Are there some landmarks that make you feel grounded?
You can't make this out, but can with the naked eye, is that you can see the mast if Winter Hill in the distance. It's one of 2 places that really ground me. I don't even know why.

Lots of the UK support SKS.
Bluesky for some reason has a anti starmer bias.
Threads is very pro Starmer (despite metas best efforts).
God knows what's on X these days.
YouGov polls are worthless.

Absolutely

I don't know why but I find this to be one of the most satisfactory definitions
"The F1 score is the harmonic mean of the derived Precision and Recall scores"

Ha!

No, we absolutely need stability right now. It would only serve the right wing.
Given the rest of the political landscape at the moment the Mandleson appointment seems so insignificant.

It's tiresome isn't it
It's like people actively want instability at a time when we absolutely least need it.

OMG that's amazing 🤣

I've been putting off looking into the medicine passport thing, last year I just didn't take my methotrexate... because... well... arsed I could be not.
But I believe you need a letter on NHS paper and a copy of the prescription - is that right?

two thousand! wow

I've reached an age where getting a new shed is truly an exciting moment

I don't think I have ever rooted for a right wing conservative before...

Project Hail Mary.
Oh my god. ❤️

Be less hassle than trying to sell them I suspect

This is fab stuff Coco!

I'm currently looking for a nursery that has crab apple trees, ideally native to the north west... small ask then :-D

For me Crocus went really downhill as well, I try and find a local nursery now when i can

Enjoy the silence!

I'm shocked to discover that the US President has sole authority to order a nuclear strike, and that even the military has very little power to say no.
There is a lot resting on the military to decide if the order is legal and coming from someone competent.

2nd April is a really sad day for me, esp this year.
If my Sister was still alive she'd have been 50 today, she died 19 years ago.
Then 14yrs ago today, my Mum died just 63. (My Dad a year later).
There should be a family party, instead there's no family. 💔

Rejoining the EU is so close I can almost taste the lack of roaming charges

And yet folks keep criticising Starmer for, well, everything, when Labour are doing more and more to undo Brexit
