Latvian history question, Any idea how the letter/message from the UK 1918 to the Latvian national council that it was de facto recognised travelled to Latvia? Was it by courier overland or by telegraph etc? It took less than a week that’s all I know.

@ryantpugh @UKWX_ Hoping to get some gardening done?

@JSatrovskis Pop culture of my childhood :)

@JSatrovskis I see LTV used it :)

@offgridstone I have an open mind about this so was pleased to see you having a go but when that bloke opened his mouth I couldn’t help but wonder if he was on crack! There’s a guy Chris Winters The Fertile Current) who is a farmer using it and seems to speak with knowledge.

6 years after emigrating to Latvia Rightmove in the UK have written as they feel maybe I’m no longer looking for a property in the UK 😂

Apparently somewhere on X a little video I made about living here is doing the rounds 207k views on IG, just a tad little crazy :)

@40PercentGerman Ha I knew what that word was without even looking it up. Same issues here, people are crazy about drafts, drives me mad we can’t have a door or window open in the middle of summer - ‘caurvēja’ that brings all sorts of evils in…

@JSatrovskis A cake from the same baker? :)

@BadgerMash They say here the number of times the cuckoo calls is the number of years left to live. It’s looking positive so far :) on the call thing it sounds like a mash up with a magpie or jay.

[🌱Gary Dickenson 🇪🇺🇱🇻🇬🇧🇺🇦 @GaryDickenson]

Are all cuckoos fitted with a wahwah peddle or is it just Latvian ones?

Hello @NordVPN why does it cost twice as much to renew as it does for a new plan. When you reward my loyalty I’ll consider renewing.

[🌱Gary Dickenson 🇪🇺🇱🇻🇬🇧🇺🇦 @GaryDickenson]

@LoveGrowingVeg @SamczykMira Think I paid around that for 6mm panels
3m x 2.1m. Someone in America commented that the price would be twice as much over there.

New control panel for the greenhouse is looking real nice. A lot of pre planning this time is paying off.

[🌱Gary Dickenson 🇪🇺🇱🇻🇬🇧🇺🇦 @GaryDickenson]

@LoveGrowingVeg Yeah sure, same ol. I built mine 3 years ago and documented it all on YT and updates of wins and failures, if I can be of any help then do let me know.

[🌱Gary Dickenson 🇪🇺🇱🇻🇬🇧🇺🇦 @GaryDickenson]

@LoveGrowingVeg Well it can be a work in progress, mine is. There is some balancing to do so if you do the side walls it will protect cold nights more effectively but then it will be hotter on the hot days so that needs solving, I have shade netting and this year will do better ventilating.

@AndyWoodturner Essentially. Anything you use once a year on show, everything else away. OK enough of the tool showmanship, I can not compete :)
