That looks like great fun.

I think that'll fit just fine. Thanks Sutton. In other news,

Ahh, I was hoping for something with a few more syllables to be honest. Similar in nature to this one, for example, plucked at random from the web. Waldeinsamkeit We talk about the “solitude of the forest”, that feeling you get when you are walking in a forest on your own. Waldeinsamkeit is a very dear term to the tradition of ascetic monasticism and to the movement of German romance, which promoted the rapprochement of Man to Nature.

I just can't help but wonder at what point people like you are going to get on board with the changes ahead. Will it be when rice is no longer available in the supermarket? Not just a dozen different brands, or a choice between basmati or jasmine... any rice. Or will it be when you can no longer visit Spain during the school summer holidays because there's too great a risk of quite literally poaching in temperatures and humidity that the human body - most life, in fact - is unable to deal with. I'm sure there's a word in German for the vague and intangible, sort-of bittersweet emotion that comes from observing people who have yet to come to terms with an horrific truth. They've got a word for everything, those Germans.

Entertaining read, you two. Cheers.

I doubt they'd let a youngun do that these days, no matter how character building.

The first block of work experience I did at15 was 2 weeks in the kitchen of a hotel, and I was given a part time job straight off the back of it which I had for the next 3 years until I moved away from home. So, already being employed, when the second block of WE came around aged 17 in 6th form, a couple of friends and I went on holiday to Dorset instead and volunteered at the steam railway near Corfe Castle, smoking weed and drinking like a teenager in the evenings, and repairing tracks, slash-and-burning overgrown cuttings, polishing the engines, and riding up and down the railway all day. Great little trip.

Absolutely no argument from me there.

Attempted assassination of Nancy Pelosi, her husband is in hospital undergoing brain surgery, which can't be much fun for a guy in his eighties. I wonder who will be targeted next.

Could be a fair assumption. I'm trying to spot some leaves around the base for a positive ID, but I can't make any good ones out, and they seem to be a good hodgepodge. Anyway, I just happened to stumble on this delightful little fact: The Sycamore is a member of the maple family, known formally as the Aceraceae. (The Latin genus name Acer means sharp, and is a reference not to the form of the tree itself but to its timber. Wood from maple trees, including sycamores, was used for making spears.)

I like the look of that, I'm getting one. Cheers.

Chimney soot in roof drinking water?
peds replied to Haironyourchest's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Don't, I just got a bit of sick in my mouth. Honestly, I'm not a squeamish person, but the noise of these burps was something else. Like smacking an octopus with a carrier bag of cold soup. -

I do, yeah, straight off the mountain. Very lucky. I'll be doing rainwater harvest for the polytunnels though. I met one of those chaps who drink their own piss once. Strangest thing. He kept burping with these really deep, resonant, wet-slap-sounding belches, like a 25kg paper grain sack filled with overripe fruit impacting tarmac from height. I couldn't explain it until I got talking to the guy, and it came up naturally that he partook of his own brew. I felt a little sick for the rest of the day. He was from Donegal. -

I'd be just as worried about the micro plastics in the rain water. The solution? Drink nothing but your own piss. -
No subtlety or nuance to the character. Poorly constructed, the plotline doesn't have legs. All the eggs were in one basket from the start and there was no chance for any build up, rendering the charade anticlimactic.

We are all trying to make it, and the vast majority of us don't feel the need to film every second of the day and stick it online. If it makes you happy, fine, but you need to be prepared to accept the criticism of any boring little video you choose to show people, especially given the particular context of your audience here... mostly professionals who'd do the job a damn sight better than what you've shown here. Sorry to bring you down buddy.

You might find it a little depressing to look into the techniques and systems used to propagate trees (and, for that matter, 99% of all plants grown commercially) in modern horticulture. God hasn't lifted a finger for hundreds of years.

Make as long a list as you possibly can of all the decisions Putin has made over the last 7 months that make any kind of sense. Turn over the paper and use the other side as well if you need to.

Why not just rappel straight down from the top of the tree instead? It'd be loads quicker. Anyway, Petzl ID is a great bit of kit for all sorts of things, but there's no way on Earth that I'd choose it for moving around in a tree unless it was the only thing available. Spend the money on something else... like a prusik...

Rots easily, great in a hugelkulture or to fill raised beds.

Okay, how's this for a joke... Having your own funeral or medical procedure postponed because of the state funeral. Wait... that's not funny either.

I don't know about Twitter because I'm not a part of it, but there's some pretty spicy memes going around the other corners of the internet. Right now I'm very much enjoying the official news blackout to preserve OpSec, only to hear about the ridiculous gains made when information gets released.

My parents are victims of cowboy tree surgeons who are now blaming my mother.

My yard? That's quarry dust not tarmac, blindings before a raft goes on. The car park is over there, with a big pile of 804 in the middle of it that the digger forgot to move. Oh well.
