“It is often said the UK is not a rich country, but a poor society with some very rich people. It is now similarly true that the UK is not a regressive country, but increasingly a progressive society with some very regressive people holding most of the power. And our economic and political system, in both cases, serves those two minorities. The rest of us slowly check out, and are told the problem isn’t the diminishing vision of what is possible, but our apathy.”
I saw this bird today but did not hear it sing so I am identifying it as a Willow Warbler (based on its feet are lighter than that of a Chiffchaff). if it sang, it would have been easier to identify.

Daily #Wales and, possibly inevitably, I’m starting the week with sheep.
Have you got it yet? Suffragettes had to send a total of 17,000 petitions to parliament before women won the right to vote.
It wasn't just the petitions that won it for them, but they helped keep the issue in the public eye.
So will you please make like a suffragette and sign a petition to stop new oil and gas mining in the U.K.?
Hi peeps, I'm thinking I need an app to manage my meds, I take paracetamol every 4 hours or so and sometimes I forget and so take a dose later and then can't remember when I took it.
What I would like is an app that would alert me, which if I'm in the middle of something I can postpone, and then when I do take the dose and log it in the app it then starts the next interval of 4 hours to alert me for the next dose.

It's #WaterfallWednesday already? Yay!
Here's Koosah Falls on the upper McKenzie River in the Oregon Cascades. Koosah drops about 20 m off the end of a 3000 year old lava flow. But one of the things I love about Koosah are the springs near its base (not shown here). The upper McKenzie gains about 6 m3/s of flow through small springs & upwelling within a few kms because of huge, cold groundwater systems in the young lava.
