There's a reason there's Londongrad.

UK is probably one of the most corrupt countries in the western world. This came to the fore around brexit. There's so much corruption lingering on of 'jolly fine chaps' doing what 'jolly fine chaps' do, i.e. have a word with a friend, or a friend of a friend and whoopee, more cash. Think Greensill. If it were in e.g. France, Cameron would be in jail. Instead, he's been made a Lord.

2022 = hottest year on record in France, with drought + heatwave, resulting in widespread forest fires.

200 days after the fires ended, in some places... they are still burning ... in the soil. The drought continues.

SE-Normandy - 12Feb-24

Last year and a few other recent years, I've seen this plum tree in flower early, but never this early. ~12 days earlier than previous years.

~16°c forecast for Thursday

"everyone who has interacted with the post will receive a notification"

How is 'interacted' defined in this context?
