Had a squirrel in my garden earlier today. Invasive bastard...

Could do with encouraging more wildflowers in the open area of my garden that has kinda become a lawn. I put down a meadow grass seed mix and clover. Not sure if much clover really grew though. Ground had been under concrete for decades that I removed after buying the house.

Daisies and dandelions seem like good choices to try and grow there, add some colour and they can usually manage being trimmed shortish too. Don't have a lawnmower but my partner complains if I don't strim it a few times a year. Tbh the pathway probably needs it now but leaving the rest over winter.

Hispanic end cap? I think we go to different Aldis. Although I did notice that they FINALLY stock dried chickpeas. Might start eating those again. Found them quite nice with some Nandos sauce in the past. I used to buy them from another shop but after I bought their entire stock they just didn't restock them.

On purpose, or on stupid? Answers prompt with "I know what I am doing", breaks system, complains.

Not sure if you understood my message, looking for something that is low power usage. Like tens of watts peak. Not many hundreds of them.

Does AMD make a good low power CPU? Have been thinking of getting an N150 mini PC. Low price and very low power usage. Use it for self hosting a bit.

They don't stock dried beans in my local Aldi, otherwise I would.

Did Putin just lose a bunch of leverage over Trump?

So your thermostat is tracking your location by GPS to know when to turn on?

I mean, I guess at least I can see how someone might benefit from it I suppose. I certainly don't want that though.

 

Made this handline a little while ago, I would like to tidy it up but the wood is split a bit so I would probably make a new one rather than touch this one up. Likely let the wood dry too quickly but it wasn't in the best condition when I found it anyway.

There is a grove cut in that the line wraps around, although there is so much line that the grove could probably be a bit deeper. Normal fishing line, then the string wrapped around and tied in a clove hitch to help hold the fishing line together. The end has a swivel attached so I can then clip on the hook and weight, it creates a weak point so that if it gets stuck the weak point will break first and leads to much less fishing line left in the water. Although don't really like the idea of leaving any fishing line so the V2 will use all natural string/cordage, may even go for a stone as a weight. Metal hooks do rust away quickly in sea water but a wooden hook is tempting, it only needs to hold the bait on the line so pushing a toggle through the bait could be an option. Crabs don't get hooked, they just hold onto the bait.

When putting bait in it quickly got the attention of 2 spider crabs who decided to fight over the bait for a while before they went for the bait, if I had a larger net I could probably have scooped them up there and then but I wasn't expecting to catch something so large. Only expected shore crabs.

Should probably go again, didn't have a large enough tub to take him home for dinner.

 

Had a kelly kettle for a while and love just how quickly it boils water once a fire is going in it. Isn't visible in the picture but the base is propped up on a stand so it isn't in direct contact with the ground.

Has anyone else got a similar stove or just generally has good recipes that can be made quickly by adding hot water? Other than pots of instant soup/noodles I have found porridge is a fairly easy one to make by just grinding up some oats at home in a spice grinder and mix with some dried fruit then when I am out all I need is to add hot water.
