Inexplicably, Trump is wants to sent a hospital ship to Greenland. Denmark rejects Trump’s plan. Greenland has free healthcare and are well able to handle their own health situations. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/22/u...

Working from home proving more stressful than I feel is necessary
There are no words to describe this. People who do this are an utter abomination...when are we going to learn that we have a choice? Do unto others: You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against your kinsfolk. Love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD. We are all kin - Enough!
Trump erased scientific finding that climate change endangers our health & environment. No limit on carbon dioxide, methane & other greenhouse gases causing heat waves, drought, fires & extreme weather.
Trump is too old & compromised to grasp climate in crisis

Really stark data from @sheltercharity.bsky.social showing how women carry the burden of the rental crisis.
Women make up ~60% of adults in homeless temporary accommodation, and single mums make up a third of all people in temporary accommodation, though they only make up ~2% of the UK population.
Quite so.....we need to do the right thing now or we will be home a mere blip on the fossil record...actually, that is the norm....

Some excellent goose watching in North Norfolk over the last week. A notable influx of White-fronted, Barnacle and Tundra Bean Geese joining the Pinkfeet flocks. The Netherlands is most likely the origin of these birds. Certainly livened up the grey weather.
A Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus) and a Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum) were getting a drink of water on a birdbath in Norman, Oklahoma, United States on January 23, 2026.

Pipevine update!!
A couple weeks ago I shared the little miracle of Pipevine flowers I had found, now look at how much they have grown!
This vine is the only thing that Pipevine Swallowtail butterflies will lay their eggs on as the season progresses.
The Prime Minister says he changed the Labour Party.
He's right. He changed it from a party of principle, workers and peace, to a party of patronage, the establishment and war.
Poverty, corruption and complicity in genocide. That will be his government's legacy.
