If anyone's doing Making Tax Digital (MTD), I think I've found something that could trip a lot of folks up. You do *not* send the total for each quarter in isolation, but rather *cumulative* totals for income / expenses at the end of each quarter. As HMRC explains here. www.gov.uk/guidance/use...
Well the bees must be reading my Bluesky posts because after my whining about their absence they have turned up in force! Meadow doing its job.
First time I've grown winter squash. This is one of the fruits that looks to have set - exciting stuff! Variety is Green Hokkaido.
Yes and huge variance across the country. Here in Belfast it's getting easier to grow outdoor tomatoes (like this one I'm currently hoping ripens well!!) but our winters, while warmer, are getting more risky with wet-dry fluctuations and bigger storms too.
Also, this image is in the story but I want to highlight it here. This is what an air conditioning system made of brick and iron looks like. It's steam punk air con!
Odd situation here in Belfast. Forecast was for grey skies today and noticeably cooler than yesterday. But the sun is out this morning...
By some distance, the healthiest-looking cucumber plants I've grown to date. Hopefully they yield well, too!
This: share.google/pZlmNDvbuSRY... Most people agree that heating systems should be efficiently run, and not used to an extent that would cause energy systems to fall over, it's the same principle with AC.
This comment from Linda Speight, Lecturer in Physical Geography at the University of Oxford.
Last month I stayed in a Premier Inn. Found a very obvious blood stain on the bedding upon check-in. Was given a new room but still complained (who wouldn't?) and this was their response. They've said in this garbled reply that I did raise the issue - but also that I didn't?? Quite maddening!
That's incorrect, and pretty dismissive. share.google/AMzx5yc3lqCl...
Here's something nice. This year's strawbs have been good so far. A little smaller than some years but very nice flavour.
NEW: I spoke to one of Africa CDC's top officials, Prof Yap Boum II, who is leading the Ebola response in the DRC. He told me about the latest situation there. www.bmj.com/content/393/... Photo: Africa CDC

Saw Eric Bibb live in Belfast tonight. He was awesome! Fabulous blues and folk in his unique style. Huge presence. So much soul in everything he does.
Yes I think putting a path through the garden meadow was the right decision.
