Saturday night. Edinburgh festival and The Fringe By The Sea are kicking off and my exciting plan is to sit on my sofa and see if the hedgehog comes back again this evening

Swear to god when I saw this I thought some poor seabird had got its legs stuck in tar or something and the crow had pecked its head off. Normally try not to disturb wildlife but I had to go and check or be haunted forever. Which is how I found myself right beside a cormorant as it woke up #birds

Sitting scrolling feeling hungry until I realise that although I *made * my porridge I didn't *eat* my porridge. No more phone time for me today

Towards the end of my job, helping colleagues with this was one of my main functions

Geese skeins honking overhead. Blackberries ripening. Edinburgh festival screams summer but signs are for autumn already. Don't know whether to plant salad leaves or winter greens

Watched a spider versus earwig battle in the garden and started to wonder if all our antagonistic online behaviour stems from calling it the Web

Yet the radio 'news' when I woke up was about Nigel frigging Farage. Again. Does that man OWN the BBC newsroom?

Sorry for wonky brain and lacklustre search skills but can someone remind me what's the website that lets you buy books online from local independents? Blackwell's, Waterstones and Toppings don't have The Ultimate Guide to Heat Pumps (Mlodzinski). The big river/angry woman site is last resort obvs

I'm assuming that what actually happened is they fired all the folk who actually understood what they were doing and were left with idiot devotees. Also I keep coming back to the park ranger who said bearproof bins weren't a goer bc of the significant overlap btwn cleverest bears & dumbest humans

Our local MP was apparently appealing for constituency opinions regarding all the data centre planning applications and mooted moratorium. Not sure he meant a 6 page essay with hyperlinks to further reading. Feel kind of sorry for him. Going to send it anyway

Big list of grown up sensible things to do this afternoon so I'm going in the garden to look at bees for a while. You know, as inspiration. Not avoidance, oh no.

Trawled the parental vinyl and saddened to discover that their Goodies LP did not survive the house move. Perhaps because, as a child, I loved The Funky Gibbon and played it A LOT It's on YouTube though, as apparently it made Top of the Pops in 1975 Can't seem to share it as I watched in DuckPlayer

This is the sort of nonsense you get when people start talking about creative work as content
