Lying on the grass because you are feeling lousy, you open your eyes to see a buzzard circling overhead. He circles endlessly right overhead like a vulture over the desert waiting for a meal. Good job my little guard dogs are either side of me to keep him at distance.

"It's coming home - It's coming home". W-I-N-N-E-R!. Award winning - actual silverware for the the trophy cabinet I do not have. The validation of a lifetime's work.

Watching a learner, moped, "delivery" driver try to cross the River Tamar by ferry. He doesn't hear or understand the safety instructions being given to him by staff. He also doesn't understand that while riding along you are not supposed to be checking your phone every ten secs.

I know it's been raining but it's harvest time and the jobs got to be done, and done right.

Quietly laying waste to my broccoli the latest batch of butterfly eggs wait patiently to turn into voracious caterpillars. As a gardener I should take decisive and lethal action. But since it is me, I will let them off with a very stern caution and the promise of a fly by later.

Music festival on Drake's Island, on top of the music festival (3 days in Devonport), could be a game changer in terms of the elected Lord Mayor for Plymouth. From random conversations there's a growing anger at what they feel is being inflicted on them.

Sitting in the evening glow with my good friend Edward VII. No not that one, the sweet pea bred in 1903, and he's still doing stirling service all these years later.

Something quite eerie about listening to the sounds of Neville Staples performing Ghost Town drifting across Devonport this evening. Still powerful after all these years.

"Storm" watching the opening of "Predator". She and her brother don't understand the reason for the tense music, and haven't seen the threat, but the focus is laser like and they're ready to rock and roll alien or no alien. #hairtrigger

A dozen F35As to drop "nukes" (how easily we use that nickname)? As plenty have said that makes little sense on so many levels, returns us back to a line of inter-service rivalry that most thought had been settled years ago. Brownie points for Starmer with big Donny I guess.

We will use Grok 3.5 (maybe we should call it 4), which has advanced reasoning, to rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge, adding missing information and deleting errors. Then retrain on that. Far too much garbage in any foundation model trained on uncorrected data.

Utter weasel. Of course no blame attaches to Michael Gove. It never has over anything and now he sits in the House of Lords. No, the real villains were the evil civil servants. Of course they were.
