📆 Grabbed my previously picked out August TBR 👇 as I hadn’t changed my mind on anything, though I added “Gallowglass” which I’d started in late July. A mix of podcast-related picks (the eps are piling up 🫣), books I’ve been reminded of on 🦋… 📚⚔️ #FantasyBooks 🚀 #SciFiBooks 🪐📚💙 #BookSky 🦋
Tufty McTavish📆 Have just picked out a tentative August TBR! It certainly won’t survive contact with the rest of this month, and I have no idea what 🎱🎲 may yet suggest later this month on #BookTube, but the books are piled up for further consideration 🤓 📚⚔️ #FantasyBooks 🚀 #SciFiBooks 🪐📚💙 #BookSky 🦋

👨💻 Having frequently completed these mandatory ‘courses’ at work during Teams meetings (leave them playing in the background and then guessing the answers), this set me wondering if my manager was receiving these same emails* during said meeting 😂 *Probably not, they were group-based than dept.
fesshole 🧻At work i have to complete training modules by a certain date. I always leave it until the last minute so my manager gets dozens of emails saying "Rob has not completed training module 1. Rob has not completed training module 2". My record is 24 modules
🌿 Sometimes I’ll let a plant go to flower and learn what the seed saving strategy is for them. Dill produces multiple flower heads which I noted are festooned with seed 😳 Even the 🐞 wants in on the action ⬅️ Also saved a bunch of Coriander as well ↘️ 👨🌾 #Gardening #VegetableGrowing #GrowYourOwn 🌱
Tufty McTavish🧅 I struggled to get Chives going in my herb patch, trying a couple of seed packets over a few seasons. Eventually got a few growing last year which have spread out widely this year. So much so I just discovered I have plenty of fresh seed 🤗 👨🌾 #Gardening #VegetableGrowing #GrowYourOwn 🌱
🎧 The one in which @zoegrunewald.bsky.social looks at some of the headline, eyebrow raising and strange Restore policies, while @nndroid.bsky.social is in fine form, giving a scathing summary 👇 “I think it’s ’common sense cosplay’.” 😆 🇬🇧 #UKPolitics 🗳️ #Podcasts 📻

🍅 By sheer coincidence I’ve just been harvesting a fresh bowl full of ripe pink/black/red v.Rebel Starfighter Prime Tomatoes on the exact same day as last year 👇☺️ These are large oxheart Tomatoes, and my two plants are rammed full of developing fruit 🤗 👨🌾 #Gardening #VegetableGrowing #GrowYourOwn 🌱
Tufty McTavish🍅 The “Rebel Starfighter Prime” Tomato variety that I’m growing for the first time is producing a huge volume of large heart-shaped fruits. Today’s haul is from just one plant 😯 They’re sweet and tasty 😋 Fair stuffing my face with them at the moment 🤢😆 👨🌾 #Gardening #VegetableGrowing #GrowYourOwn 🌱
🍆 Ummm, chaps, I think I may have an unexpected Aubergine glut very early in the season 😳 I normally do get a few, but this volume is unprecedented in the McTavish Manor Gardens 🫢 I have been looking up Aubergine recipes in my #CookTheBook project 🤢 👨🌾 #Gardening #VegetableGrowing #GrowYourOwn 🌱
Tufty McTavish🍆 Noticed some fruit developing on my Aubergine plants 🤗 These plants take ages to grow, so this may be the earliest I’ve had fruit setting. Normally the fruit seems to arrive much later, in August. I have a few new recipes to try this year 😋 👨🌾 #Gardening #VegetableGrowing #GrowYourOwn 🌱
