A post came up on my FB feed tonight...
Asking for gardeners and pruners in certain roads in Hillingdon and Harrow.
I thought...wow that's a lot of gardners wanted. Then I read the post. The group had residents pinpointing any ULEZ cameras installed, then a "gardener" who covered that patch "pruned" the wires so they were not working.It had many members joining in and have sworn that whatever the outcome of the review that starts tomorrow, they will continue.
.

"A building society with 3million customers today admitted it does dump customers with views they consider discriminatory...

Yorkshire Building Society has been accused of closing an account of a client after he asked why their branches were festooned with Pride flags."

Something not right about this?

Does anyone here have trouble sleeping? I listen to BBC Radio 3 all day, often on catch-up, and just found this prog from 2am last night. My muscles slumped into extreme relaxation just from the voice of the presenter before the music even started https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001n2cr

hope you are having a lovely day

though you might not always think that if you spend too much time on the internet. https://www.positive.news/society/kindness-frequent-universal-study/ You can sign up for emails from Positive News - I find them heartening. This week's update includes the fact that China is on track to smash its renewables targets five years ahead of schedule. The country’s installed solar capacity has already hit 228GW, which is equivalent to over 100 coal-fired power stations.

Been offered a bungalow, got to view it on Wednesday
Today I went for a walk there to see outside and a neighbour invited me in to see hers.
It's quite a bit smaller than my flat so I would have to get rid of some stuff and there is no garden so a shed full of gear wiould have to go too.
I'm very confused whether to say yes or no on Wednesday and the thought of trying to pack it all up and do the move on my own is daunting.

The Supreme Court have ruled that a website designer can refuse to make a design for a same sex couple, stating she cannot be made due to religious beliefs. What do you think? Do you agree with worrys that this will lead to companies refusing to serve same sex couples ?

The Covid-19 inquiry: seven years long, 150 lawyers hired and £114m spent so far - the Government’s inquest, which critics have called ‘very bloated’, is on course to be the most expensive ever conducted.

So why not end the inquiry now?

Summarise what measures were wrong, and which worked.

Based on this, produce a plan for dealing with future pandemics.

This can be done by three intelligent people in one week.

It says Mon - Thurs will be 8 degrees, obviously it's wrong but they haven't changed it.

I ordered a burger from Smacks burgers. It was called a Smackdown, which is a double pattie with their special sauce. A lot of sauce like a dirty burger. It meant the whole thing was sliding about as I tried to eat it, and the bottom half of the bun lost touch with the sauce covered pattie.
I had to resort to eating it with a knife and fork.
Usually I'm quite good at keeping a burger together, working out which side to bite into etc.
Probably doesn't help that my sister always puts any delivered takeways in the microwave for 30 seconds . So I was trying to pick up a burger that was burning my fingers to start with, off a really hot plate.

I just had a chat with a GP who said she suffered from Summer SAD and I have to say it was the first time I had met someone who did. She explained when she was warm she got agitated, miserable, fidgety and anxious and that her mood dropped drastically. She said longer daylight hours really messed up her body etc. I never realised how much it could unsettle someone !

Shush!

My energy supplier Sainsbury's/E.ON have sent me a letter saying that energy prices will be lowered on July 1st.
Electricity will decrease by £53.59 and gas will decrease by £622.43 during the last 6 months of 2023.

If another person has Airplane Mode activated on their phone, how does that effect how their phone works? Can they make and receive calls and texts? use whatsApp, connect to wifi?

Don't know if anyone can help. No Scooploop messages have been coming through by email for a couple of days. I sent a message through to the scooploop technical group but have had no reply.
Basically, I get a morning email of information of messages received, but I am used to getting individual emails throughout the day. I have tried the website, but that's not the same as having regular emails on "hot topics"
Not sure what I have done.

Wet cat and kitten food donations urgently needed. Just spent £500 with Zooplus and more with Tesco and Asda and that will not last long. Many of the abandoned, stray and feral cats have not been fed good quality food they would have benefited from. Many not provided with water or given water in unhealthy plastic containers or unsuitable metal bowls. Panacur wormer granules also needed. Royal Canin Mother and Babycat Mousse wet food needed. Animonda baby kitten pate and Lilly’s Kitchen kitten pate most welcome. Thank you for kind donations via Suzy P helping with collecting donations on my behalf from £1 a month.
Fosterers urgently needed for cats and kittens.
More irresponsible pet owners than ever abandoning their cats or trying to give them away unaware that kittens last 15/20 years as forever family members once acquired. The reason why rehoming must only be serious and strictly to genuine responsible cat lovers not likely to have a change of circumstances or mind.
Amazon wishlist goods also helpful.
Thank you

Apart from the headline acts which will always be good, my highlights so far
1. Cate Blanchett on stage with Sparks. Ron Mael still looks like Hitler
2. A very talented violinist named Sudan Archives. Loved what she was wearing on stage.
3. The singer of reggae legends Third World singing opera. Time To Say Goodbye.

I know many people don’t like foxes but this lady has been feeding foxes for 25 years. They are not tame but neither are they dangerous if respected . The comments of some people on this video amaze me - are people really that ignorant nowadays 😳

"The Museum of Childhood has stripped out its soft toy collection as part of a bid to shed its creepy image".

Tristam Hunt, director of the V & A, said the rebrand was needed because the museum had turned into a "magical, creepy place" with limited appeal for children.

"Truth be told, parents and grandparents always enjoyed visiting more than children"

£13m has been spent to create a museum centred upon play, imagination and design.
