Got to the frog mini game again today. #Puzzmo

Sixteen circles in a four by four grid, with a coloured frog in each. Text over the top: frog frenzy 186

Dutiful Murdock@dutifulmurdock· Jun 30

Today I managed to clear the frogs and a new mode dropped 😱 #Puzzmo #Ribbit

Grid of 4x4 circles with a coloured frog in each circle. Text overlaid reads "frenzy score: 187"

I'm rubbish at the post-game clearance challenge. Annoying.

16 circles arranged in a 4x4 grid. In the bottom left corner there is a yellow frog. There is a pink frog in the circle above, and another pink frog in the bottom right corner

The inheritance sequence by a.k. Faulkner, starting with Jack of Thorns. I started with one, on the off chance. My library speaks for itself 😆

Nah, that was this glass pyramid 😆

1980s "futuristic" mirrored glass and red steel pyramid building. It was lit up red at night and was the highest point in Milton Keynes until they built the next big thing right next to it.

This one would be mine:

Imagine the crystal pyramid entrance to the Louvre, but make it British and 1970s. It's the leisure centre in bletchley - now gone, and replaced with a building that could be absolutely anywhere.

Morning Womble! I'm making steady progress through The Hallows by h.l.tinsley. How could anyone resist that tagline? The world is immersive, deliciously weird and the conspiracy large. Will our hero rescue his relationships as he solves the case?

1930s font, reading The Hallows h.l.tinsley. the tagline states "ancient bloodlines, illicit substances, floating nuns". There is a male silhouette wearing a fedora, against yellow lit windows in a wooden gothic revival arched window, adorned with 4-petalled white flowers.

#HedgeNews the tree doesn't appear to object to the intense pruning they had over the winter. We'll need to thin the fruit to allow them room to grow

It turns out I've been a good girl, and was visited by the spirit of bookmas at midnight. There are many copies available, but this one is *mine* Happy UK book birthday @rjbarker.bsky.social

Post your warning sign

Notice warning of roadworks with text: "yer jerking, merr rerd werks. Apologies for any delays." There is a smaller warning icon with two people riding the same bicycle, crossed through and the text "no croggies". The area code on the contact phone number is for Hull

Sounds like a squeaky wheel, looks like a wren with cartoon angry eyebrows, it's a goldcrest. Just so you know how loud it is here, and who's making the noise. The background hum is the M4. #HedgeAdjacent

The new horizons HSA have been and we've got five stars, lads. That whole thing about putting random stuff down seems to work on

One of these things is not like the others.

If they're going with mantasy, all the heroes dress like this. I don't make the rules

For the literally no one who will ask... Behold ButtHenge!

Rustic bench built from three large pieces of rock. It looks like Stonehenge but was designed for sitting on, not some celestial calendar. I guess on midsummer the sun might shine directly through it, I've not checked.

I know it's been a hot minute since I was in school, but wtf is year 14?

Article about changing a-levels in the UK. In England and Wales, AS levels can be taken at the end of year 12, and the A2 at the end of year 13. The article refers to exams at the end of years 13 and 14.

This one is more recently made, and the pattern is based on the great ouse

I've had some fun with sashiko, and non-loom darning. If the fabric is getting thin, then sashiko may be a useful approach for the trousers. The following are all the same cushion cover, performing the round patch, triggered the need for the square patch. The sashiko covers a three inch tear
