Last Notes npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 If I were a Kurd, I would be very wary. Is it three times now that the US has wound them up, let them go and then abandoned them? npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 You’re following this closer than I am: have you seen any even middling-squishy sources for it being an Iranian missile that hit the school? npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 I doubt they do direct to consumer, but they may be able to give you a list of their customers in your area. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 No, but I’m decidedly pink and warm to the touch. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 This morning, I idly wondered if I should put some sunscreen on but decided 4th March was too early even for me. I was wrong. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Only as an endearment. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Cabbage, sprouts and bacon topped with bread soaked in egg and cheese. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 No, that’s me you can hear even all the way up there! npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 https://media.spinster.xyz/0274a6a555c82f60696fa6a3929d01006c3889c6bde76f7949e567036e381829.jpeg npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 BBC newsreader (so, scripted) just said “Iran has strived” when she meant “Iran has striven”. Surely even Simplified English has the slightly less awful “Iran strove”? npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Does rather depend on finding a good supply of cottage-shaped rocks…. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 I’m sure it would be pennies compared even to like likes of CEX. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 A warm fuzzy glow, and them fulfilling their legal WEEE requirement it seems. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Thinking about getting the new MacBook Neo, as my elderly MacBook is dying. Thought I’d stick in the details of my current one as a trade-in, just on the off chance: https://media.spinster.xyz/d5904d46a63575e7ea80b0bcd31fd7c978f05330d6506cb67fff4b19f02c357b.jpeg npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Aye, little buggers. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Yes, Mars climate mission went boom. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Productive: cleaned the potting shed windows scrubbed and hosed down the cloche for the hot bed emptied the hotbed contents into the potato bags and moved them into the shed to warm up gathered up my empty compost bags, and emptied the dregs of the current one into seed trays, ready to go and raid a neighbour’s muck heap to start this year’s hotbed gave my miraculous white poppy a few handfuls of compost and put some chicken wire around the base of the support as someone had decided it was a good place for dabbling and exposed a load of the roots. https://media.spinster.xyz/18675cf7208204ea65c9e500c0a18274afff7368b9419c595ebee02d016ba69c.jpeg https://media.spinster.xyz/f74f36ad985cf472fce342109f3210adf165bc50ca31bc2859a88830f9a487fa.jpeg https://media.spinster.xyz/96f00d22d7c912b4cc65cd00a79e8b37eccd0ab52a6ed1a09f8c099f1f16952f.jpeg https://media.spinster.xyz/2ed916a069292d2eb1b699f3465ebda63d7b717bc9eefa6e7d30d6e8ba0b9e81.jpeg npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Scientist on the radio tried to present it as like pruning an apple tree to promote new growth. Not sure how much I believe that! npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Robin singing his (or her) heart out this morning. https://media.spinster.xyz/2d24689959d780b20261ddf45fc337be11a51b0ffc90170529c0bbd8e2911e58.jpeg https://media.spinster.xyz/11fcb4e08193854e0cc5c06c092c724496009624b991b1ef69c2b3fd09de980a.jpeg https://media.spinster.xyz/224d8e94b89067be9a39b1e0edc9dd2d682fbabad0af2a5518b250b08b337da7.mov npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 I suspect it might be even more basic/far back than that, a general sound of exasperation going maybe even to pre-PIE like “mama” et al. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 We’ve since realised how bad it looks and sent ships. (It’s not a matter of EU/NATO, it’s protecting the UK base there.) npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Yeah, I wondered about storage, that ms a shame. Now the weather’s on the upswing, walking’a definitely a possibility. (I was going to say can’t you go to a museum or something, but presumably you’re in a truckstop in the middle of nowhere?) npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Bloody hell. Cuffs to her, but that’s a weird as hell hobby: I wonder what her day job is that she can do it? npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Maybe you should get a folding bike or something? Then at least you’re not stuck in the cab. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Thank you for the reminder that I can turn down the difficulty for the bit of my current game that is pissing me off for being fiddly. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Can you not treat cats for them? npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 https://media.spinster.xyz/fcbbceafc6a1de489b503fa47f55c04623fc33bbf807c2eb2751abc95b2bc9b4.jpeg npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 I wonder what Mrs Khamenei‘s life was like and if she was happy with it. Cowed and beaten? Trusted confidant? Power behind the pulpit? npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Pretty much the same. Three walks in a row! npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Yes, all fine! npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 https://order-order.com/2026/03/03/france-dispatches-navy-to-defend-cyprus-while-uk-stays-away/ The French government is sending anti-missile and anti-drone assets – along with a frigate – to Cyprus after drones attacked the RAF base at Akrotiri, according to the Cyprus News Agency. Greece has dispatched two frigates and two jets… Meanwhile, Starmer’s ‘Chief Secretary’ Darren Jones was asked if the UK would respond to strikes on its own base and said: “We don’t want to get involved in a wider war in the Middle East.” So – nothing… npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/02/daughters-girls-school-admitted-trans-pupil/ Shocked, I realised that a boy, masquerading as a girl, had been in school with my daughter for three years without my knowledge. A raft of questions was now running around my brain. How had this boy been admitted to an oversubscribed all-girls school? Had this biological male been using the same toilets and changing rooms as my teenage daughter? Had staff carried out a risk assessment? What safeguards had they put in place to ensure the privacy and dignity of my daughter and all the other biological girls in the school? What about the pupils who, unlike my daughter, were not aware that this was a biological boy? Why had this been kept a secret from parents? https://archive.ph/q8v5I npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/02/28/parents-court-battle-to-protect-children-bbc-pro-trans-bias/ Hundreds of parents are set to go to court over the BBC’s “constant drip-feed of one-sided pro-trans programmes”. They have warned they will seek a judicial review to force the broadcasting regulator to investigate what they claim is the BBC’s pro-trans bias damaging their children’s health. The Bayswater Support Group (BSG), which represents more than 800 parents of primary-school-aged children and teenagers who believe they are transgender, has told Ofcom it will take legal action in the High Court unless it reverses its decision not to investigate their complaints about the corporation’s trans coverage. The parents claim the broadcaster is promoting trans lifestyles to young people who are already vulnerable because of their age and mental health needs. https://archive.ph/iJTUI npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Skylarks! https://media.spinster.xyz/fe7867797939608bad6a9f3ea13c13c98de08344ae14570248b550f4fcdd45c3.jpeg https://media.spinster.xyz/272dda39afe4d10c27130c5e1575bfd59be1438bde689b70822c991d8295a57c.jpeg npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 7 feels like 3 and part sunny! Positively tropical, I put Dog in his lightweight coat and everything. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 I apologise in advance for tonight’s un-forecast and severe freezing event. I just put the hose back on the wall and turned the outside water on. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Got my sitter and my ticket sorted: hope you decide to come! npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 My sitter is available… what do you think? Spinster North meet-up? npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 It cuts tomatoes fine, which is my usual test. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Even chopping those slices into smaller bits was a full body weight on the knife affair. It was much firmer than the stuff I occasionally buy pre-chopped at the supermarket. More generally, I suspect that whole salami will have fewer weird shelf-life chemicals in than the pre-sliced stuff, as well as working out cheaper, so I wanted to try the experiment with this fancy one I had in the cupboard having bought a post-Christmas stock-shifting mystery box from a UK cured meat company. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Because it’s so solid that I could only hack lumps off it, not get thin slices. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 https://media.spinster.xyz/df04b09bb2972ae4f87f25e6a7b2af913658c482cea33656df723d7e27d918cf.jpeg npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 It’s actually venison chorizo, tbf. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Handy for the station. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Hmm. Wonder if I can get a sitter…? npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Yup, you can slice salami with a mandoline. A bit hard work, but this was a very solid one. https://media.spinster.xyz/16e3ce2bd609dc9fce47dbf15ed5c1e774b53ca550365961899ac55b45413b57.jpeg npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Hmm. Maybe, or at least move that very pale one. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 https://media.spinster.xyz/7368ceac09a2a3bd8e0ebf5e370f9b8d16fb96bbd33876171accf4e9d1800672.jpeg https://media.spinster.xyz/0db0bdb89a6afc34890c971a8a7a79a74c98e1767ee68fa5aa777c5dc823fbc9.jpeg https://media.spinster.xyz/27db10e43dd20dcc37dff762076d4e36811638ab293bd9794e54d470a1cb2042.jpeg npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Layout thoughts?

Although I’m not sure I want to know what Disodium Inosinate and Disodium Guanylate are. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 https://media.spinster.xyz/bba93eb1e17e66e458a85fc9ce611799dcc9bc429271e3d3da9f6ea9c0124be8.jpeg npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 https://media.spinster.xyz/08e59d395fdb201eb97d78f4874e398202be53f3dae0d55bb2b6f31bc5ac53ce.jpeg npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 That’s what I used to have, but it came with the house and I’ve got used to it! npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 I’m really enjoying the photos: I’ve seen very little of the US! npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 My oil tank sensor has been throwing an error for the last month or so. It often does it when there’s snow, but this has kept on. I brought it in to have a look at it, but there was nothing obvious so I stuck it back on the tank (to stop the rain getting in) and toddled off to get a new one. There’s now an internet-connected version, with an app to make it easier to track the level, which sounded pretty good, so I ordered one. Just went upstairs to change out the sensor and swap the old plug-in display for the new USB dongle, and the bloody thing’s working fine. Now have to decide whether or not to keep the new one or see if I can return it…. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Oooh, the sun’s come out, maybe I’ll go out in the garden… nope, raining. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat…. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 More lapwings, marsh marigold. https://media.spinster.xyz/49308f8c51285e2045a0053229cef250d29e4f90f0701bbeeb9f29de4e5e38a0.jpeg https://media.spinster.xyz/64e111421e1fa05bf8ad4008f650c6ce49b65c265b8b1224eb7e4cf445d0dcff.jpeg npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Never easy, even when you know it’s coming and is the right thing to do. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Again: you’re randomly broadening your original point, which was what I responded to. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 You’re randomly broadening your original point, which was what I responded to. Also very amusing for a USian to tell a European to look at a map. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 GF bread is really hard. It’s only in the last decade or so that commercial bakeries have got something approximating decent bread, and even then it goes stale in about five minutes. Celebrate your semi-success! npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Chronologically does not work. No soldier was allowed to shave his top lip long before Hitler. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 Strong disagree. If (if.) 80 kids died, but the regime falls, it is worth it. The regime killed thousands of their own citizens a month ago, not to mention the effects of their funding of terrorist groups. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 It should be “his”. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 (Note the completely unnecessary “their”.

My father was never tried, let alone convicted. Yet the inspectors’ report, published after the criminal trial, was damning about his conduct: he was ‘blameworthy’ in ways that did not map neatly on to criminal charges. In the public mind, he is now remembered chiefly as a crook, not as the decorated soldier, outstanding publisher and entrepreneur he once was. For my sister, the problem is sharper. She was convicted after a widely covered trial. The appeals that followed have been technical and unglamorous. They do not compete with the vivid story the internet has already told. Her most recent petition, filed last December, together with some 1,000 pages of supporting evidence, argues that her trial was unfair and constitutional safeguards were brushed aside. One point made by the petition is that a juror did not disclose a history of sexual abuse, therefore making them biased. No one can begin to understand her defence without reading that petition. It has been largely ignored because it jars with the clickbait narrative. Even if the federal court currently considering it orders an evidentiary hearing, the reputational ratchet will barely move. Andrew now confronts the same mechanism at an earlier stage. If no charges are brought, many will assume a cover-up. If he is charged and acquitted, that outcome will struggle against years of prior certainty. Only a conviction would align law and narrative – yet even that would be consumed as spectacle rather than the solemn act it should be. https://archive.ph/eAtUy npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 At least he didn’t get the curtains! npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 My father taught me, when I was maybe seven or eight.

Why did they even think it would produce useful data? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/02/27/electric-car-drivers-spied-on-by-government-through-phones/ Millions of electric car drivers in Britain were spied on by the government through their mobile phones as part of a “bizarre nanny state” plan, it can be revealed. Customers of O2, as well as other operators including Tesco and Sky Mobile, had their mobile internet history and app records passed to the government if they visited a site related to electric vehicles (EVs) once a month on at least two occasions. Department for Transport officials commissioned O2 to spy on 25 million devices as part of a £600,000 study intended to produce a “comprehensive evaluation and understanding of the uptake and usage of electric vehicles”. At the DfT’s request, O2 trawled people’s web browsing habits, including those of children, to identify “EV users”. This included passengers as well as drivers. It then tracked those people’s physical movements around the country and sent “anonymised and aggregated” data to the government. https://archive.ph/TIJ5K#selection-3317.0-3317.8 npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 It’s weird that we have different names for upper and lower legs but not for upper and lower arms. npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 I quite agree, Dog, lovely day for a walk in the drizzle. https://media.spinster.xyz/11014a2742b75daff81d05222c10489b1ff5052ba629e0051ca2a237dd5ae8d6.jpeg npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm Flick 🇬🇧 So you can in effect work continuously if you keep under the rolling 70hrs?

I always have to jump through hoops to get it for my autumn eczema, too.
