    I don’t know about size being everything, but it is for rights of way for boats/ships - 



    I've just realised what a great photo you took there. The Pilgrim Fathers getting cut up by a mere pleasure boat!  :o
     You don't see that every day.  o:)

    Just say, "No!"

    More dull & grey weather again, not inspiring at all.

    What a cheering picture of Whitby on this dank morning, thanks YBE. I've never been there but seen plenty of it on YT etc, I think I would like it there, well I would've, but the hills would do me in now

    I like the toadstools as well PP, like Dusty, I never see those about either
    Another of my "never haves" is eaten or seen a live Parmo, not local fodder here. Surprising how it has not spread around, like deep-fried Mars bars have.

    I've just checked, seems I could buy frozen ones, and I may even do that 
    When I was searching frozen parmo, Duck Duck AI came and helped, unasked, could he be my secret snitch from now on?

    Flu like symptoms continue, only slightly and seem to come & go, I was shivering wrapped in a blanket yesterday evening, but certainly slept well last night.

    Managed to water a bit, the trough of mixed annuals I was worrying over, doing well now & even has some pot marigolds in flower, with chance of self seeding there.
    The pansies wot I planted a week or so back have settled in well and are now showing signs of fresh growth

    Picked more ripe cherry toms from outside, the plants are still ripening at the moment
    Sampled one of the large unknown toms that appeared, lovely & juicy and with a touch of salt, it's heaven. Seed smeared for next year

    Try again with my ref Filbert photo, it's same size as I always use, 1000 pixels
    That failed, but here's a blackberry in blossom, same camera & method, gawd knows what's going on

    And, OT & as trial, here's one of my AI sorted photos, AI worked wonders on her, my Great grandaunt

    Anyone noticed the new 'interesting' button?
    That's going to complicate things 😵‍💫

    Farway my solution to acquiring figs


    I have no idea why the photo is sideways or how to change it but you get the drift 😉
    Hope it doesn't trigger poppy's vertigo.

    Very cold, wet and cloudy. The darkness makes me want to sleep 

    Tried the compost tomato, very much supermarket flavour but more tomatoey, guess it was one composted. 
    In fact the others have lost their sweetness but still better than shop ones.
    Much like growing potatoes from supermarket ones, better but not flavoursome.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    viral kindness .....kindness is contageous pass it on

    The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well
