RE: Moth Trap - 5th May 2023 (An Improvement, and Comparing Records)

Help yourself lol... it's all a load of fuss and palaver over an archaic relic (I am of course referring to the monarchy, but I suppose it also fits the 'King' as well!)

can you tell I'm not a fan? 🤣

Thanks, its just one way of looking at the world. I often describe it as being similar to trainspotting, but much more interesting! And I like the idea of recording what I see, and then that info gets passed on to higher people who use the data collected to build a picture of the state of our wildlife...

spoiler: its not looking good...

Yep, the garden may be small and pokey, and often overgrown, but it is ours (barring the 20 year mortgage around our neck), and I know we are lucky to have this little green space to call our own

Hope you're well Nicky (apart from the rain of course)

Hah!

I already used it yesterday but I think I may have offended an Englishman :/

I hope not. My grandpa was British, and they colonised my grandmother's country, so I feel as though I'm allowed to have an opinion.

I think micro focusing in a chaotic world is very beneficial to staying calm as fuck 👍🏻 And nature is the best medicine. It's cool that you guys have your own piece of paradise :)

The state of the world is not looking good. No. I had a date with a lesbian who worked on gathering data, for government, on global warming. Yeah...

I hope the insects win, quite frankly :D

All good down here, thanks! The rain abated and the sun's been shining. But the wind picked up and now I know the locals weren't being dramatic.

Well... they were a bit because it's still gorgeous and if you wrap up its worth wandering around anyway.

I won't ask how the injury is in case you think I'm nagging 😅

[sorry, I did see this, and then while working out what I was going to say, I then got distracted by something shiny, oops]

pfft, you're totally allowed to have an opinion, if someone got 'offended' with that then screw 'em!

I do like a bit of Eddie Izzard, not heard that clip before but totally get it. I've never been a fan of the old patriotism thing. I'm all for feeling like you belong to a group (or groups), but using that to put down or control others as they chose to have is unnecessary.

The problem is, if the insects lose, everything loses, and the ecosystem will collapse. We need them to win, otherwise we're all flammin' screwed! 😀

Ah ok... I knew you were based in South Africa, but I didn't know where... Western Cape huh? I checked the weather forecast, looks like you get very similar weather/climate to what we get in the UK although we may be a bit more variable. And hey at least the weather ain't boring... rain, wind, hail, drizzle and a bit of sun in between, its all good.

The injury is doing well thanks, I spoke to the physio 3 days ago, who confirmed I was mostly correct with my self-diagnosis, gave me a deep massage on the leg which was absolute agony but totally worth it. And then he gave me a couple of exercise to work on. If in a weeks time I can do those exercise without any pain etc, then I have a green light to start running (taking it slowly obvs)

Ah... good news! The leg, I mean.

No! I lived in the UK for (almost) a year. I did not make it through winter. I ran on around the 18th Jan! Yikes!!!

We have really good weather here mostly. Today is a clear blue skies and sunshine winter's day. I should be out there 🤫

I found this...

Teaser - this wasn't supposed to be shared yet. But it's very like (in my experience). We MUST walk solo for a time to really become "free".

We all go on about personal sovereignty and then band together and do the "us and them" thing again. I've now removed myself from all affiliations with love. I love all the communities and support all of them. so walking it. If that means I'm less supported then... this is exactly why I'm doing it! :D I mean the "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" thing. That's the problem with the world. Largely. Right there.

And it's (literally) making us sick - or killing some of us now. So one we go! 👣
