A bit of a breeze today and there's cherry blossom blowing about everywhere. My tree looked great for a couple of weeks.

liar, liar pants on fire?

cycle.travel | route-planner and maps - traffic-free & quiet roads The best-kept secret of a great ride - find scenic routes with fewer cars.

I like cycle.travel . Gorgeous maps based in part on OpenStreeMap that I have contributed to.

I don't use AI to imagine code for me - developing an app is still a pleasure for me. When I see code by 'someone else' that looks like AI wrote it, I wish there was at least a comment attributing it to AI, it would be useful to know.

She says that her biggest concerns are fire and noise. Are batteries noisy? I can't say I've heard one. She lives next to a wheat field. That can catch fire, but she's not worried about that, why? Why does the BBC publish irrational stuck-in-the-mud bollocks as news?

Tice might lose some of the 𝑏̶𝑟̶𝑖̶𝑏̶𝑒̶𝑠̶ funding from big oil and that would be a shame. 😀

Taskmaster, HIGNFY, podcasts. You are in the public eye so much people will expect a scandal soon.

I wonder how the Labour party will be able to function without the Brain of Britain, Karl Turner. Maybe the people of East Hull will get the chance to elect someone eloquent enough to make his point in a more respectful manner. Let's hope so.

Black crow in amongst the branches of a tree with pink buds beginning to open

Crow in my cherry tree, the cherry blossom is almost out.

Looks like someone has forgotten to pay the hosting bill for freecadweb.org which is linked from the Help menu.

Really beautiful.

A bicycle has two wheels. Bi (two) cycle (wheel).

A vet listing how vet fees are made up on TV didn't mention VAT but did say that it includes between 10%-20% profit. That's a nice earner for the owner of the practice.

Is the strength of Dark Energy really reducing as DESI seems to show?

The full moon. The seas show up quite well as darker areas against the creamy surface, but the mountains and craters don't show well as there isn't enough contrast. The terminator in this image seems to be along the top edge and here you can make out the shadows to help define the shapes on the surface.

The full moon.

Yellow male catkins beginning to open with very small, red female flowers above.

The catkins on my twisted hazel are finally beginning to open. The must like the warm weather.

Why do the BBC keep referring to Andrew Mountbatton-Windsor as 'Andrew'? Everyone else is referred to by their full-ish name (Joe Bloggs not Joseph William Bloggs) the first time then their surname after that (Bloggs). AMW just gets called Andrew. Why?

Just saw something in the southern sky, a fiery trail heading east with three main lumps and lots of smaller bits.

Pedestrians (and cyclists and horse riders) have a right to use the public highway, using a vehicle on the public highway is a privilege which can be taken away (lose your licence to operate a vehicle). This right will be fiercely defended.

A few birds at the far side of a big lake.

Lower Derwent Valley is very flooded, as expected. The birds could come closer, but they dont. Lovely to be out in the dry and the sun.

Look North East Yorks and Lincs is going full culture wars recently. Why is Levy still presenting this crap?

Just how far down in the right-wing barrel can Look North East Yorks and Lincs fall. Really scraping the sludge off the bottom of the barrel today.

Is it time for Mr Levy to retire? Or is it an editorial team and Levy is just the mouthpiece?

Starmer's time is up. So who should take over?

A small, green and yellow bird with distinctive black eye patches perched in a tangle of branches and twigs.

A greenfinch blending into the mossy colours of the bushes

Please don't call him Boris,
It's the name for a cuddly toy

He's not dopey or stupid or amusingly ropey.
He's lazy, duplicitous, slippery, wet soapy.

He's no fool, no joker no harmless buffoon.
He's a cynical calculating, racist goon.

Just call him Johnson - another word for Dick!

Hmmm, works on my phone but not on my laptop. YouTube is usually reliable and performs well, so this is unexpected.

Looks like YouTube is down again. Makes me realise how much I use YT to research stuff I want to make.

It seems wood pigeons like ivy berries

You may have said this outside of the clip, but put a PIN on your sim card, so it can't be used in another phone they do the PW to. This prevents getting 2FA auth by text message using an alternate device. If they get access to email they can change PWs and gain access to much more.

If trump continues with his claim on Greenland, all of Europe should boycott his farce of a World cup. Maybe we could hold a few friendly matches in Europe instead.
