Fascinating watching how quickly this slime mould changes! From yellow foamy (pic in earlier post) to brown & then darker chalky texture in 24 hours. Thanks to all who know these & reassured me it isn't harmful. 🙏 🌱 #Gardening #Fungi

Slime mould even darker brown & texture has changed from foam to more solid & chalky.

🌱 Saved a tiny piece of this geranium from a demolition site some years ago. It rewards me with a stunning red year-round display. Never fails to impress. 😀 #Gardening #Geraniums

Very weird behaviour. More like something he'd say if that was an evening event & he'd been imbibing a tad too much.

#AndrewProbyn introduced himself to #TonyBurkemp at #NPC as

It's so weird, changing quite rapidly. So good to hear from other people who are familiar with it. I really worried it was something toxic.

Ha! 😂 Bones is a great show & obviously educational too!

Novel approach adopted by a one govt department re: FOI redactions.

The blacked out redactions are now whited out redactions.

Makes it less embarrassing for them I guess.
