For context, I think that’s a 125mm/5 inch pot. They actually mostly have shallow roots and don’t want loads of really fertile soil, but it would be nice to give it a bit of room to pup.

Swapped a succulent for a cactus this morning. Rather magnificent. It’s a mature Parodia Warasii (Notocacactus) it’s etiolated slightly but I don’t care. Will repot it too. Big tight there, given it’s about the size of a decent pineapple.

Something of interest for @raynewman.bsky.social Nice small collection of Ward’s Inter Sign lettering.

New site acquired by Norfolk Archaeological Trust, lot of hard work involved over a long period of time, years so I’m told, to achieve this. It’s Moot Hill in Wymondham.

One of the things that always keeps genealogy interesting is the mirror steps where you can see a movement in society at large with your family. In this case the drift towards industrialised urban centres. My dad’s family are very London. Concentrated around the Bishopsgate and Spitalfields area.

A little object biography. A fairly unassuming little bottle. A surface find which holds a certain vague sense of attachment to a story based on where it came from.

It just occurred to me that this rather meaningful NME cassette is 40 in 2026.
I think I saw nearly every band that featured on it at around the time and have records by most. It was pretty seminal as it framed ‘Indie’ when it meant independent rather than the later shite that took over the moniker.

Fell off the world for three or four months due to work pressure (and so forth). Didn’t post any cacti. Will correct but not today because this isn’t one, it’s a succulent with spines, a Euphorbia aeruginosa, which comes from the Limpopo region. It hurts.

A charity shop find Christmas present to myself. A Kodak Vest Pocket Autographic Special. Really popular during the Great War; ‘The Soldier’s Kodak’ – they’re quite small, 127 film, easy to conceal. This one works but has no stylus. With case too which is nice. Produced from 1915 to 1926.

Christmas film are defined by the person, and when they first saw them. This is one of mine. It freaked me out so badly I’ve not watched it since. Even at Christmas as it traditional for me, once, when I was about six.
