I only realised today that in the film name “Carry On Up The Khyber”, “Khyber” is rhyming slang/a euphemism. #OnThePulse #Movies #KyberPass

Out for a walk in the fields and there’s a massive #fungus at the base of this tree. Impressive! #nature

I listen to many #podcasts of interviews, but I listened to one yesterday of Eric Idle, who I know little about, being interviewed by James O’Brien on his Full Disclosure podcast. I can’t explain why, but I found it really interesting. Eric seems like such a nice guy. #EricIdle #MontyPython https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/full-disclosure-with-james-obrien/id1454408831?i=1000791563105

#Farage said that he had been warning about Iran in parliament for some time. Strange, because when I searched Hansard for “Farage Iran” there are some results, but they are all talking about Farage, not talking by Farage. #ukpol

The #sheep were getting fed just as I got home from work yesterday, after dusk. They don’t care. They still love their food at any time of day. #sheepofmastodon #defaidodon

When we moved to our current house, 9 years ago, the previous owners, who were retired, had a nice garden, with carefully tended flower beds and pots. Since then, we have let the garden degrade, but here and there there are remnants poking through to remind us of the previous owners’ hard work. #gardening #roses

Another feed for the #sheep in the gloomy dusk yesterday evening. There was no sign of the sheep when I went to put the chickens away, then when I turned around the sheep were stood 20 metres away, staring at me, so it would have been rude not to feed them. #sheepofmastodon #defaidodon

The #sheep got their evening feed in the afternoon, as they knew that the clocks had changed. Nice for them to be fed in daylight, rather than after dusk. They have spent all day out in the wind and rain, unbothered by the dreadful #weather. After tea they decided to chill out in the shed. #sheepofmastodon #defaidodon

The #chickens are chilling out in the shade of the sheep shed, but they get excited to have some corn.

I have been sent my renewal documents for my #RAC cover. The price has increased from an already excessive £329 to £442! I think that will be a no. #RipoffBritain #finance

Being a dog owner changes your life in ways you would never expect. For example, I’m on the floor at 1 AM, using needle-nose pliers to remove a dog poo bag from the impeller of the pump of the washing machine. #dogs #LivingTheDream

My #hayfever has been quite good this year. I don’t know if it’s due to the weather, or more effective #antihistamines It was all going well, until I find myself next to a field of 2 foot high grass, and the farmer arrives to mow it… #achoo

250 years since Britain generously, and for no reason other than out of the goodness of our hearts, granted the United States of America their independence. July 4th is definitely a day when Americans will be thanking the British, I’m sure. #IndependenceDay #uspol #ukpol

Jade Goody’s perfumes are no longer available. Paul Newman’ salad dressing is still made, 18 years after his death. What other celebrity endorsed/created products are still going strong long after the celebrity’s death?

I happily watched my wife shave a couple of #scrotums today. Neither one was mine. (It’s #sheep shearing day, and I don’t like doing the boys’ bits with the massive clippers because it makes me nervous) #sheepofmastodon #defaidodon #ramscaping

Due to an emergency trip out at lunchtime, and not getting back until dusk, the #sheep didn’t get fed their Rammaster and sugar beet pellets until it was almost dark. They had been in the shed, staying out of the wind and sleet, all day. All the sheep are in this photo, but only one came to see if I had biscuits. #sheepofmastodon #defaidodon

I was too busy trying to repair the car to go and feed the #sheep this morning. It turns out that my wife had fed them their Rammaster and sugar beet pellets already, while she was cleaning the chickens out. How come it’s sunny when she feeds them, and miserable when I feed them?! 🤣 #sheepofmastodon #defaidodon

For a short while this afternoon we had #sun and blue sky, so the #sheep got an afternoon fed of Rammaster and sugar beet pellets in the field. #sheepofmastodon #defaidodon

I have been so busy today that when I fed the #sheep not only did I forget to photograph them until I was halfway across the field, but I forgot to post it until 10 hours later! #sheepofmastodon #defaidodon

It feels like the suggestions on #Twitter aren’t even pretending to be balanced now. I did not accept the suggestions.

My employer has enrolled me in a pilot to trial #ClaudeCode. Only problem is that I’m not a #software developer, so wouldn’t normally have any use for it. So to be useful I have been getting it to review pull requests from people using #microsoft #copilot I’m pitching the AIs against each other to see who wins. Fight!
