Today’s allotment haul
I love doing searches for older @rsc.org journal articles - it reminds me of late 90’s search features and dialup speeds - all the nostalgic feels
The Telegraph. How I became a Labour school-fee exile in Dubai Sick of Labour's private school tax raid, Isabel Oakeshott decided to swap the rolling hills of the Cotswolds for the desert of the UAE. Isabel Oakeshott Published 25 January 2025
I don’t want a single penny from British taxpayers to pay for wealthy tax-dodgers in Dubai to safely come home.
They thought they didn’t need us because they greedily refused to pay their fair share … let Richard Tice and Isabel Oakeshott come crawling back with their own money.
💯 also, later in the season they make excellent roasties and oven chips!
Spent a good two hours wandering round my house one evening trying to locate the intermittent weird whistling noise. Turned out it was my left nostril.
Picked up the seed spuds from the allotment trading shed today: 4 kg of Charlotte and three each of maris piper and Picasso - exciting times!

Dry January was great, but the first G&T of 2026 is slipping down quite nicely!
Very glad I planted the garlic in raised ridges!
What a lovely story
I’m old enough to have been in that story!
Hopefully they won’t waste a single penny of tax payers money on that festering fish corpse
Happy days!
If (when?) it fails I’ll give those a try next year! 😂
Had very little success with onion sets over the last few years, so trying from seed this year. 🤞🤞🤞
Nice bokeh on the blue tit shot!

Board of Peace - Season 1
White House tweet with Trump walking with a penguin toward a Greenland flag
The hazards of failing first-year biology: you invade the wrong pole.

Just a shame that in the UK we have to wait until October before we can get our hands on any!
It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions.
Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.
Ordering squash and aubergine seeds - excited for the new season!
Arses!
