It seems we're have ground nesting bees in our lawn. Found this little one looking a bit the worse for wear, returned her to the nest entrance & she crawled straight inside. Pretty sure they're chocolate mining bees. Harmless & fascinating. #naturesky

A bee with golden hairs & black banding.

Very much approve of this message from the fantastic 22a Records label. Check 'em out & snag yerself quality modern jazz, cheap! 22amusic.bandcamp.com

We had an overwhelmingly positive response to yesterday’s 22a flash sale on Bandcamp. Thanks to all that came through and supported.

It feels good to be selling vinyl at an affordable price again, especially as the format has become so expensive over the last few years.

With the above in mind I’ve decided to extend the 22a sale for the rest of this weekend so that more people can have the opportunity to browse the catalogue and enjoy the significantly reduced prices.

Moving forward I’m going to make a conscious effort to start selling vinyl releases at a more affordable price. Vinyl prices have gotten out of hand recently and I can see that it’s making it unaffordable for a lot of people, which is the last thing we need with the cost of living continually increasing!

Flora had her op yesterday. She did not like the cone of shame & dispatched it shortly after this picture. She is doing great.

"Deplorable" "Divisive" "Hateful" - they keep coming out with these attacks, when nothing could be further from the truth. The establishment is seriously rattled! #GreenParty
