Whats Your Weather Like 2025
We had sunshine from 10 to 2 o’clock. It was 11c at the time when I had a walk. Back home, I wrapped the tree fern. It’s nicer to do this when it’s 11c than 5c as forecast for tomorrow.

It’ll never happen. Like all the other things they “are going to do” but never do do. Like ending leasehold, building new hospitals, getting rid of the house of lords, blah blah blah.

Slow pages
It's been very slow on my phone for some time. I cleared cache and history, only made a minor difference. Much better today than It's been for a while.

Squash/gourd id help please!
I thought the problem that occured with commercial seed a few years ago was put down to the seed crop crossing with a different type, possibly something growing wild even.
