How many of those are still MPs?

Die Hard Boiled Egg
(sorry, I'll stop now)

A really good read, that makes perfect sense to me.
I find myself being surprised quite often these days by people revealing they're 70 or over, when I'd assumed they were in their early sixties like me.

Pontarfynach, of course, for those who appreciate its proper name.

A stream running into a series of circular bowls carved out by water action.

And looking down, you can see how the rock is still being carved away.

Narrow, rocky gorge with bridges built above in layers.

Devil's Bridge. Apparently when it's at full flow, you can't stand here.

Is Strumble a cross between crumble and strudel?

BirdnetPi has detected 92 heron calls since June. Largely dawn and dusk.

Merlin recognised a mute swan for me from its wing beats, which was nice.
We do hear grey herons quite often - loud screech. But yesterday's bird of the day was a gannet, and I assume I'd have to be right in their colony to hear them.

It's the neighbours I worry for.
Seriously, hope you're sorted soon.

What is the Plymouth Know, and what was the matter with it? Good to hear it's recovered anyway.

Anyone suggested Berberis yet? Or Pyracantha if you don't mind the vicious barbs?

Good news for providers of alternative search engines.

Hmm.

A tribute to Fritz Lang?

Merlin detected one in my garden at Malltraeth last week but I assumed it was mistaken. Nice to know it might have been correct then.

This is probably my favourite of his. Closely followed by Midnight Special.

Lesson learnt: don't leave old power banks forgotten in a desk drawer. This is how I found it, batteries swollen enough to burst the case.

Looks like they took a while to get booted up though!

Survey work for OS or somebody, I'd guess.

If you see this, post a sward.

For what? It's ridiculous as a family car. Also hideously unreliable and a potential money pit. A friend lost thousands on a 2017 model with a string of major faults while the Ford dealer just tried replacing more and more parts. In the end it was basically scrap.

Tee hee!

For me, the whiff of wild garlic in the woods is one of the surest signs of spring. And it's lovely in a risotto.

It must be the day for it. I just replaced the lower hinge of a garden gate after it became loose. Used the Big Drill (TM) on the stone wall and resin to hold the hinge in place. That's not going anywhere.

"The phrase "love custard" is a Cockney rhyming slang, and it means "television". In this slang, the word "custard" is used to replace "television" because they rhyme. "
