I've had a long walk with my dog, then I went and tried to find something to tell my DiL to get me for xmas, she wants our lists early so as she can do her financial planing. I've been to the library and the garden centre, where I got a pack of free daffodil bulbs.
I think tomorow will be spent gardening
I only had a brief spell outside in the end. I am suffering bad from tiredness.
More walking and gardening, I cut down a couple of bushes!
I'm listening to old John Peel sessions. Then I'll read some news. I'll possibly sit in my Mothers Garden and
also watch stuff online. Life could be worse.
hi new here and we a vary bad thunderstorm and my tree maybe got hit by lightning today and I was kind of scared when that happened
Went for a 4 mile walk with my husband in countryside. Lovely and sunny. Now resting.
Visited the Community Garden I planned to meet a man at. He said that, for horticulture classes, it would be best to attend a municipal park, at a nearby town, run by the Council.
Emailed the Council, expressing interest in lessons.
We have a pond that's as deep as she dug it, we had to stop her or I think she'd of kept going until she hit bedrock! She has dug up a couple of things, but luckily, touch wood, not recently. She seems to prefer digging up the "lawn" which I'm fine with, I hate the thing, it's just rough field grass and I'd like to replace it with water permeable hard landscapping and more plants.
I've not got that far into the book yet, but it would seem that Romanisation was a veneer over the top of society and became less of a thing as the centuries wore on and even by the late 2nd and 3rd centuries was a distinctly British version of Romanitas. Given that when the legions departed which is the official end of Roman Britain it looked very similar to what it had been in the Iron Age. I think something were more readily adopted than others, just like we adopted so many East Asian and American things, tv programs, foods, tech etc, we've not been conquered by those countries, just adopted what we like and find useful, I think we did that with Romanisation.
Chilling like a cool cucumber. Just did some gardening went for a night time walk. I have a friend who is scared of the dark. He doesn’t go out after sunset which kinda sucks because I would like a friend to go out at night with. But anyway…. Other than that I haven’t had any alcohol which is good because I don’t like drinking anymore. Spent some time on these forums and that’s it
Well done, Pixiefox. Sounds interesting. I hope that the AI companies actually do that stuff...
Interesting - how Romanised did Britain become?
I've completed part 3 of my OU course on artificial intelligence.
Covered diversity, fairness & sustainability of AI.
Yeah. And she often "helps" you with the gardening, digging up the plants, doesn't she Cat?
She's a lurcher, called Fearn, she's a mix of greyhound, saluki and whippet
Of all the contexts to learn that a site has a profanity filter, this has to be the most wholesome one I've seen yet.
After all these months, I didn't know you had a dog, When someone says 'dog' my ears *** up like a dog's. What is it? What's it like?
I had a nother good walk with my dog, trimmed some bushes and stuffed the clipings into the green bin ready to put out for collection tomorrow. Then I read some of my new book I downloaded from kindle on how Romanised Britain actually became during the 400 years of occupation.
At one point I did have an absolutist view of free speech. It was the riots that pushed me to take a slightly less libertarian position. Chaos scares people. I think ultimately who is in power should be decided via elections. Not violence.
I was busy on Zoom, and the computer. Now listening to an MP3 album I ordered today; via Bandcamp.
Life became a warzone, through a litany of defamation, ridicule and rejection.
It was never-ending wash, rinse, repeat until the savage dogs were let loose.
Society gradually reflected Germany, during the Weimar Republic, and people were oblivious to it.
I was too competitive at school, and resented other beating me at mock exams.
I barely scraped through A'Levels, and Uni, in spite of my huge potential. I became a Bum with a Degree.
