Good for you @wild edges - long may it last! Our flu jabs are not until mid October, still waiting to hear about covid jabs.
My curmudgeon today is that our district has suddenly sprouted masses of bright green electric scooters and bikes - at least 6-8 on every corner. They look so unsightly and are a hindrance to pedestrians - especially when they just get dumped wherever they run out of juice. It looks like the Lib Dems have arranged a new contract with a new provider ready for the uni students.
E-scooters are an absolute menace round here as well. The original company had the contract taken off them, but it was given to a company who were kicked out of another area. How does that make any sense?

We’ve had them them here for ages … great fun watching them going the wrong way along a bus lane … and meeting a bus 😱🤬 I’ve seen that more than once … it’s not that often that I feel sorry for the bus drivers but ….

Brand always seemed to me to be a complete narcissistic tw*t and, although I never knew about Tate until the Roumania stuff hit the headlines, the documentary on him showed him (again to me) as a nasty bit of work.He also comes across as a 'me...me...me...me...' person.
BUT people like them. Woman actually wanted to go to bed with Brand - men think Tate is some oracle. Really? What filters are they missing in their brains? What is it about power that people are willing to ignore obvious traits that would otherwise have them avoiding these people like the plague?
Sadly people who have no power are attracted to it … they seem to think that they can acquire it by association. 😞
The thing that's odd though is that neither would have power had the powerless not given it to them in the first place. I've never watched Brand. I've seen a few clips of him on the news or programme trailers and knew just from that that I don't want to listen to him. But enough people do that he has ended up in a position of influence. Why?

Whatever next? That's much nicer than a plastic one or a polytunnel, equally safe and probably longer-lasting so more environmentally sound. Wonder if he's got a garden at home that he could move it to if the council don't back down.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
I would just ignore the warning, when and if a council representative comes to see it, offer him a weapon and ask him to break the glass. If it breaks, fair enough, you wouldn’t want the young ferals to take a shard of glass and do damage with it.
Often they don’t mention these things anymore. My daughter has a 6’ fence around the front and side of her garden, the council wrote and said they had to remove it and replace with no more than a metre, that was years ago, the fence still stands.
