Big screen action here in Germany

Another day another beer!

My son is only 28 it took me until I was about 45 to get to this

Joining a wonderful unique festival here in Schwäbisch Gmünd; it’s a cooperative they pay so much a year then when you are 40 or 50 or 60 or 70 or 80 or 90 on a particular Saturday the town throws you a festival in your honour. Friends give you flowers and there is a song sung to you. Prost!

I think it was a heavy night last night; these bees are not feeding or foraging merely “resting” (it’s cooler and a bit damp here this morning)

Totally

The BBC headline says £10bn wasted, I am sure all those Tories spent wisely on boats, properties in Europe, holidays, extensions to their homes, not wasted at all.

Ml/d = millions of litre per day. These are the estimated amounts of water each companies wastes daily from leaky pipes. I know some of these are hard to get to, but a bucket of water from the shower is about 10l at best

I don't understand. Can anyone help. When the Orange sleepy one writes these who are they aimed at? Does he think anyone of any merit or influence takes them seriously? Is he writing them to his MAGA electorate;posturing basically? Does he think leaders quake in their shoes? I don't get it

My OH bought a bottle of coke, something she rarely does. This was her sticker on the label; I’m taking it as a good omen.

They played Londonderry Air, not a dry eye in the square. We’ve been treated to truly world class musicianship in the sun today.

Challenge accepted. Tough one, not really dark enough and photographing the moon is always tough as it is relatively so bright. I exposed for the moon and then the stars and could have stacked the images, but I think this works.

Decisions decisions? Which to read?

I enjoy the sweet potato pakoras from Gosh! but wondered if I could make my own. Using the ingredients list here is my attempt. For a travelling picnic they would need to be firmer but for the table they are great, even if I do say so myself. @alomshaha.bsky.social (recipe in alt text)

So most garden chores complete: watering done, bedding plants all but out, dead heading a continuous effort, tomato plants fettled. A lawn cut would merely remove clover flowers so the bees might as well enjoy them. Time to sit in the shade and read I think.

I enjoyed the article on tinned tuna in the FT mag by @timhayward.bsky.social. An American house guest introduced me to grated cheese in my tuna mayo, revelation! Noticed how he made the same error I’ve done in forgetting the end of the last century was 27 years ago. I’ll try to post a link

Victorinox admits they sponsored tonights game to launch their new Swiss Army knife

I'm enjoying this at the moment from @imcmillan.bsky.social Its short anecdotal style is perfect for bedtime "post staying up for the football" reading.

Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive

There is only one thing worse than a corrupt rich entrepeneur and that is a posh aristocratic corrupt rich entrepeneur. Just stuck it quickly into google to check my spelling .....perfectly sums it up

GCSE one shelf, A-level and Uni below (+ other over sized special science books)

Just for the record, on tonight’s abysmal referee, quote from before the match

This is satire right? I’ve seen lots of images like this in Y10 exercise books

You may have seen this already. I came across this data recently. It is linking literacy with political efficacy, how much people feel able to engage with politics and exert some control over it. Graph below data here www.oecd.org/content/dam/...

Runaway tram question, who do you save?

A little moan @BBC. I know why you do it but choosing to use the four "capital" cities of the home countries for the summary of the weather forecast, is completely useless for a large number of us esp those of us in the North.As we live more than 100 miles from Cardiff,London,Belfast and Edinburgh.

Well we won the quiz! Which was nice.

Going full European; Quiz night with the German twinning organisation
