Do take care of your own welfare. You deserve safety too.

If users have requests for improvements they can present them quietly and patiently.

Just been playing a game with one of the crows.

Crow takes one step. I take one step.

Crow takes two steps. I take two steps.

Crow takes two steps. I take two steps.

Crow takes one step. I take one step.

The crow started the game.

Crow concludes that I have some small intelligence and a rudimentary idea of numbers.

Crow is happy.

Same.

Ahah. So our Moroccan broom is grafted onto laburnum.

That combination is interesting because Laburnum and Cytisus are not only compatible for grafting, they also sometimes combine into a chimera.

Whereas a hybrid shows characteristics from both parents, with the plant chimera it is like a Frankenstein monster, with one side of a stem laburnum and the other side broom. Messy and weird.

This Swallowtail butterfly (Papilio machaon) was wonderfully cooperative. I saw 20 or 30 of them today.

Common weeds but a welcome sight! Daisy, purple dead nettle and speedwell. The season has started.

I am not in the US so you could say it is none of my business. But this election is not like any other before it.

If Trump is elected he will put an end to democracy in the US and that will have dangerous consequences for the rest of the World.

If he succeeds you may have to wait until you are an old man to have a meaningful vote again.

Spain is continuing its experiment with free suburban rail. In major cities, you can get a season ticket for a four month slot on the city-wide local trains.

It doesn't cover the intercity services which stop at the suburban stations.

As a reality check, they charge a €10 deposit for the ticket. You lose that if you don't make 16 trips but if you do, the money goes back to your account after the date slot has ended.

Around just 3 trips and you break even.

This has to be an AI fake, surely?
