The last 48 hours has been a bit of a blur. 3 pre-recorded interviews, Radio Solent live, BBC New Channel live and BBC Breakfast live yday at 6.50 am in Manchester. All down to Mark Telfer and I refinding Aulonia albimana on the Isle of Wight after an absence of 40 years! Now I need to do some work!

Bazgroł na dziś: jednoosobowy i eksperymentalny, zbudowany w odpowiedzi na japońskie łodzie latające w ilości całych trzech egzemplarzy. Słaba widoczność, lotniskowce i koniec wojny pogrzebały projekt. Ocalały egzemplarz można podziwiać w Solent Sky w Southampton, UK. Saunders-Roe SR.A/1

True.
But I'd be more worried about eating shellfish from the Solent than I would about any berries, roots, leaves or fungi that I know on the Hampshire mainland.

I would suggest banishing him to one of the forts in the Solent.
That would be a hoot

Starmer and Labour talk about "delivery" but they've been in office for more than a year, with a huge majority, and have barely managed to legislate on their manifesto pledges. For example: Where are we on the employment rights bill that would outlaw this action by Solent? Why hasn't it passed yet?

#MosaicMonday at Brading Roman Villa: a half-naked man with stick, globe & sundial is identified, as 3rd C bc astronomer & poet, Aratus. The damaged larger part of the Brading mosaic floor above Aratus might represent his famous poem the Phaenomena telling Bronze Age stories of constellations (wow!)

Garlic planting day at the allotment, 60 cloves Solent Wight & Rhapsody Wight that I'd saved were planted amongst the White Mustard green manure.
I also thought I'd try a few of my Zebrune Shallots, they're not one of the varieties recommended for overwintering so we'll see how that goes. 🤞🌱

I think this is why the tech bro billionaires proffer their sci-fi scraped vision for future government. They know the proverbial will hit the fan soon.
The unspoken part is they expect the rest of us to get used for solent green or chased around the barron wasteland for sport (joking not joking)

I am so glad I played Higurashi before Solent Hill f. It has poisoned my brain and now I think everything is a reference.
