Today I've had two encounters with people using Copilot or Chatgpt and all I can say is I'm embarrassed for these individuals.

I can't say I necessarily miss the American pizza eating style, but I certainly embrace the opportunities I am given.

Up early for a run in Detroit today. Pretty great city so far. Ready to start doing ISA stuff tomorrow.

Oh that's not good. I've not seen that before. Really gone after that cambium.

Being hungover for your first visit to a Getranksmarkt in almost two years is just the worst. Maybe a cold, crispy lager will heal me.

I need more strawberry vending machines in my life.

Great signage in Lausanne, Switzerland qabout felling this yew with a tight union at the base, which has recently split apart more.

Spotted a couple months ago that this bottle of ranch went off in April having mistakenly _just_ opened a later dated bottle. I knew I needed to put some work in. And here we are at the end of April, lads. I'm pretty smug rn ngl.

Leaving Cyprus today. Will miss the beautiful scenery and architecture, but will mostly miss the cat friends we made.

I find callery pears to be more cat wee than semen. But lindens are a special treat in the summer. 🙂

Wonderful first trip to Hatfield Forest with @ancienttreeforum.bsky.social today. Veteran oaks, field maples and hornbeams galore. Thanks to Jim and the team.

Looking forward to a special forest visit tomorrow. But first, we practice some good biosecurity measures tonight.

Ordered from my local pizza place. It's worth the price of admission to see the goings on in the pizzeria.

Yeah a little bit of work for I think a huge return on satisfaction. And maybe a little return on a good meal.

Lately I've been putting chopped up cooking ingredients into bowls before I start to cook. I feel like I'm doing a cooking show and it's brought me some joy.

Same. I can't believe I remember episodes from 30 years ago.

I just remembered I'm eating homemade pizza the next two nights. Need to get started on the dough soon.

Had a blow-out-the-finances trip to Australia. The next few months will be tight. What will I remember? The blow out, amazing trip to Australia, not the skint months.

Outrageous bloom on the plums and blackthorns in Tooting Common. It's 13 February. Go back to bed, kids.

Our Pinus wallichiana continue to thrive in Tavistock Square. There are three in total, all planted in the last 12 years or so. Would recommend for tough, urban areas.

A couple pine trees next to a fence in Tavistock Square. Plus a lovely, big plane tree.

We water for 3 years post planting at the moment and have done so for about 8 years. We've got well over a 95% establishment rate. But watering regimes will be dictated by climate conditions.

Well, the Builders Arms in Kensington is where I meant to go to today. 22 years since I moved to London. This would be my first local.

Then the George off Tower Bridge Rd. Guinness wasn't as smooth, but I enjoyed the country music.

Got off at Herne Hill, but it's taken me a while to find a pub in my wandering. Luckily the first up is a belter, the Clarendon Arms in Camberwell. Excellent pint of Guinness.

Oh, I also have to take the first train departing.

It was me. Just doing a bit of Wassailing. Didn't think you would mind.

Today I'm going adventure. Rules? I'm getting on a train to wherever I feel like stopping and going to a pub I've never been to. Let's see what happens.

I have a new postcard pen pal with a very old family friend from Indiana after finding out they are also avid postcard senders. I couldn't be more excited. We've already done our first exchange.

The government is going to let councils outside London ban pavement parking by motorists. www.gov.uk/government/s... It's been banned in London since 1974, and promoted in this memorable GLC advert.

Do travel influencers subsist on cakes and coffee? Where are the influencers eating hearty meals and drinking booze, while walking 30k steps a day?

Really lucky to have spent a bit of time in Catlins forest park on the south island of New Zealand last week in between the rain and wind. Felt properly other worldly.
