  Can anyone identify this #flag, please? It is flying from a proper flag pole on the allotments. I couldn't get a decent photo but it is a red and yellow striped rectangular flag with an eagle (I think). The eagle has one head and a crown. It is holding an orb and cross in one foot and some kind of sceptre (?) in the other. Edit: I forgot the Alt Text. I've added the description that's in the toot.

  Today's #footpath workparty was on #Thursaston Common with bonus Triangulation Pillar! 🥳 At first I thought we were wasting our time, as the paths were quite clear, but then we hit a wall of bracken. Time to get busy with the shears. #Wirral #Volunteer #OSBM

  What is the bing bong tannoy sound that I've heard at a few #WorldCup matches? It sounds like it should precede "Store cleaner to checkouts, please". It happened a couple of minutes ago in this game. #FediFc #PanEng

  Wow! My new Hoover is amazing. I did wonder about getting my old one repaired but I can now see how ineffective it was. 😬 Oh, I hope I don't become obsessed with keeping the house clean and tidy. Nope, over it already. 😁

  I'm looking to buy a new vacuum cleaner. I've just found one which boasts that it uses AI. BURN IT!!!! 🔥

  I'm drinking beer in a pub full of Tranmere fans. I'm exhausted. We scraped a draw and that was enough. We are staying up. 😊 #TRFC

  Last speaker of the day. He has a voice I'm struggling to tune into and the topic doesn't float my boat either. One audience member is enthralled and is asking very complex questions that NOBODY CARES ABOUT. Mate, read the room. If you shut up we can all go home. You can stay behind and chat to the presenter. #CPD #BoredNow

  Because I follow the hashing #WildCamping, this #AISlop has turned up in my feed. 🤣 I shan't be clicking the link, so will never find out if there is a logical connection between the text and the picture.

  If an event is due to start at 1245 then it should have started at 1245. I wolfed down my lunch and am still waiting. 😠 #CPD

  There's a Pigeon standing in my garden. It doesn't look injured. It occasionally walks a few steps. I've given it a bowl of water but I don't think it understood what I was doing and it walked a few steps in the other direction. Very strange behaviour for a Pigeon. #Birds

  I've just washed my e-bike and given it a good looking over for wear or damage. Everything seems fine but, as I've never had an e-bike before, I thought I should check the user handbook to see if they recommend any specific checks or maintenance. I now know that I have RIM WEAR INDICATORS! Woo! What wizardry is this?! I've just checked my cheapy Decathlon folder and that has them too. My Raleigh Amazon doesn't, so this technology must've come in some time in the last 40 ye...

  I used the last of last year's apple harvest (stewed and frozen) and the almost last tub of last year's blackberries. I added some oats to the crumble, for a change, and I really enjoyed it. 🙂 Such a simple pudding. I do like simple traditional puddings.

  @philheppenstall@mastodonapp.uk Looking at https://www.food.gov.uk/safety-hygiene/food-hygiene-rating-scheme, they can be closed down if there's an "imminent risk to public health". I guess "Requires urgent improvement" is sailing close to the wind but may not actually make somebody ill (if they're lucky).

  I've received a text message calling me "Mum" and saying that the offspring has broken their phone so has borrowed one and can't put their SIM in it because it's locked to another network. I've heard of these #Smishing messages but this is the first I've had and it's so tempting to string them along for a bit. 😈 However, discretion is the better part of valour so I shall ignore it after forwarding it to my provider's s...

  A few photos from today's walk. Martin planned a walk from Altrincham to Chester in stages. Today's final stage was the only one I've been able to join. Perfect weather, although the wind was cold in the morning, and good company. #Walking #Cheshire

  The Decorators are coming today (to paint the ceiling and walls after the water damage I had to the ceiling. There was no damage to the walls. 🤷‍♀️ ) As usual I am overthinking everything that could possibly go wrong and getting anxious. I suppose the benefit of this approach is that things always turn out better than I expect. 🙄

  Half time and #Tranmere are losing 3 nil to the team who were bottom of the league. We really are in free fall. 😞 So much for the "New Manager Bounce". #TRFC #FediFC
