Many thanks to @katerusby.bsky.social who must have been exhausted for signing my quite old t-shirt to make the perfect ending to @beautifuldaysfest.bsky.social. Her band's finale of Underneath The Stars had me welling up good and proper.

Foraging haul in Lymington, 7kg mirabelle plums and 3kg of damsons. Mirabelles will become approx 12 jars of jam. Maybe some damson jam but will mainly freeze for crumbles.

Had a proper feast at Billy's Burgers and Bar in Hobart for their triple patty, double bun, 'the beast'. Knife and fork unavoidable. Bonus points for having Sasparilla too.

Major deja vu. Same programme, different bank. Ten years ago, RBS (www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b...) - tonight looks like Lloyd's was doing the same to small businesses. Both were bailed out by UK taxpayers and part owned by the government, and the bankers still acted like complete shits. #BBCPanorama

Great day for a 75km tour of some glorious gravel paths in the New Forest, including cycling along an old railway track bed, where you can still see a platform, and rails buried beneath a road.

Cycling through Roydon Woods and finally snapped a Brimstone butterfly, which have been accompanying me on all my recent rides.

On a cycle passed Sway Tower - the tallest structure in the world to be built from non-reinforced concrete. No metal helping support it.

Cycle to Beaulieu Farm Shop on quieter roads that included a horse enjoying pond weed. Couldn't leave the shop without some Dexter beef short ribs and what looks like awesome pork crackling.

Taken around 9pm five years ago on cycle home after three of us 'tidied up the office' as we would be working from home for a bit. We had no idea what was coming.

By removing funding to USAID, the US government will reduce funding to US farmers, US packaging companies and US shipping. USAID was always in kind funding based on supporting US companies at above market rates. crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/...
