Greetings from Kyiv, where it is calm, and the sun is still generously warm. How is it where you are? Anything beautiful around you?
As a woman diagnosed as a child I have been supremely lucky and owe everything to intelligent and tenacious parents.

Tomorrow Trump will announce the ‘cause’ of autism, something he says is ‘out of control’. He also doesn’t care if (read: that) what he says is wrong. Autism isn’t out of control, but ableism is. Autism isn’t out of control, but eugenics are.

The reality of trying to fit plants back in to the flat😳🤣
Too busy today to take photos until a post work allotment trip where I dug up and potted up chilli plants and retrieved house plants ready for the cooler nights next week.
Mid hedge cut when the sun put in an appearance and I became over dressed! 🥵
I love this Vonnegut post so much!
"THE BIG GREEN BOOKS 500 CLUB" I've set up a thing where I can regularly send £500 of books to schools who need them. It costs £1 a week to help out, or whatever you can. Here's the plan. biggreenbookshop.com/big-green-bo... Please share (and join!) Thanks. Currently we have £289.12!
It's interesting how that visit has exposed the ridiculousness of 'royalty' as they trot a bigoted fascist felon around their castle grounds in a fancy coach like an outsized toddler. Sends up the whole concept for what it is. 🤷♀️
😮 hope the drugs are working!

Sometimes you just can't give away books. Maybe I should try and sell some instead.

I can’t afford a day off but you are free then why not head up town?
I hope nothing as serious as it looks 😳🤞
All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, an Agatha Christie novel, a pouring rain, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, a raven keeping watch, and a basket of emotional support scones.
Too tired and it’s only Monday. But new kitchen hack unlocked. Sandwich toaster courgette. #allotmentlife
OMFG that is awesome! 🤩
That is an ace hat! 😍 Mine not as amusing!
So far today: mowing, litter picking, pruning ( Holly, lavender, rosemary and salvias). The big tree at the front of the main building is bending in this fierce wind like I have never seen before. Take care out there!
With strong winds in the forecast, here is some good advice about driving in severe weather from our partners @TheRAC_UK and @NationalHways #WeatherReady bit.ly/3WlxFF3

I would be tempted to save the seed and sow next year. You will probably get fruit but it might not be the same fruit.
Just found this petition. Barely any signatures yet.
Yes it depends what variety you grew. Do you know? Seeds don’t take up much space at least!
Faint but definitely there! 🌈
😮 extra resistance training!
It’s not very windy here in Herts yet so I visited the allotment to take down solar lights and put away chairs and anything else that looked floaty! 🤞

This is what resistance 2 overwhelming nos of racists looks like! #StandUpToRacism "We were blocked in Whitehall by 100,000 far-right protesters. Instead of panicking, people began to dance joyfully & firmly restated a clear NO to all forms of racism & fascism, & expressed support for all refugees."

Why isn’t THIS the front page story right now? Net migration to the UK halved from 2023 to 2024 (Government data shared by The Guardian). There is no problem with migration in the UK, it is fiction whipped up by the press. BBC News should be the one presenting these facts.
