitors'.
I thought the point of a news channel was that it showed...the news.
Time to switch over & put the kettle on.

Anyone interested in investing in a pop-up shop in Pennsylvania Ave selling plastic 'peace' trophies with a sticky label to personalise the inscription with the customer's organisation so that it reads eg #FIFA Peace Prize?
A 'must have' for those visiting the WH to gift to the US president.

Presumably, giving Mr A Mountbatten-Windsor accommodation on the Sandringham Estate means he won't be fleeing the country while investigations are ongoing. 🤔

Whether you want to hang up flags or take them down - NOBODY deserves this. Somebody knows who did this. Silence is complicity. 😠
A women faced abuse and threats while taking down flags. Elsewhere, a man was attacked and hospitalised.

When will police act?

I wish my phone could show that the leaves on my Acer are actually almost scarlet - 🔴 & are glowing in the dusk. Just stunning. 🌱 #UKGardening

I don't usually like #Storyville but Welded Together (BBC 4) was exceptionally good.

Storyville - Welded Together
A Storyville documentary about a young welder, forced to confront a traumatic past when she has to care for her half-sister. A powerful story of love, survival and second chances.

Despite many of the leaves getting singed by the hot Summer - the Acer is looking good.

The last of the roses is a miniature. I love that the buds don't fully open for ages.
