I've been #gardening this morning, mainly seeing to the veg plus feeding the olive tree. The garden is really putting on a show. It's a shame Mum's not here to see it, as she's the one behind it all. The sage flowers are in reality a glowing violet colour, just gorgeous. #bloomscrolling

One of the nice things about not having ads or any kind of revenue from my site is that I no longer get the diamond-pressure bum-hole puckering feeling I used to get when I had a hosting company and a site would go down. I don’t even have monitoring set up and it’s freeing.
But go kick an LLM in the dick for stealing so much of my shit that you can’t read it except in some inaccessible pay-for-wrongness shitty chat venue.

"Seit seinem Amtsantritt vor dreieinhalb Jahren regiert Rösti bevorzugt per Verordnung – an Parlament und Stimm­volk vorbei.
Ob beim präventiven Wolfsabschuss, bei der Einschränkung von Tempo 30 oder der Senkung der SRG-Gebühren auf 300 Franken: Rösti nutzt die Spielräume der Exekutivmacht konsequent aus. Mit dem Bundesamt für Justiz liegt er deshalb seit langem im Dauer­clinch."

I'm sitting outside with a coffee, amid the garden Mum planted so skilfully, and which I maybe didn't appreciate while she was alive, and the various things we've stuck in pots - walnut, fig, olive etc - and have just ordered a hazel tree and a cherry tree from The Woodland Trust. Mum had several big ceramic planters that are now empty or full of scrub and they're just right for young trees that are just a twig and a leaf 🌿
