A photo of our busy yard today. New start Flav started today and is very enthusiastic and very experienced with giant Amazon water lilies. For some reason he’s having great fun teaching our other employees Portuguese words like “Eleição fraudada” & “Liberais filhos da puta!” lol.

Winter fuel has arrived. Most people don’t realise there’s an art to stacking logs. It’s not an art judged by critics - no, nothing so crude. But simply, whether, by the end of winter, either of my children has been crushed by an avalanche of logs when sent to fetch fire wood.

The country is braced for the third storm in as many days as communities continue to clean up after the weekend.

Farage is on the side of global tax dodgers who dont want to contribute to the UK although it educated & supported them when they needed their break. They want a faithful doggy in power here so they can come enjoy our country without paying for it.

It seems to have been a struggle to find volunteers to fill the room for Reform UK’s pre-Budget announcement today. Watch now on @GBNEWS.

Four Seasons Total Landscaping is now stocking the new book by Liz Truss. We have copies in both the kindling and mulch sections. Oh, and there's some in the bathroom.

The Bank of England bailed out Burnham and sabotaged me. Read all about it in Bank Job.

I know it's not the most pressing of disasters in the world as it is today, but I've lost my wellies and it's really annoying.

Donald Trump is alleged to have forced a 13-year-old girl to perform oral sex on him and when she bit him, he allegedly beat her unconscious. Of course he doesn’t give a fuck about what Amy Acton’s stepfather did to her.

I’m old now but I’m celebrating this for 8 year old me who had the young ones as heroes. And still does.

Today on Feedback, we'll hear from listeners reacting to the announcement that BBC Radio 4 Extra's linear broadcast channel will be closed to create more savings for the corporation. Listen today at 3.30pm on @BBCRadio4 📻 Feedback | @BBCSounds
Listeners share their thoughts: "I really, really regret that decision. Radio 4 Extra is one of my favourite channels. I'm a fan of all its strands: comedy, drama, documentary.” "I think it's a disgrace closing down 4 Extra...it can't be that expensive to run." "What a great mixture of information, entertainment, cultural heritage and nostalgia, all taken away from us at one fell swoop. And yet the younger and middle years listeners...don't appear to have been similarly targeted in these cuts."

Ah look, .@On_The_Write weighs in to stand up for another of Lee Anderson's puerile attempts at race-baiting, realises he doesn't have the intellect for it, stalks my timeline, drops a load of insults, then blocks and runs away. What an utter coward. Embarrassing.
