We cannot all aspire to #gardens like Hidcote but as I have suggested there is much which is applicable to the more modest dwelling—the cottage, the manor house, and such diverse habitations found in our small country towns and even in the city. There are many hints to be taken.

I wish this freedom for every animal ♥️

The answer will always be Zathras.

The Cicero AI can now give human-level performance at "Diplomacy." Looks like the last game standing is Calvinball. (Boston Dynamics, please don't...)

Who do you want to be featured in the U.K. Chancellors Advent Calendar? We’re picking a new Chancellor for every day in December.

@straczynski "I didn't know that similarity was required for the exercise of compassion" has to be one of the greatest lines in literature, not just SciFi.

Still ridiculously proud of having written this scene, and of the heart-breaking performances by Bruce and Mira.

Perhaps, if the RHS website didn't load so many Twitter / Facebook / whatever plugins, it would actually be possible to complete a ticket booking without it timing out? @The_RHS

On the 29th (May) I'll be giving a talk to PHP Oxford about our experiences using #droneio for CI in the PHP world... Free refreshments courtesy of their sponsors - meetup.com/PHP-Oxford/eve…

Thanks to Tom Coward of @GravetyeManor for his help in my research for trugandwellies.wordpress.com/2018/04/13/leu…

Thanks to Wendy Tremenheere deputy head gardener at @SissinghurstNT for responding to my out-of-the-blue email and answering my questions about the 2015 box hedge remodel in their white garden - trugandwellies.wordpress.com/2018/04/03/sis…

Another "awful customer service" from amazon moment. When it goes right, it's cheap... when it goes wrong, it's reliably horrible.

Replacing a yellow hose pipe with a black one. Another of my to do items from having read @BunnyWilliams marvellous "On Garden Style."

Because the host didn't accept within the time limit AirBNB set, it shows as me, the GUEST, having "cancelled." Sigh.
