He has a little warty lump right on the joint, I’m guessing he caught it on something.

Like, she’d be on the loo thinking “ooh, the garden smells lovely through the open window!”

Flick 🇬🇧 (flick@spinster.xyz)'s status on Sunday, 24-Sep-2023 20:40:04 JST Flick 🇬🇧 Members of the civil service group Sex Equality and Equity Network (SEEN) were targeted for their views on women’s rights, with one civil servant accusing the group of wanting to “destroy” the LGBT+ community.
SEEN believes “that biological sex is binary and immutable… and that biological sex must not be conflated with, or replaced by, the concepts of gender or gender identity”. It is the first Whitehall group set up to represent gender-critical staff.
[…]
On March 17 2023, civil servants from several diversity networks in the Ministry of Justice, including from SEEN, met online to discuss diversity and inclusion.
An official who was on the call told The Telegraph that members of SEEN were accused of “holding views that resemble Nazism”.

Except shrinkflation recently made some of them 200g, which really buggers up my instinctive butter measurement skills.

Flick 🇬🇧 (flick@spinster.xyz)'s status on Saturday, 23-Sep-2023 19:51:55 JST Flick 🇬🇧 @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain @HebrideanHecate I am apparently unable to decide if I’m Irish or Scottish.

Flick 🇬🇧 (flick@spinster.xyz)'s status on Saturday, 23-Sep-2023 19:51:55 JST Flick 🇬🇧 @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain @HebrideanHecate It’s because whisky got trendy. Loads of people set up niche whiskey distilleries, but whiskey has a long lead-time because of the aging so they started making gin for cash-flow while they waited for the whisky to be ready.

Flick 🇬🇧 (flick@spinster.xyz)'s status on Thursday, 21-Sep-2023 23:16:49 JST Flick 🇬🇧 I’d decided to take a chance and put a magnolia in the garden: I love them, beautiful trees.
A big factor in that was that a local (if lower altitude) nursery, which keeps all the plants outdoors so that they’re used to the weather, sells them.
I was going to pick one up yesterday, as I was passing (ish), so I phoned to check that they had them in stock. No, they didn’t. They buy them in rather than raising them themselves, and wouldn’t have more until spring because that was they don’t need to worry about getting them through the winter.
Ok, maybe I’m not going to take the chance after all.
