Bread, jam and marmalade maker. Partly-defrosted ancient grognard who fell out of my deepsleep pod recently. #ttrpg though obvs should be #rpg
Weve had loads at various points. We have a NZ bottlebrush, and when in flower (long spikes of tiny blooms) the bees went mad for it. A mix, but here's a shot with two bumble bees I think. Have also seen others at various times. Oh, and one solitary bee tunneling into a pot that had tulips in it.
It's the Telegraph, so right-wing and unpleasant now that it doesn’t even warrant the "Torygraph" moniker. Block and move on. In other news, there are tawny owls that have fledged near us and one perched in our silver birch last night, squawking at its parent for a bit. Fun!
Yep, ditto, reminded me of some ancient BBC micro games. But with fewer controls. No idea. Top 10, briefly.. GWM in at number 5 there...
It's his acting range that makes him so watchable, as Tim, Bill and Graham noticed.
Lovely! Reminds me of "bird cloud" that stuck with me after I was lucky enough to see it in Boston I think. german.fas.harvard.edu/resource/lyo...
Here's the earlier photo uncropped to show height of the bins in reference to a standard human. Me.
We discovered it through needing a safe stopoff point during covid when heading north to visit my elderly mam. Was amazed and jealous once we found the walled gardens. And the compost bins are apparently designed for giants.
We're on a quest, near the big city. Paused for refreshments in a small, open-plan tavern and picked up a bit of gossip. Now in some sort of forest full of shrubberies, low thickets, and lots of denizens seem to be wandering about.
Looks like the iea data only go back to 2015 in this view, but it does show stacked bar charts from 0. www.iea.org/data-and-sta...
Surprisingly close to the stage for a gig with @samsweeney.bsky.social Rod Harbron and Miranda Rutter, all away with the birds at The Fleece Inn.
grid.iamkate.com has a good live view and nice historical charts. Fossil fraction down to about 25% from just under 50% looking back to 2012.
... it was the people in my face and having nowhere to go that was doing it. Still lives with me four decades later. A bit like that STOS episode with the over-populated world. The very idea of cave diving freaks me out. Caves/mines are ok, prob. genetic as I'm from a long line of coal miners.
And it was still there in April, good audio effects with the sonic focusing. Surprisingly effective.
Pausing in a little quiet garden with my breakfast before finding out if the natives are friendly...
Nicely done. Given your start, I dug out the aims of the charity. Covers engagement, comms, education and local plus wider. Hard to imagine how to do that without an entertaining social media presence. register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/about-the...
So, having seen a few folks comment about the quiz probably not having a 70s result at all, I had a 2nd go (got 80s dork or whatever first time in). Yep, old git it is. 70s grognard. uquiz.com/quiz/qbE1C1/...
I think they needed to go full jeux sans frontières for the most realistic set of possible challenges.
Sigh, you made me look. And apart from the tedious online spacefiller thing (as "merp" I suspect), I found some others, and your MERP seems to take top spot!
But he's fallen foul of "Why Biodiversity is the ultimate trap for the middle-classes". More means more birds to watch so Lev might never make it out.
Here's a version of income, there are no doubt others. I don't see the scaling here matching meat consumption, even if some of the wobbles look similar.
A snapshot, shows UK quite flat over last 10-15 years. Suggests scope for managing meat consumption by steady nudges.
