Four from around yesterday. Knotgrass from some open ground near me, Autumn Hawkbit and Guernsey Fleabane growing in cracks in my front yard and Field Scabious from the wild area at one of our local football clubs.

The highlight of my week was probably the least impressive flowers - Field Madder in one of the wilder bits at the football ground in I was at yesterday.

Reading the second story here, (via Kottke) about Irving and his influence on the Vienna Sausage Co's taste: scopeofwork.net/2023-07-10/#di
reminded me of a tale of testing. I used to work at a place called in which supplied an Airline CRS, and turnkey systems to access it, which it supplied FoC to travel agencies, the money being made from a tiny commission on each reservation.

Part of the test kit was a large LAN set up to mirror the setup in a medium-large travel agency office...

I didn't mean to look so glum, it's just that it was tipping it down. But I was determined to get a photo next to these rainbow steps (preferably before my phone got waterlogged...)

My favourite of the in the cracks in the paving of my front yard is definitely Fox and Cubs. Most of the plants went to seed ages ago, but there are a few late-flowering ones in a shady corner near the recycling bins.

You can learn a lot about just by not weeding the cracks between the paving on your front yard. A large part of my yard/driveway can't be used for parking at present because it's occupied by Autumn Hawkbit.

Enough photos taken on day-trips; here's one literally from my front yard. Autumn Hawkbit growing in the cracks between paving near one of my wildflower planters.

You don't need a car park to do some - a driveway will do fine if you pretty much never weed it. Smooth Hawksbeard, Dove's-foot Cranesbill, Ragwort and Fox and Cubs in my driveway this morning.

For all my travelling this week, my favourite find that wasn't an orchid was Smooth Hawksbeard. Growing in ... a crack between paving stones on my drive. Ah well, "everyone gotta be somewhere" as the saying goes.

The Wood Avens is just starting to flower in my nearest bit of woodland today. I had to hunt around a bit to find one that was properly in flower.

A new species for me. Not new as in "very rare, never seen it before" but new as in "never managed to work out what it is before". Shining Cranesbill, growing in the wild bit of my local park.

Last week I saw my firs Prickly Sow-thistle of the year, this week its cousin the Smooth Sow-thistle is flowering in my front yard. Fantastic plants, I think.

Coaching Day with Lee Martin – Swindon – 03/05/2023
Due to the generosity of my mates Neale Carbis & Keith Halsey, I got a golden ticket invite to a coaching day with Lee Martin (Or should I say, six time European Champion and general fucking quick driver, Lee Martin).

After a morning of learning how to asses the track, basic lines, and some surprisingly gentle, sim

If one were still taking PMs from the Lords, perhaps. In modern times, I would think .

Yes ... The Rt Hon Anthony Swindon, MP. Has a much more modern and democratic ring to it than Lord Robert Salisbury.
