I don't really bother to police followers, who has time for that really... but just had an obviously odd one show up with a logo that felt "political" as avatar. I searched for the logo and it's a far-right Romanian political party:

The bio text, translated: "I'm fed up with censorship on Tiktok" So yeah, if that account follows you then it is probably one to block.

What else is out there for post-xmas garden-deal specials I wonder?

Burninating the countryside. Down the #allotment again for the arvo.

As seems to regularly catch me out, I forget just how much shit shuts down in the UK sometimes... I had assumed things like Wickes, Screwfix, and Halfords would be ooen today. But nope. No mower oil for me then! I am pretty sure I have made the same mistake in previous years. Bunnings is bloody open today, bit of a trek just for mower oil though, plus it closes in 15 minutes.

Down the plot in the sun, and wind, having a bit of a 2025 binfire. A bit too breezy to use the open firepit alas. Whilst 2025 wasn't too much of a binfire for me personally, it has been a long and continuing road to recovery from the utter dumpsterfire that was 2024. It has if course been a hell of a binfire for our world and people, with sadly no sign of improvement to come. Can but do the things we do to try and survive for now I guess. #allotment

That's the question of "dinner?" solved! A pair of £3.51 pizzas. Not a bad little orange sticker haul, also got 4 packs of firm tofu, some toast bread, muffins (breakfast tomorrow sorted).
