Last Notes npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1xda…jad3 It seems it's allowed but not in the vicinity of polling stations. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1xda…jad3 I thought they were not allowed to campaign once the polling stations had opened. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato Today I found a young deer in the back field with a broken leg. I called the RSPCA who took lots of details then said they couldn't help. They put me on to a wildlife charity. At the other end of the country. I called them anyway to ask for advice. They said the RSPCA has a legal obligation to arrange to have the deer culled, as trying to rescue it would give it a heart attack, that's not something they would do even if they were local. I called the RSPCA again, still not interested. #wildlife npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1g0t…tvm4 At this point I'm not entirely unconvinced they aren't all just trying to lose an election. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1gl8…q5y9 More people should use a banana for scale. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1c8l…sldj Mine has an old cooking pot full of stones and topped up with water. I have a robin I've called Washy who comes in and has a five minute bath every day. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato 4 years ago, I went to cut a path through the weeds to store a compost tub behind my brother's garage. Then I just carried on cutting stuff down, digging over the spare land, landscaping it with rocks from the back field, and making a woodland garden on the side of the alley. I dumped all the turf and weeds, roots and all in a huge hole behind the garage. Now, needing soil/compost for the allotment, I've so far had 6 barrow loads of rich, dark earth out of that hole, with more to go! #gardening npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato Evidence that Washy the robin has been indulging in his daily routine. One day if I'm lucky I might get a shot of him. #birds #robin #gardening #nature https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/463/731/646/665/698/original/917c5b56c65d47b5.jpg npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub13ru…67kn I'd help you out with those weeds if I could! npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato The problem for searching for a search engine that doesn't use AI is that you are using an AI search engine to search for it. I'm not sure, but I think this may act as a metaphor for far too much. IDK, maybe I should do a web search on that. #AI #browser #web #internet npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub18pl…4hjy The buildings are amazing.

She recognised me the second time we met, even though I didn't recognise her after so many months had passed. She said hi again the other day and rolled around playfully. #Cats #CatsOfMastodon #Caturday #CatsOfPixelfed https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/304/887/517/898/474/original/30e9f76eb6047cb8.jpg npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato The little fella Hendrix say hi for Caturday! #Cats #CatsOfMastodon #Caturday #CatsOfPixelfed https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/304/881/372/899/219/original/1588027156009385.jpg npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1t0c…rljr Wow. Now I want a robot tail. When is the Amazon I refuse to use on principle going to sell me this? Edit: I clicked on the link. By now Facebook and Amazon should have tracked my behaviour and be trying to sell me theoretical cybernetic monkey tails. Alas, I'm disappointed. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1a0g…ae8f Hi Hedgy! I now have several robins visiting my yard. I thought they were territorial, but I've seen at least three together going through all my pots. Once they learn how much I dig I'm sure they will start following me around like the blackbird. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1lnv…jwyn The problem with history is that no-one pays attention to it except historians, and we listen to them in exactly the same way a child listens to their parents. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato I was busy inspecting trees to see if the were budding yet and turned around to find this little girl watching me. Lottie often comes to visit. She's very affectionate and will climb all over me. Unfortunately, she also like to use my woodchip as kitty litter. #Cats #CatsOfMastodon #CatsOfPixelfed #Caturday #allotment #Gardening https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/106/837/115/423/891/original/8df7bd772f99e4a0.jpg https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/106/837/865/217/512/original/a5e0a67989301819.jpg npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1se6…cmph The way the world actually works when we aren't looking... that's magic. I think that's what gardening can be so fulfilling. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1se6…cmph It always amazes me when I check the compost in the spring and all the butt ends of my vegetables have turned into dark, crumbly, rich compost. OK, its not quite that simple, and it shouldn't really amaze me ( what else is going to happen?), but it still looks to me like some kind of arcane alchemy. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1e7p…nvup Chuckle of the day, thank you. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1lrj…ktcp That's cool. My neighbours dog used to bring all his toys around to play with me, one by one. At the end if the day I'd take them back so that he could bring them around again the next day. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1gl8…q5y9 Bittercress maybe? npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1pu6…u9fd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9-0WGo9Zrk npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1g0t…tvm4 Always worth a share too: https://newrepublic.com/article/175488/meet-shadowy-global-network-vilifying-climate-protesters npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1g0t…tvm4 Unfortunately, it can cost money to eat healthily, especially when a generation of people have been educated to subsist on quicker and more expensive carb-based pre-prepared food. Ironically, coming supply issues not-withstanding, a more wholefood vegetable rich diet would be healthier and cheaper. It would just take more time and effort to prepare food. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1lc3…r3st @npub1h7y…py5p All hail the Sex Olives! npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1wa0…6pm7 @npub1eav…g6f3 There are several techniques, but I'm low tech: I just cut it all down at the end of the season, chop it up and chuck it in a waste bin topped up with water. I keep adding it, scrunch it down then leave it to stew over the winter. In spring I have a stupid amount of plant food. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1eav…g6f3 I will be able to do that too if things get going, I now have so many comfrey plants. TBH I only make the feed because I can, I currently have little use for it, I give it away. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1eav…g6f3 Yes 😎 Well, its actually behind the garage because I set it going before the allotment was ready, but I'll move it up next year! npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato Little to do on the allotment. A bit of tidying up ( a good opportunity to do all those small tasks). The comfrey tea is steeping, the compost is composting, the leaf litter is rotting down, the weed composter is functioning. Time is doing its work until the warmth returns. #allotment #gardening #compost https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/111/591/704/068/561/732/original/847ec69cc07843f2.jpg https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/111/591/711/325/130/208/original/0b435f6c0088927b.jpg https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/111/591/711/352/361/717/original/cd52ef20585addb3.jpg npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1pes…0vfa Oh dear, Woke archaeology? Though tbh, archaeologists do tend to be some of the nicest people I've met... maybe she prefers her archaeology a bit more Nazi 😂 npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1mhp…6t73 @npub18lj…80hq That's what I would have said until it happened to me. I don't expect anyone to believe it but it's true. It was horrific, though surprisingly in some ways at least, not as bad as you might expect. Though in other ways it was worse. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub18lj…80hq Around two months with zero sleep. I felt wired, buzzed, too anxious to even sit down, much more intelligent, barely capable of most things including stuff like using the phone or writing. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1g0t…tvm4 Soon Shapps will be single handedly doing each cabinet job, assuming different identities and running backward and forward to make it look like he's different people. 😎 npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1t5m…9guy Also, pretty clever 🤔 npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1gmx…atcq In a toxic society, if you don't fit it, then you are doing it right even if you are in an extreme minority. Consensus does not automatically correlate with truth. I wish I knew this when young too. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub15zu…s7lx @npub1gf5…kpc8 No surprise Atlas have their nasty influence all over this:/ npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato Hendrix says meowdy for #Caturday We went for a little walk in the back field but I think he got the hump with me cuz my neighbour was making noise. https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/111/234/697/743/331/336/original/b99baf2388c323a9.jpg npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1g0t…tvm4 @npub1x5n…wt9j Also by the Byline Times, a little dated but an interesting read. I've heard much panic over the links to the idea of charter cities... https://bylinetimes.com/2022/08/15/beware-the-charter-cities-conspiracy-theory/?utm_source=pocket_mylist npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1a46…a6zk @npub1dl8…4tsq @npub1psd…9sr7 I have a funny feeling all the Tufton St thinktanks are just interchangeable members who probably hot-desk which bollox false consensus 'organisation' they are are going to pretend to be part of today. Transatlantic links to the Atlas Network, started by the IEA. https://newrepublic.com/article/175488/meet-shadowy-global-network-vilifying-climate-protesters npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1zt3…0v09 Looks lovely. I let 4 or 5 varieties of mint loose in the allotment. It may be a mistake, but they don't like being in troughs in the sun. Your comfrey is coming along nicely. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1g0t…tvm4 I really wish it wasn't. We are stuck with it though. The game is rigged. Really, badly, seriously rigged. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1g0t…tvm4 Unfortunately, realistically, that is their job. To enrich their lobbyist friends and convince the populace its all fine. Rich people know why they support them. Stupid people just fall for the rhetoric. Its basically a scam. Any semblance of actual governance is purely secondary. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1g0t…tvm4 Banking hubs?

I kid you not though, I once had a huge house spider run up the bed and jump in my mouth 😳 npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1euz…2t93 That's an excellent job and looks great.

It's trivial really, just annoying that I expected someone would nick it all and they didn't disappoint. That's what really grates, having my cynicism vindicated, despite my best efforts to ignore it. npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato Just been up to the allotment. I spent two days moving 20 barrow loads of woodchips up there. I dumped it on my land but outside of the fence as I hadn't room for it inside. Anyway, some enterprising soul has helped themselves to all of it overnight. It's probably best that I couldn't find any track or trace of where it's gone or who did it. Don't appreciate being stolen from, even something as inconsequential as this. #allotment #Gardening npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1hpc…hjn3 Yeah, I meant it's hard for me to go back to the original games, despite how I loved them, I've been spoiled by high Res graphics 😳 npub1lkxk7qpfhe864xsmkhwr62ry58tapx6mh2xphpxh358aktx4lucsnxpev0 MostlyTato @npub1hpc…hjn3 I tried.
