  Salvaged strawberry plants, I found these plants in a rotted trough, which had almost completely fallen apart. Even if they do not survive being moved we'll have lost nothing, but hopefully these Cambridge Favourite plants will give us some mice desert strawberries during the summer #GrowYourOwn #allotment

  #enshittification I've been looking into buying a new #SatNav. Many of them offer live traffic, a vital feature for a truck driver, here though, is my problem, all those I have looked at so far, require a phone app, and a Bluetooth link to the phone to provide the traffic info. This requirement has recently been added to my current unit, which is why I started looking for a new one. Until a few weeks ago, I got perfectly good routing around traffic hold ups without a phone connection... N...

  10 days ago George and I visited a castle in #Wales, it feels like a lifetime ago. It's been a long hard week in the #truck, too hot, too many miles, and too many hours.

  We've just had a brief #PowerOutage at home. When the power came back on, it took a while for the modem to reconnect, during the process my husband said, " without that little box, our lives are pointless." It took a while for me to stop laughing.

  After noticing our position in the #AltText league table, I'd just like to encourage my fellow #MastodonAppUK users to add Alt Text to their photos, I'm not chastising anyone, just giving a gentle nudge to help visually impaired Mastodonians.

  Meanwhile, at the small #Allotment... Dramatic music.... We've been invaded by Marsh Horsetail (Equisetum palustre.) Let the war of attrition commence

  @TheZorse@hear-me.social It's all garden, but... A paved area might be called a patio, there may be a veg patch, or decking, all these are in the garden. We only call it a yard if there is nowhere to grow plants in the ground.

  It's #InvasiveSpecies day at the #allotment. 1st and more easily dealt with is the Spanish Bluebell, which I figure I can just dig up, and replace with the native variety. 2nd is Marsh Horsetail, this is a nasty piece of work, it is everywhere I look. So, is there a way to eradicate it that is A) inexpensive, and B) doesn't involve fighting a battle that will last the rest of my life? #gardening

  I have cast my ballot in the upcoming elections (in the UK) 💚 I have a postal vote because my job prevents me attending the polling station.

  @lindasgoluppiart@mastodonapp.uk I can't, for even a minute imagine your life as a failure, if you brought happiness to even 1 person, and I'm sure have, then you have succeeded.

  I took my proper camera (a Canon EOS 90D) up to the #allotment here is my favourite shot from the day, a little trio of blossom on my #Plum tree. Work was also done

  A cold windy day up at the main #allotment but we still got a lot of preparation done, and weeded the whole Fruit Zone. After 4 hours in a biting wind, we returned home to a cup of hot Bovril. #GYO #GrowYourOwn

  True AI could be used in so many ways to make things better for everyone. Instead a weak version is thrown into every software imaginable to generate woeful imagery, and poor articles. So sad.

  Lovely warm day on the #alottment, didn't do as much as I wanted, but made visible progress, so calling it a win. Lots of bees enjoying the spring flowers, I hope they're will hungry when the fruit trees blossom.

  Meanwhile, up at the 'big' #allotment, crocus are flowering,, while the daffodils and tulips are in the green. And I've created a pond, since this photo was taken I've added an escape route for anyone falling in. Plants will be added next week, when I hope to get it finished. #Allotment #Wildlife #Pond

  @kibcol1049@mstdn.social My optician asked me if I could see the sun, when I said yes, he said, " That's 97 million miles away, how far do you want to see?"
