It obviously ends just behind that wall. Pity we had no spade to dig up the pot of gold.

I asked Google lens to identify a tree. "Holm oak", came the reply. I said that was nonsense, I could see it was an ash. When I got home, I opened up the app to see if I could correct it. The ID had changed to "ash". Big Brother is listening in.

Sun on the Tyne. Leaves turning brown.

I see (un)Reform(ed) UK Ltd. has chosen another Welsh leader. I wonder how long she will last.

Late evening sun caught this orchid.

Shoe shine boys are useful.

A bit of colour to brighten the day,

Seeing the Great All American Fair, could we rewrite the story of The Emperor's Big Audience?

The cat sat on the mat. OK, slept.

Palestine Action is supporting Palestinians. Genocide and ethnic cleansing are the major crimes involved.

Stormy weather in Galloway.

Two early episodes of Dr Who have been found. We needed some good news. Move the sofa out for me to hide behind.

After uni, around 25 I think, when I moved to the midlands. Rutland water and the Norfolk coast. Before that, we had house sparrows, thrushes, blackbirds, wood pigeons and a one-legged robin.

Can anyone name three countries where US interference since WW2 has had long-term success?

Women and low-paid workers voted for this.

I'm judging by what has happened on road schemes near me. It becomes easier to make journeys, so people do them more often.

If Trump is trying to outlaw antifascism, does this mean he accepts his administration is fascist?

All those brave US servicemen who fought, and many died, to save Europe from fascism were terrorists? Who knew? Trump insults their memory.

I believe this Charlie Kirk called for the Epstein files to be released. How about honouring him by releasing them? Or was that the reason he was shot?

Humpty Trumpty stood on a wall. Humpty Trumpty lied to as all. All of the senate and all decent men Couldn't stop Humpty from lying again.

If a script writer had come up with a plot about the president of the USA and a wealthy technocrat scrapping like 2 kids in the playground, they would have been laughed out of town.

When I saw the pic of the cardinals in their red robes and white mitres, why was I reminded of the Handmaid's Tale? (Sorry can't find how to include the photo!)

On this day when we celebrate women in science, the US is trying to cancel the role of Vera Rubin in encouraging their participation.

Can you have philosophy of science? Don't the two words mean the same thing?
