It's fine.

Everything is fine.

I just sat on the swing seat in the garden, had a bit of a cry and reflected on how lucky I am to have nice enough garden I have space for a swing seat I can sit and cry on.

So that's actually a positive thing.

It's all fine.

*Nothing of interest too say.

Fair... I'm not normally that interested in athletics, but I'd probably watch it if there were wobbly bits.

Wondering if Tracey Brabin has put any thought into whether we should have a process for expulsion.

This is amazing.

If you get the opportunity please give them a very firm handshake while you look them directly in the eyes and say 'some random bloke called James on Bluesky thinks you are an absolute cock.'

You mean institutional misogyny isn't fun?

Won't somebody think of the loss of sponsorship and merchandise revenue?

Nice to think I'm part of a 'lot'.

Clearly not, if that bit of concrete was left totally unattended for the duration of Evri diligently delivering the parcel.

Well, it's been delivered to you, so obviously it's yours now.

This whole piracy thing is getting totally out of hand.

Obviously you did receive it, Kate. The parcel is there in the picture.

It's on the concrete. Inside, or possibly outside the porch that you may, or may not have.

Far be it from me to judge, but you don't seem a particularly well matched couple.

It's OK. Stand down, everyone.

It was in the very obvious place of the side table in the living room. I just don't go in the living room much, so goodness knows why I thought that was a good place to put it. 🤷‍♂️

Do any of you know where I've put my wallet?

You mean someone else could have helped?

I feel this is also what went wrong with weed.

We don't want absolutely stupifying super strength skunk. We just want some mild giggle herb please.

-I imagine is what someone might say who used to smoke weed, but hasn't for decades cos it's just too damn strong.-

Obviously that person isn't me.

Dundee Courier: DRUNKEN POLICE CHASE TEEN IN COURT.

Grammar is important.

I'm very in favour of us just commenting that 1953 levels of wine drinking in France was actually fine and perhaps we should see that as a goal, rather than a gaol.

Riesling is often about 9°, but nobody wants to drink that, except maybe with spicy East Asian cuisine.

The Green Party membership will be absolutely furious, but... well, the GP membership has never made much difference to stuff before. Why would they now?

Excepting minor detail that The Green Party is a democratic organisation, which could be inconvenient for Zack's pragmatic electionering.

No.... populists understand what is popular with the electorate they want to appeal to.

It seems to me a different thing to understand what actually appeals to the people you don't necessarily like, but whose support you need.

I'm not saying this is a good thing, just that it's a thing.

Wouldn't we all like to live somewhere like this?

Well, maybe not my wife. She'd worry about having to keep it clean.

Zack seems to have have an understanding of what is required to court people who actually vote.

I'm not sure the wider Green Party will agree, though.

I would go for 'often'.

I think largely it comes down to our ability to appreciate beauty maturing as we get older.

Also people who were just objectively 'nice' somehow end up looking more beautiful than the people who were conceited, self important assholes.

Girl in my class, who was a lovely person, is now a rotund farmer's wife going to cricket matches & stuff. I just love seeing her being so happy with life.

With bowling don't you just do the same piece of grass, but multiple times?

I am actually surprised at how surprised I am by how surprisingly pathetic Donald Trump is.

Incompetent & childish, I kind of had baked into my assessment of him. I just hadn't quite believed how astonishingly pathetic he could be if told 'no' and he couldn't realistically do anything about it.

Wow! That's amazing!
