Dry January was great, but the first G&T of 2026 is slipping down quite nicely!

Very glad I planted the garlic in raised ridges!

What a lovely story

Had very little success with onion sets over the last few years, so trying from seed this year. 🤞🤞🤞

I've done My Week: Donald Trump (again) for tomorrow. My first draft genuinely had a joke about Trump thinking there were penguins in Greenland but I took it out because it seemed too stupid.

It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions. Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

Ordering squash and aubergine seeds - excited for the new season!

Another quality 🧪 publication from @Nature (www.nature.com/articles/s41...). Clearly the large sums of money spent on publishing in these “prestigious” journals aren’t wasted on anything as unimportant as… an editor.

EXCLUSIVE Racist Offended by Accusations of Racism. Expressing his frustration that he keeps getting called a racist, a Clacton racist finally broke his silence on Monday. More: mrhenrymorris.substack.com/p/racist-off...

I find LinkedIn can be a useful site for sharing and receiving info, but some of the exec horseshit that gets spouted on there frankly makes want to hurl!

Oh goodie the fucking fireworks have started again. November the fucking 16th. My poor dogs.

15th November and some rest is STILL setting off fucking fireworks!!!!

Remember, remember the 9th of November, when some twats are still setting off fucking fireworks

Yippee. Tonight’s aerial fucking bombardment has started. Ban fireworks.

The nocturnal visitor has bee back on the plot!

Poppy hating the fireworks

for all y’all Brits out there, please consider for a moment what it’s like for your Black and Brown friends to hear this sort of stuff being said by *elected representatives*

Can’t express how much me and the doggos loathe this time of year: I’m locked in with them with two out of synch radios at full blast, swigging wine and paracetamol to numb the fucking headache while the fireworks go off like a fucking war zone. Yay.

Mrs B just turned these into the sexiest veggie curry I have ever had!

While it’s good that the whole Andrew thing is finally being dealt with, could we perhaps take this opportunity to ask the wider question: what the fuck is the point of the ‘royal’ family?

Minority representation on TV causes outrage From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

@royalsociety.org have already demonstrated they are too piss-weak or piss-scared to take action

NYT’s way of apologising?

The annual 2 months of 5th Nov has properly started so I’m sitting boxed in the living room with the dogs and the radio on full blast to try and drown the fireworks out. Ban the fucking things: or at least ban selling them to selfish twats.

Soggy dogs blanket bundle

Good to see the artist formerly known as prince Andrew is losing (nearly) all of his anachronistic titles, perhaps this is a good time for all royal titles for all of them to get in the bin? It is the 21st century after all. Just saying.

Not the classiest shot, but apart from the roast duck, everything else on the plate (including the plums for the plum sauce) is from the allotment!

I'm sorry I said your poem about the little hedgehog was predictable and that the rhyme wasn't really working properly.

Allotment visitor!

I often say to undergraduates if you can’t decide what you want to do after graduation make a list of things you actively want to avoid in your career. The thing at the top of my list back then is what I have been lumped with for the last three years. So much for being congruent!
