Moroccan mint , the best for tea . 🌱
The pots done, I potter in the yard, trimming the last of the old dried stems. Zhuzhing the fernery, as I carry the brown crispy fronds a few yards to the bin, the smell of fern takes me back to youthful woodlands, the long leaves tripping us as we ran, that ancient musty smell all pervading...
Font, colour, framing, lighting, design; I think this is one of my absolute favourite vocal jazz LP covers of the 1950s.

Innit

I'm sure that the rolling Westminster circle-jerk won't satisfy the permanently online & the whatsapp addicted lobby hacks but it does sour the public realm some more & will empower the worst people in the country while adding to the general dankness of everything. But hey you've had your fun

Not sure why a dystopian warscape is such a ray of sunshine in today's world but very much looking forward to this thnx @manmademoon.bsky.social
