Thanks - already have done 👍🙂
This is raw but beautiful.
I’m not a labour supporter but I would be happy to see the conservatives reduced to 43 or less.
Oh that’s good…very good. 😂🤣
Personally, I think the more the narrative is framed around Labour winning a ‘super majority’ the opposite might actually be the case. If think Labour are going to win with such a majority will Labour supporters a) still vote and b) would they still vote for Labour - they could afford the vote for another centre-left party as the outcome is not going to change - however the more that people think like that the greater the risk the epic landslide ebbs away. Still can’t see Reform making a breakthrough (which incidentally, this poll has Reform on zero seats).
The King once wished to be Camilla’s tampon, the red represents not only the blood of Camila but all women he has had relations with.
I would have thought Biden supporters would support Biden. This is hardly a revelation.
Sometimes I wonder why America is a called “the land of the free”.
Like I said: a dangerous gamble with the Fifth Republic…
An unprecedented move which could backfire as it did for Chirac in 1997. Macron is playing a dangerous gamble with the Fifth Republic… 🗳️🇫🇷
Fact. New builds in Scandinavia are often built to have the front door open onto the street for that very reason.
I randomly a number of years ago came across this drawing and ever since I have been travelling down the Far Side rabbit hole.
Looks like a Macrolepiota dolichaula.
Gosh - it must be at least five years ago. The technological evolution from then to now has been unprecedented.
Sadly nothing since the Twelve Caesars - he’s pretty useless these days - save for leaving (dead) mice on the doorstep…
Yes, I recognise it isn’t a typical name for a ‘moggy’…lol
That’s a stunning photo!
Thank you. You might find this of interest >> RHS - Ophrys apifera. My soil is fairly ‘alkaline’ and ‘loamy’. Although I reside in a major city the area I live in is essentially rural and so these wild flowers aren’t uncommon. That being said I used to only have one bee orchid every two years but recently I am having one every year and each year I am getting a number ‘colonies’. This year I have five clumps of bee orchids in the front lawn. Oddly, none have been spotted in the back, which is south facing. So I can only assume that these plants don’t thrive in direct sunlight.
