I find websites like RHS & Gardeners' World a lot more reliable. ☺️ 🌱#UKGardening 👇 www.rhs.org.uk/biodiversity...
I'm guessing RAF. We were in Little Aden then Falaise. (REME)
I just had to Google you/your book as I was in Aden 1965-67. ☺️ (It is where I started school.)
And the civil war continues... Why can't human beings help each other instead of killing each other? 😢
Are they finding the homeless a place to live or just 'kicking the can down the road'? 🤔
Be afraid USA: @jd-vance-1.bsky.social Vance thinks Trump has taught him how to be a President. 😨
And did the 'chair' say 'no' to Trump or has the aid been cut? 🤷♀️
Should have consulted an expert. 🤷♀️
I don't think he knows what the word 'expert' means. 🤔
4) I have no moral compass @jd-vance-1.bsky.social 👎 bsky.app/profile/core...
So he's saying that the USA has a massive number of criminally insane' heartless' people running around killing people.. Maybe 'Mike' that's an argument not to give Americans guns. 🤷♀️
❣️ (replacing post with love)
They already are- through other subjects and life skills lessons. I remember (many years ago) explaining to a maths class why Galilieo was persecuted (politics of his time). Politics is everywhere - including the national curriculum. 🤷♀️

Just to be clear - this is not America. Although it is quite clear that with US money Farage will attempt to turn the UK into 'little America'. Spare us the self aggrandisement of a tacky Paedo President.
Perhaps they thought they were entering a lottery to win a £1m 🤔
People in glass houses.... Nigel Farage is paying yet another visit to his criminal benefactor The Paedophile President.
Reform won't stop the paedophiles. Only Reform UK will accept funds from a foreign criminal, ignore human rights and protect those that engage in criminal behaviour. Biggest donor is the man that does this 👇
The American people are realising that they don't have to deal with lawlessness and third rate tyrants in their country. They are using their votes to make America safe again. 👇 'A vote for a Democrat is a vote for Democracy'
Few things: 1) Trump is a genuinely nasty and disgusting person 2) His only consistent behaviour is - he lies 3) What kind of person would support a man that did this 👇
President Trump and his entire admin are working tirelessly to destroy the safety and security of working families We're doing it by removing qualified people (because they're black) and promoting our own incompetent shower all over America, especially in Blue states. bsky.app/profile/ping...
How does Nigel #Farage know what the SILENT majority want? Is he telepathic? 🤷♀️
Was it the lime - or the tequila it was floating in
they should invent articles that you cannot share if they require a subscription to read. 🤷♀️
Wait till he comes back from telling Charles III how to 'rule' Britannia He'll probably put a throne in the Oval office. 🤦
Guess I'll be taking my tea break here on Sat 27th September. 🤗 🌱 #UKGardening
Oops 🌱 #UKGardening #Gardening
The Dwarf Munstead Lavender went to seed. I now have a few jars/vases/bunches dotted around the house. I also put s few stems in my bins to make them smell sweet. 🤗
Why do people keep telling me to download a nap. 🤷♀️
#Beechgrove first ☺️
If the crime warrants a prison sentence, the criminal should go to prison. We should be asking whether criminals are fit to raise children.
No. He has not applied for permission to decorate a public space. He has not done a risk assessment to ensure these flags are not a hazard.
Good grief. 🤦 www.npr.org/2025/08/18/n...
ty for sharing this link.
In just the past 9 days, I have been out of the country for 5 of them. We have seen a reduction in crime rates. Glad I could break the law in another country.
Oh dear - looks like Trump didn't get a lasting 'peace deal' after all. Who'd have thunk it. 🤷♀️
You mean this Rwanda...? 👇 (Perhaps someone could define 'safe place' for us.) n.pr/476z3E8
Are you sure this wasn't written by a 6 year old. 🤔
Does he have to...really? ...I'm getting a bit old for camping out at Greenham Common. 🙄
I think Bond died of old age many years ago, just like his creator. I wish film makers would stop going over the same old tired formula ad nauseum. We really don't need yet another Bond film with the main character undergoing yet another personality transplant.
You are 88.89% correct.
Besides - he's already announced that the USA isn't going to put boots on the ground as part of any peace keeping force. Unless the USA is going to run the same risk to life, they really should take a back seat.
I would have thought that the Secretary General of NATO should take the lead. After all - NATO countries are all equal in status. Rubio has been talking such gibberish lately. He's likely to say one thing, then say the opposite the next day. 🤷♀️ Who put him in charge?

Of course. ....Isn't that what 'Made America Great'?! So - isn't that how America will be made great again? It is 1984 in the USA
Check again....They are as they have always been. I believe W Smith 'corrected' yesterday's prices. He loves Big Brother...
Big Brother is watching you USA. 'Who controls the past, controls the future...' Down with Big Brother. -1984 Read it. Protest and survive.
The Acer is suffering sunburn and heatstroke on one side... 🌱 #UKGardening

They should have a special PIECE Prize. 😉
Il a la capacité d'attention d'un moucheron. 🤭
"Hi Vlad - what's Article 5 again?"
And of course - Europe & UK need to be there just to make sure the Trump/Putin alliance doesn't accidentally carve up Europe as part of the 'deal' - you know how forgetful they are.
Yes because everyone of voting age in Ukraine is at home right now and will be keen to nip out to the polling/voting station (in between the bombing raids). 🤭
I have a theory that Putin threatened Trump. I can see no other explanation why the only 'concessions' were in favour of Russia or why the pursuit of a 'cease fire' has been abandoned.
But it is already 'enshrined' - in the UN Charter. 🤷♀️ How can it be that the USA & Russia are 'negotiating' on whether they have to abide by it?
The US has refused entry to Gazan children who were granted visas to go to the USA for medical treatment. The US admin says they are no legitimate but offer no evidence. A crime against humanity. Remind me again - why the King has to entertain this criminal. 🤷♀️
I want the water companies to save our rivers (and therefore our wildlife) because that is what they are paid to do.
Of course our PM is going there to stop Trump & his cronies from disrespecting Zelensky. It's also to make a transcript of the meeting so we can all dismiss the lies that Rubio et al will tell to the media. After all we have no idea what was discussed in Alaska - there are no reliable witnesses. 🤷♀️
He'll be making the case for 2 + 2 = 5 any day now.
Very apt given that he has a downer on overseas students & is busy banning books that he has never even read.
I'm a decade younger than you. I remember boycotting CFCs to repair the hole in the ozone layer, boycotting cosmetics companies for testing on animals & supporting CND amongst other stuff. Every generation has its battles.
It was clear in 2014 that Putin didn't want peace. Trump is a dangerous criminal. The UK should seize his assets to help Ukraine, and press the King to withdraw his invitation. Prince Andrew was punished for his shameful behaviour. Trump should get similar treatment.
If the USA admin disgraces itself and tries to insult you again: Stand up and say "Ladies and gentleman we will resume this meeting...in Kyiv. You will need to bring your own protection because all of my staff are busy fighting for our country. Thankyou for your attention in this matter." 🤗
Indeed - and given other countries the desire/need to increase their military defences. A bit like a second Cold War.
Massaging a child's ego is how you coax them into doing what you want them to do. 😉
ooh - now that would be great 'signalling'. After all - Ukraine is the most important nation in that meeting and it will be their peace treaty, ultimately.
I have a theory that Vance has realised that being Trump's VP was not a good career move. Perhaps, trying to avoid being in the same room as him as much as possible. 😉
Somebody invade his home and offer a 'deal' where he gets the kitchen and they get the bathroom.
They'll need to send a bus. 😀
Do they have enough red carpet for all of Zelensky's friends? 😉
I think that's why Zelensky is bringing a few of his closest friends.🤭
If you think it's lack of water - water them. But it's the soil that is the problem. Watering won't solve that.🤷♀️
Indeed.
Those sad tomato plants are certainly lacking in nutrients. You do rotate your crops - don't you? 🤔
Are you sure that's a Buddleia?
And yet the Armenia - Azerbaijan 'deal' has been rejected by Iran. Expect delays on the 'Trump's Route'.
I generally try to be loyal to my country, but on this occasion I am unable to 'tow the line'. I have signed this petition as I believe there are now sufficient reasons why this state visit should not go ahead.
Did Vance takes a holiday in the UK to avoid having to take part in the #Alaska farce? Is 'Give Trump enough rope...' his strategy? 🤔
#Alaska Next time in Moscow - Putin Or - Churchill... 🤔
'Pursuing a Piece'
In return for a bottle of 'perfume' perhaps... 🤨 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
....somebody checked for traces of Novichok? 🤔
I think there was typo error. IT was supposed to say: in search of a PIECE.
Having seen the farcical performance, I'm actually glad that he wasn't there.
Trump gives Putin 'the' clap.
I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out he doesn't even know.
Well...if you're going to put on a farce... Frank Spencer: Mmmmm....Betty. I've *trumped. *To trump = to expel air from one's anus (UK)
Oh dear. No offence but - Crawford is well known for comedy 'farce' in the UK. So if someone is putting on a farce - he's a good choice. This 'Honors' thingy IS a farce, isn't it...? 🤔
'You must worship no other president than me...'
Frank Spencer is not 'woke' apparently. 🤣🤣🤣 I haven't laughed this much since Vance told us (with a straight face) that 'you can't just wag your finger and say you're wrong and we're right.' (He was referring to Zelensky...who Vance wagged his finger at in that infamous WH scene) 🤣
Anything involving Frank Spencer (Michael Crawford) is always a disaster. 😆
#KennedyCenterHonors if you don't know you're wrong, you can't be right. It's only when you thought you were right that you were wrong. Now that you know you're wrong - you're right! - Frank Spencer (Some Mothers....) 😂
I saw a clip of this on BBC news. Reminded me of some 1970s low budget UK game show. Always had a non-speaking young woman, dressed provocatively unveiling the prizes. I thought the #BBC put disclaimers before showing things with archaic/offensive attitudes from the past.
I'm very surprised at Michael Crawford accepting an 'honour' from Trump. I thought he had more integrity. He was a UK 'national treasure' mainly for 'Frank Spencer' (Some Mother's do 'ave 'em' comedy back in the 1970s) where he famously did all of his own stunts.
And he is meeting with a right-wing US politician this week who has lots of money. I suspect there will be a lot of money in politics next week.
