[Spiders!] Photographed by my husband at the local allotments open day. My iPhone 16 seems to have arachnophobia as my pictures just came out fuzzy (with perfectly focussed dry grass surroundings). She’s a wasp spider (Argiope bruennichi), harmless to humans and a […] [Original post on tech.lgbt]

Before and after tieing in the fan trained cherry tree for the year. It didn’t need pruning (I’d shortened some branches in early summer), so it was just a case of tying things in to keep the shape. #Gardening

We had a royal visitor to the garden today! She was huge, and especially liked the agapanthus. #Gardening #Bumblebees

The light was really eerie when the eclipse was at its full extent. What looks like a crescent moon is actually a refection of the sun… #eclipse

I have no idea why I bought this product. At all…

The garden is generally looking rather arid at the moment, but the agapanthus, verbena, and one of the dahlias are doing rather well. Hopefully the other dahlias will start showing off soon… #Gardening #Flowers

[My mug.] At some point recently I’ve developed an ingrowing hair on my chin, which has become a rather nasty scab. To give it a but of light and air (and regular dabbing with lavender oil) I’ve resorted to The Lemmy for a while. I suspect this will last the rest […] [Original post on tech.lgbt]

We bought a patio parasol, so I’ve embellished it with fairy lights!

Breakfast in the garden, inspired by the delicious breakfast we had last weekend at a B&B near Ipswich.

A neatly set outdoor table features a variety of breakfast items, including a bowl of granola, a bowl of sliced strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, yogurt, and glasses of orange juice. A small vase of lego flowers decorates the table, which is paired with blue and white plates and bowls.

The 14th Wedding Anniversary gift, by some schemes, is ivory, which we obviously wouldn’t countenance (even if it was legal) so we bought a Merrythought elephant (which are made in Ironbridge - where we spend our holiday last week). The official name is ‘Little […] [Original post on tech.lgbt]

Today is our 14th Wedding Anniversary. Normally I’d have the day off, but when I was booking holiday it was uncertain if we’d have a full team and my 2IC had the day off to recover from the Metallica concert he had tickets for. Steak is one of those things that is […] [Original post on tech.lgbt]

Last day of the holiday, after the Kinver Cave Houses we went to Much Wenlock and explored the ruins of the priory. The second abbess, St Milburga, apparently has one of the miracles attributed to her as the dispelling of a flock of geese that were destroying the crops….

One thing I will say about my father, he was very handsome, in a Buddy Holly kinda way, in the 50s and 60s…

Strawberries from the raised bed in the greenhouse and cherries from the fan tree in the garden. Picked the cherries slightly pink because we are going away for a week and they’ll be gone when we get back otherwise. They are sweet enough to eat pink, so it’s all good. #Gardening

I am very partial to near rows of vegetables, and NT Canon’s Ashby provided in spades! I particular admired the deep red flowers on the broad beans! #Gardening

This is the biggest lego set I’ve ever done! It’s over 4000 pieces and has 4 mechanisms. Probably not the ideal start after a big break (last set I did was the Lego Ideas 12th Doctor, Clara and TARDIS) but it was (mostly) a lot of fun! #Lego

A colorful underwater scene created with Lego building blocks, featuring various fish, anemones, coral structures, and aquatic plants within a decorated tank. The background is blue, simulating water, and the setting includes details like snails, shells and rocks on the sandy bottom.
