The famous ChomChom roller that all of us cat types swear by has had a bit of an upgrade -- Black & Decker now make one and it's even better than the original, IMO. Tip: do a back-and-forth motion, not long sweeps. Affiliate link, may benefit wonky moggies

Did u know? When caterpillars turn up to nibble on your brassicas in the summer, don't spray,or pick them off, just bide your time. Once caterpillars have had their fill, they'll pupate, leaving your brassicas to recover, then it'll be your turn to nibble. Mine are bouncing back,beautifully.🌱🌿🇬🇧🌿🌍🪲🐛🥦

The story begins, as so many of my stories do, in an ancient church in the middle of a city. But it's not now. And it's not hundreds of years ago. It's the 1960's

The story behind 'I Will Survive' was entirely new to me. How meta. (From Simon Napier-Bell's entertaining Substack.)

In fact, her passion to survive didn't actually grow out of a break-up, but from a snapped spine when she fell off stage. After six months in a body cast Polydor threw her a bone with a new single — a clunky disco version of Substitute, an old Righteous Brothers hit. The B side was a song her producer had written that no one wanted. At Studio 54, the DJ preferred it
— and played it.
By the end of 1979 it had been number one across the world and Gloria Gaynor was
immortal.
