Glad tidings to you all from the Potato of Love

Excitement here at Chez Lez! The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered has landed. 11 years since the game's release, a year from Songs of the Past expansion and 2 years ahead of The Witcher IV. So far, so buggy - but nothing too bad, mostly dog having physics issue when trapped behind tree kind of thing

And then as suddenly as it happened, it was over.

Not sure why Bluesky autocropped this, the sign is in this one.

At the recycling centre - statues of the Holy Family and a sign saying 'children must be kept under supervision.
To the right, in the undergrowth, is a skeleton and an old bike. So if the statues are having the day off the skeleton will go after your kids for being unruly in a dangerous environment.

Not sure why Bluesky autocropped this, this is what it is supposed to look like.

They're a larky lot up the recycling centre. The Holy Family (and what's that thing in middle? Don't think it's the baby Jesus) are watching your unruly kids. *disclaimer* Watching, not protecting. Look closely to the right of the HF and you'll also see a skeleton hanging in the undergowth.

Well, Madame Markup and the Formerly Known Prince are getting dragged in a number of humorous ways. Like this:

Great, now even the kitchen scales is making a dramatic statement.

It is the first of September and our Sedum (Autumn Joy) has displayed it's self- awareness by darkening from pale pink to deep pink literally overnight.

Is there an award for picture editors? Because the Guardian is doing great work lately and, imo, it should be rewarded.

Hey, Grim Reaper, that's ALSO the wrong goddamned 80 year old. God *almighty* :( Rest in peace, Tim Curry 19th April 1946 – 25th August 2026. What a legend.

Over the last 56 years I've had many reasons to be glad to live in the town with the east of Ireland's only West-facing harbour. Today, I am especially happy. Our viewing place is some comfortably shaped rocks #eclipse

Happy sweet 16 to our Glinda. Last night I caught her on the table where she was attempting to bat my sunglasses off the table. But it had gone midnight and there is no telling - offs on birthdays.

So, I briefly popped out to the garden to take the morning air and the truth was out there.

2/2 I planted for later colour this year and it's beginning to happen. So, now I just feel like the garden is just taking a breather before the later plants bloom. This lovely Japanese anemone (Dreaming Swan) is the first to show.

Photo of Japanese Anemone (aka Windflower), this is Dreaming Swan. Pink buds open to a bright white with a flush of light pink in the centre. They have wiry branching stems on which the flowers nod, revealing the lavender blue backs of the outer petals. I've planted these under a mature purple berberis and among Bishop's Form geraniums.

Also a newly hatched Painted Lady has been getting its strength up on the inside of the kitchen window since last night

Huge increase in butterfly and moths this year, happily. It's hard to say if that's a general increase or things we've done differently in our garden this year. We've 2 types of Hawthorn now and I left a small thistle patch. There was a lovely magpie moth on the kitchen floor last night.

Trish @unknownquantities.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

There was a lovely peacock butterfly hanging out on the kitchen ceiling just now. Liz guided it back into the garden.

I'm really glad it's OK - it seems to be the only surviving offspring of this couple.

It walked in to the kitchen for a bit and had a wash, so we knew it wasn't stressed. Eventually I walked out the front door and it followed me down the drive. Then it walked off around the corner and I didn't see it again. Until! I spotted it on the neighbour's roof today, still limping but airborne

Trish @unknownquantities.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

We had a seagull fledgling stuck in the garden yesterday. Originally it was stuck on the windowsill. I used a towel to put it on the grass, but it was limping and within seconds was attacked by an adult seagull. I talked to a wildlife rescue who said the garden wasn't a safe place to release it...

Judging of the annual Lovely Bee contest has begun. Glinda, being a cat, can't make a decision so they are all judged to be equally lovely every year.

Liz got great footage of a bee who nipped in to our kitchen to have a wash.

Bird action this morning. We noticed the ground is so dry and hard that that young birds weren't having much luck with worms etc so we put out 2 seed ballls. The balls are eaten by the end of the day and then we sterilise the feeders. Camera is a bit NYPD:Blue. Birds move as fast as New York, man.

St John's Wort* flowered today, near as damn it to the Saint's day for which it is named. Glad to see that changing the type of Bergamot I planted near it this year has not resulted in fisticuffs, so far. *Hypericum perforatum, and if you're posh English you might pronounce it Singen's Wort 🤷

Came into the kitchen to see Glinda on the counter - where she is not allowed to be. She was lying in a patch of sun and had nodded off. Plant leaves were resting on her head like a fascinator.
