Missing a few people, but the DJ is pretty good

Things that get you a telling off in the House of Commons: Telling lies, refusing to correct ❌ Not wearing a tie ✅

Driving done, time to get started.

Distancing on the Downs today, staying at least one jump apart at all times.

Lovely wet autumn walk, back in front of the fire cooking a pot roast

Perfect amanita sheltered in a gap in the heather

Morning of sun and glassy waves at Bracklesham. Good to get away from it all for a few hours.

Heading into mid October and the veg patch is still going strong.

Can anyone id these? Assumed they were pine weevils, but look like Hemiptera, mouth parts the length of the body.

Interesting end of summer party playing out on garden pine tree. Hundreds of thousands of Pine weevils eating tree, thousands of wasps eating them/sap secretions, hornets leaving chopped up wasp parts all over before dying of old age. There’s an analogy in there somewhere...
