Friend sent this music deep cut over. Too funny not to share! 😂

Came home to discover that my Yellow Iris has blossomed while I’ve been at work!

Monks hood. Sounds like it should be in the Viz Profanisauras…

It’s dated these days but I do love riding this bike. It fairly zings along. ‘Good tunes, old fiddles’ etc.

This has has been known about for ages. It’s an absolute disgrace that it has not been tackled.

How many times did this sick pig of a man call a professional journalist “stupid” without hesitation; on air; with no apology. REMOVE THIS BASTARD FROM THE WHITEHOUSE- he seems to like name-calling. So let’s let it rip!! @whitehouse-47.bsky.social @senatepress.bsky.social

All for this 👍

“I think we have the same opportunity here as the Dutch had. The cost of fuel now has showed us just how vulnerable we are to changes in the world’s oil prices and how over-dependent we’ve become on one mode of transport,” Active Travel commissioner Chris Boardman said
