I brought the seedlings and saplings into the conservatory because the weather’s been ‘changeable’ and I wanted to give them the best possible chance of survival. It’s not a heated space, so it wasn’t coddling them, just stopping them being blown/washed away. Apple powdery mildew struck, affecting almost all of them. Presumably, the sudden change…

Another river pick

Posted on 23/11/202124/11/2021 by dom

Herewith my latest river pick (ignore the date stamp – I’m lazy, not a time traveller). This is all sped up to approximately 2000% normal speed after my eldest tells me no-one – not even my own mother – wants to watch a 25 minute video of litter being picked. Backing track is one of…

I’ve noticed a lot of people – myself included – experiencing heightened stress as a result of ‘the situation’.

While it’s written in the context of a partner having breast cancer, it still translates across usefully,…

So I picked ‘it’ up yesterday. It’s called Althea Rideau. It looks like this: And tastes like bland, oily cannabis.

My first Medical Cannabis Prescription

Posted on 14/04/202024/11/2021 by dom

Because it was so frustrating, I’ve vowed to raise awareness and signpost some stuff in the hopes it saves people coming after me a little stress and time? Edit 2: This: I know it seems silly, but I feel compelled to say this: The following information should not be considered in any way substitute for…
