Won't the glass roof be unbearably hot in the summer? Otherwise, I approve!

Kyrgyzstan is on the verge of passing a law that would block people from updating their identity documents, restrict medical care, and limit how parents can support their own children. This affects real families. Sign now: a.allout.org/s/vdMXm/

Kyrgyzstan is about to deny people their basic rights
A new law would prevent people from updating their identity documents, block medical care, and restrict parents from supporting children who do not conform to state-defined rules. This is a human rights emergency. Add your name.

Excellent. Footnotes can be so dry!

People who look happy and well-adjusted rarely seem to be vox pop-ed. Funny that.

No, nothing comes to my mind. Maybe I'll consult AI

It might actually work!

Methinks congratulations are in order! Well done!

It is really hard to know what is for the best in such circumstances.

Long live such old-person music! Not so hot in London, but still boiling.

Haha, I am old enough to remember when you calling him "foreign funded Farage" sounded daring. Time has only proved you to be right.

Wasn't he going to populate Mars? Maybe his ambitions will come back down to earth some time, but obviously not yet!

I'll have to dust off an old recipe for marrow jam this year!

To someone who thinks a fire, far away from them, is nothing to do with them: these fires are like a bell and they are tolling for you!

Oh, you are teasing us! Good luck with the research.

Are you sure you haven’t been lead astray by fake news? I see little evidence of you fun fact in my daily life😂

The disappearance of bus services in rural areas is one of the most perplexing policy changes of the last forty years. For social cohesion and inclusion, it is crazy.

No. Moderate rain is good. The temperatures are too high for good harvests this year too.

Blackberries are the best. Fight for your rights: don't "crumble."

Yep, the ragwort collapsed under the onslaught, the mulein soldered on, with skeletal leaves and some flowers appearing.

Pete Holder @peterholder.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
Eventually they run out of plants where you are and ... probably the last ones turn into moths and fly off, but I've never observed that. I don't resent them: they are beautiful and eat plants I didn't sow like Muleins.

Pete Holder @peterholder.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
Now that they have eaten all my ragworts, they have disappeared. Doesn't seem a great evolutionary strategy.

'Demolish' is the right word, indeed!

They quickly eat themselves out of house and home!

Crikey. Do people really believe the world's problems are caused by the Rothschilds? Still?

If I was so bold as to post a photo of my scone, it would show one half covered in just jam, the other just cream. Then everyone would be pleased. Or, possibly, no-one 🤷‍♂️

I thought you were being overoptimistic in your previous post. I'm leaving it till the temperature falls - tomorrow.

This means you are normal

Aaah, the joys of retirement. Gives you more time to do things you don't want to do.

I spent 9 months getting my name on a charity account. My conclusion: banks do not want charities as customers.

At church today we remembered the driver who died and the injured. We were also reminded that five people per day are killed on the roads of our country.

Lovely display. My roses have produced precisely four roses between the two of them this year, so you doing well.

O stop complaining! Cyclists are mentioned in the second to last line. Can you aspire to more than that? 😜

Indeed. Maybe it's best to taste the food of our youth one more time and be done!

That bowl says "school dinners" to me. Was it as lovely as it looks?

Does Wes Streeting have more vision?
110
Pete Holder @peterholder.bsky.social · 14/05/2026
So Wes Streeting believes there is a vacuum instead of vision at the head of the 🇬🇧 government. What is his vision? Subservience to Palantir and privatisation of the NHS?
