I do like the idea of a choose-your-own-adventure business card... some of my activities don't really go hand-in-hand with each other. My chicken customers aren't really the same audience as my tree customers... One side of the card blank over a faded photo, for adding bullet points or crude sketches.

The spelling of Irish names is a real pet piamh of mine.

Friend of mine growing up had some absolutely massive koi carp in his pond. Never ate a single one. What a waste!

That's exactly what I had assumed, I was about to edit my post explaining my misconception, but decided it wasn't worth it. Yet here we are. But yeah, it'd be very easy to jiggle that flyer into a card. Lose some text, squeeze it up a little.

My opinion is worthless, but I think the card looks lovely as is, and doesn't necessarily need a logo. That said, I have asked an old friend who illustrates children's books to do things like that in the past. Failing that, ask a small child to draw a very simple tree using a big black felt tip pen, and either use it straight off, or modify it as necessary. This is the limit of my experience on the matter. Personally, I would flat-out refuse to pay someone any significant money to design a logo.

In that case, swap the daffodils for a few goldfish.

Helps deter nibbling pests 👍 Maybe go for wild garlic instead though, for a more permaculture forest garden feel...

Doesn't make processing them for firewood upon their demise any easier, either. Shite for biodiversity, too.

Have you got a zoomed-out picture for context? Apples are hardy bucks really, they'll do their best to just soldier on through all sorts of damage. Try and drain the hole as nepia suggests, but if the tree has sentimental value and you aren't looking for optimum yield from it, just let it do its own thing. Show a distance pic of the whole tree and its surroundings and there might be other suggestions for what you could do, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it to be honest. If you like the fruit it provides, start planning a replacement tree for when this one gives up the ghost... it's easy and fun to graft donor wood from your tree onto a rootstock, they make great presents for family members or friends of the original owner of the tree, that sort of thing.

You can maneuver your pole saw into the tricky-to-reach places in the tree with ropes and stuff!

Would baking soda and acid work, instead of going the yeasted route?

Don't forget to tell them that as well, not just us.

Well yeah, he did, a colleague on the mountain rescue team, he bounced down the spicy side of one of our mountains and didn't enjoy the ride, we went up there and scraped him off the rocks and carried him down. Bit shit, but there you go. Wife had died two months previous after six years with cancer, leaving the three kids as orphans. So, that God fella... bit of a c*nt really, isn't he? Nice dog, anyway. Hugely affectionate. I start to worry that no-one has even told him that Ocky isn't coming back.

You're just upset that you haven't been invited to the team meetings in our tree house.

3 feet of springy. Open-ish space, only gorse to snag, no major problems. A bit of a disagreement over navigation when the six horses took an interest, but they worked it out quick enough, thankfully. Poor wee sausage. His owner, my friend, died suddenly not long ago. I'm minding him whilst his kids are out of the country for the week.

He's not being thick, he knows how good he looks. I've accidentally taken on a foxhound for the week. He's a fairly high-energy sort of chap, so I've tied him to my 6 month border collie, until I'm sure enough of his behaviour and recall. That should tire them both out well enough. His name is Loki. I also have a cat named Loki, but I don't think it'll cause too much confusion, and anyone who knows cats will understand.

You are damn right there boss, we sure got put in our place! My buttocks are still red raw from the paddling you gave us! I think...? Edit Anyway, here's some other news. Hopefully there's still a positive outcome possible for some of the missing 🙏 Britons and Americans among missing after yacht sinks off Sicily in storm | Italy | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Fifteen rescued from sailing boat and seven still missing as divers try to reach sunken hull

Kind of disappointed everyone just glossed over the whet/sharp/knife line of punnery. I know it isn't fish, but the opportunity is right there.
-
I just think with some sharp decision making we could cut a lot of the hatred out of society. It'd be knife to see.

See someone shoplifting baby formula or sliced bread? No you didn't.

Jeez, that sounds like quite a nice idea, really. Be good to give it a go 👍
-
Sounds like you've got your head in the right place, something will turn up sooner or later. Don't do the offering to work for free though, that's shite. If it's work, it's work, and you should be paid for it. If you aren't worth it, you just won't be asked back, but don't sell yourself short from the get-go.

The figures for how many settle along the way would be interesting to see. I suspect there's a good few lingering around Paris and Marseille and such. And although Paris is lovely, in its own way, I wouldn't want to live there either. I'd probably press on further north too.

I'd say encouraging rape and sexual abuse is a fairly harmful ideology in any sane person's mind, so I guess we can start there? It's still waaay at the top of that slippery slope you speak of, and I don't really think we need to go sliding too far down it to be honest. Definitely for the rapey stuff, yeah. I understand what point you are trying to make though, and yeah, obviously both sides are as bad as each other, but I don't think we'd need to start locking people up for saying such radical leftist ideas as giving free school meals to children, or providing basic housing and drug addiction services to homeless people, no questions asked. But as we all know, such dangerous socialist dreams as these can easily lead to re-education camps for the bourgeoisie and purges for non-party-thinking sorts of behaviour. But we should definitely keep an eye on it, as you say 👍
