@SamaHoole Have you come across Wool Pots Sama? I met the whole gang at Gardeners World Live and they were fantastic. They buy British fleeces and turn them into pots for plants which encourage good root growth and sturdiness.
Great idea and great company. https://t.co/rfF5dH51nk
@MoyeAlbert1015@end3of6days9 The being a bit daft is probably why they love you. She isn’t mocking her dad in this video, she’s actually showing just how much she loves him. Plus, she knows he loves her. And that is all you can hope for.
@yoncesbuffy His English accent is pretty good but as a British person he sometimes adds emphasis on the wrong part of a word or sentence which shows he’s not English. Still love him though. Especially as Randy.
@TTExulansic I listened to her experience of loathing her body and recognised it - and I am not and nor have I ever been trans. Poor kid. I’m much older so read poetry instead, it was a relief to see that same emotion written throughout centuries. For some of us that’s just how puberty is.
@BertDalziel I have 3% Germanic ancestry and the rest is English and Welsh.
I read a tweet once that said “my ancestors trudged from Africa, through the heat of the Med, the fertile expanse of France, crossed a small sea. Looked at the fog, rain and thought “Perfect”
@stuey_beef My son went to a very good uni for an engineering course that offered a sandwich year. Excellent. Except there were no places to spend that sandwich year, correction, 2 people out of 180 had a sandwich year. The rest just carried on. Don’t believe the hype like we did.
@rose_orr@guyadams It was supposed to convey the Indian Pacific train between Adelaide and Perth. My kids and I took that train 15 years ago and my overriding memory was nothingness. But Adelaide had been a delight! Perth was full of beauty! There is so much more they could have shown.
Born in 1974. My parents both worked full time. Lived rurally. We had McDonalds once a year while Christmas shopping (a hamburger each, 2 small chips between 4). We lived out of the freezer (oven chips and crispy pancakes!) Fish & chips 1/month. It was different times.
Boomers seem to forget that fast food used to be a normal, everyday expense for them because it was affordable. You could get a burger easily on minimum wage, it wasn’t some fancy treat you had once a year as a reward for pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.
This is bc they do not have the time or capacity to create home cooked meals. It’s an issue countless ppl have tried to raise w leftists but big leftists online continue to shame/abuse poor ppl for being forced to rely on these services for meals, which act as a tax on the poor
@psframes I find it fascinating how the frames change my perception of colour. In the narrow frame on the left the sky has a pink tinge, the reds seem more lustrous, the hair a richer brown. On the right, the sky pulls more yellow, the green underpaint for the skin tone stronger. Amazing
One of the most dramatic recent framing changes has been the removal of the additional 16th century style replica frame from the narrow original moulding on this portrait by Ghirlandaio at the Ashmolean. These narrow portrait frames were once common, but have almost all gone.
@Adam_FineArt@RCT@swordersfineart Beautiful. I have a copy of Van Dyck’s portrait of Cornelius Van der Geest that brings me such joy and pleasure every time.
@alt_w_v_g From a British pov, eBay is still the only place I browse and buy architectural antiques. I hate fb marketplace and there is no alternative site. I’ve used eBay since 2002 and ignore all their hyped stuff. Still, I’ve noticed the changes and hate them.
