Imagine reading this academic's claims of athletic prowess and being like "nah, this can't be true". It just takes grit, motherfucker. He got up at 4AM and carried the boats. What were you doing, you pussy? Writing substack posts? Get the fuck outta here.
What's happened here? Surely a slug didn't make this groove? I'm guessing a rat nibbled it and then a slug came and laid its eggs there...?
... Well, usually waterlogged anyway, probably not today given how hot it's been.
UK, London. Watering my neighbours plot while she's off sick and I'm curious about this lad with the blue flowers.
There are all sorts of detached bits including 4 pedals, bizarrely, so this is feeling like a little craft project. There are no instructions but I've been cycling for about 55 years and i can probabky work most of it out. But what, pray are these objects? (first two are just different views of the same thing, so only 3 objects in total)
This worktop around the sink is less than a year old and I've just noticed it's starting to come apart. This feels very not-fit-for-purpose to me. It wasn't cheap, it should be water resistant, the sink doesn't even get used all that much because we have a dishwasher, and I feel like I ought to be asking the manufacturer to sort it out, but assuming that's going to be like pulling teeth and be more trouble that it's worth, is there anything I can do to shrink it back into shape and reseal it?
I just moved into a house and I’m slowly identifying my new plants. This tree is in my yard with dark berries. I can’t tell if it’s black cherry or a Carolina variety.
UK, but it's Kew Gardens so not necessarily a native species.
I must have seen this before because it's at my local tube station but I've never noticed before that it has berries and flowers at the same time. It looks great. What is it though?
London in case you haven't guessed from the tube reference
So I'm thinking horse chestnut, but the flowers look unusual. Are they always this frilly? Is this some sub-species that's different from bogstandard conkers?
London.
