Never really liked this song. Guess it's never too late to change opinion though. youtu.be/dtC1W-6hwIU?...
Black. Black. Black! Like the clouds of death that follow me into the Forest of Doom! And hide in the wardrobe of darkness! Black!

Yes 😁
Damson crumble. Did the crumble in the food processor and added rolled oats and pecans. Not harmed by the use of a sugar substitute either.
I told her; you've let me down, you've let Bob down, but most of all, you've let yourself down.
Should've been 2 x gin and 2 x vodka, Bob. But one of the Kilner jars exploded when Mrs P poured hot water from the kettle into it to sterilize it 😬
🙏 I'll post some pictures of the extraction. It's bound to be a comedy 😆
My First Honey Harvest. Estimate about 12.5kg in this box. Going to a be a messy job processing it! For anyone worried; there was another box of stores (and another 50% brood 50% stores) below this. So the bees will have *plenty* to over-winter on. I will also be supplement feeding them.
Two litres of damson gin and one litre of damson vodka started. Looks a bit shit right now, but I have hopes. -- P.S. we don't have a green worktop, that's the trees being reflected from outside.
I don't know who needs to hear this but there is an Emergency Alert test - Sun 7 Sept, 3pm. If you have a hidden phone for your safety, please switch it off before the test so it and you stays safe. Tell anyone you think needs to know lovelies 😘 www.gov.uk/alerts/publi...

Why is everyone so angry these days? Can anyone explain it? Come on, explain it to me. Explain it to me NOW. COME ON YOU FART-FACED FISH FUCKER, EXPLAIN IT BEFORE I SET FIRE TO YOUR FUCKING PUDDING. I DEMAND A PISS FLAPPING EXPLANATION FROM ONE OF YOU TWATS BEFORE I BURN IT ALL. Thanks in advance.
Well, I didn't vote for you.
You know, I'm actually not sure 🤔
Autumn arrives. Winter approaches bringing the rain. Soon Mrs. P and I will look like Dennis and his mum from the Constitutional Peasants scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Sometimes great things come from the "chuck it all in" method 😆
You must try to go one day, if you can. The air is so clear up there. Those mountains in the background were miles away, but looked pin-sharp. Pretty little butterflies and flowers up there too.
So it goes, my friend. So it goes.
The glacier waters are otherworldly.
*slurp* Like the idea of black beans. Not tried that 👍
😂
That's Wales for you! We're off there the week after next. Raincoats will be packed.
Sorry to hear that. That's a bugger ☹️ Hope you can at least enjoy the scenery.
😀👋
🙏
On this day 2013; Lac de Moiry, Grimentz. Walking holiday. Better times 😔
Acceptable range. Within parameters 😬
Mike, I don't mind admitting that Mrs P and I were in fucking tears last night.
Umm. How darkly dark... exactly?
Going to start watching this tonight 👍
Stolen from FB because we need it here too
Grueling watch. Did Mike Leigh direct this?
ITVX
Fuck me this was good. I'm utterly emotionally exhausted.
And how about settling down in front of the fire with a nice hot toddy?
MAJESTIC!
🤷♂️Maybe not. I certainly wouldn't stack tomatoes like that, you're asking for spoilage down the bottom of the pile.
These "allotments" and "compost heaps". They didn't look anything like this, did they?
I have no idea where Libraria is but it certainly seems to produce a disproportionate number of book shepherds.
Lots of speculation flying around already that the recently released press photo of Donald Trump is in fact a body double. I hate to disappoint you, but after careful photogrammetric analysis I can confirm that it is in fact him.
Lots of people saying it's not him. Shame he's not facing the other way, then we could tell by the terrible wound to his ear.
That looks like a very happy man ☺️
Dang that looks good!
eels are wondrous and in decline. Determined to reverse that collapse, the Somerset Eel Recovery Project is weaving together science, folklore and community creativity to bring back not only the eel but a lost sense of local identity. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
He does though 😂
Look at this cunt. I mean, look at him. He looks like John Voight fucked the concept of squalor, had a child, and that child got trampled on by a very large elk. I wouldn't want to be him for a marillion pounds sterling. Piece of fucking shit. Fuck him and his fucking Tonka toys.
🎉IT’S PUBLICATION DAY!🎉 My first legal thriller, #TheCutThroatTrial! The mutilated body of an old man is found in the street. Three teenagers nearby, caked in his blood. Each points the finger at the others. Each has his own story. Available NOW in the links below 👇

NIBBLE NUTS!
That's a better idea. To be honest I've got a lot on at the minute with all the fruit and veg needing harvesting and processing.
That's all one wants really, isn't it? Someone with a tiny fucking shred of integrity.

'TIL I DIE!
Might have one of these made up as a giant flag and flying it chez Nice Painter. Partly as a way of causing confusion and consternation amongst the Reform-voting demographic around here, but mainly because JUST FUCKING LOOK AT IT! -- P.S it's the unofficial flag of Saint Pierre and Miquelon
Done like a done thing from Donesville 👍
It'll be a humane crushing, obviously. We're not MONSTERS!
What what!? Do I need to do something?
🙏
Can I tempt you with a bottle of the damson gin and vodka we'll be making in the next week or so? Guaranteed 100% rubbing alcohol, none of that expensive rubbish.
👍
No need to cook them either, they were SO soft and ripe. Have held one crumble back from the freezer to have tonight.
You'd think we'd cooked those mirabelles / greengages in sugar or covered them in syrup, but that's how sticky and juicy they were after simply halving them and taking out the stones (which basically fell out without demur).
Friday's looking good for me.
The Famous Five are enemies of the Revolution (especially that fucker Julian). They will be dealt with accordingly; they will receive neither mercy nor a sandwich.
Jalapeños pickled, batches of plum crumble prepped for the freezer. Too rainy to work with the bees so made some apple sauce instead, now cooling ready for bagging and freezing. Bit late to crush the capitalist system now, will do tomorrow.
Annex Endon! Barricade Baddeley Green!
She'll be high and dry at the minute. The bloody thing is only about 1/3rd full 😟
Have at it!
😆✊
✊ You are chief strategist 👍
The trouble with Reform is that they are hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma.
May I assume that you are feeling repressed and would appreciate some assistance?
Is there anyone in Leek and surrounding areas who'd be interested in overthrowing the Reform-led council and forming an anarcho-syndicalist commune, taking turns to act as a sort of executive-officer-for-the-week? (with all the decisions of that officer being ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting)
P.S. they can still pack a punch though if you pickle them whole and retain the white inner veins and seeds which is where most of the capsaicin is.
The pickling softens them up a bit texture-wise as long as you leave them long enough (a week or two at least). The raw heat is taken away as well and they become more what I would describe as piquant.
OH NO TOO LATE! 😲😆
OK. Finally got round to looking that up. Let me know if you need a hand.
I think you're absolutely right and Mrs P concurs.
P.S. the golden ones are exceedingly sweet.
Not sure what variety they are Bob, but we have dark ones (steady!), golden ones and greenish ones. They're all from our trees though. We've had the trees for 9 years and barely had a handful in all that time. This year we have an abundance. The weather or the bees or both I wonder?
Not proud of it ☹️
Just been reminded of this 😂 God I love that man more than life itself. NOTHING MUST HAPPEN TO HIM 💘 #NowPlaying #ChristopherWalken youtube.com/shorts/J1sRV...
*sigh* well I'll have to do it myself then AS PER FUCKING USUAL
You are welcome to bring your own but Mrs P is very insistent that I personally avoid all contact with naked flames after the July BBQ "incident" ☹️
Well, it would have been but Mrs P has informed me that I now have to clean the grout in the shower as well. Fumin'! 😡
If you can assist in the purge of the bourgeoisie you get 1 jar of jalapeños, 1 jar of honey and a WHOLE crumble.
We can, but we'll have to bring plenty of carrier bags to put it all in, that shit's BULKY.
Can you bring some sandwiches because I don't think I'll have time to make any, 'k thanks 🙏
Well, I have to clean the oven as well, so about half 4 by the swings?
Tomorrow I will be pickling jalapeños, making plum and apple crumble, starting my first ever honey harvest from the bees and mobilising the peasant class in order to destroy all fetters of the current social order.
Yeah it's pretty grim, but it's fine once the program starts playing.
That's the one. His "manifests"
Itvx 👍
Things aren't great at the moment, but we started watching this last night and it is great. Stellan Skarsgård is great. I mean, it's not a barrel of laughs. But it *is* great.
Ah. OK. Didn't really think this through properly, did I?
