If you live in the area you can contact your councillors to tell them what the greenbelt means to you and urge them not to be tricked by the hollow promises of these developers.

What is going on right now?! In an age when we need to be protecting/encouraging whatever nature we’ve got left, all of these numpties are wielding their ill-deserved power against it.
The luxury houses and themeparks get to decimate our wild lands (and us by extension). But anything remotely helpful to nature (and therefore our own health) is challenged at every stage.
Don’t even get me started on the other, frankly bizarre, environmental choices I see around.
Looks like a company stole a voice actor’s recordings. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn4q7984nq1o
It’s a great language and all the speakers I’ve had interaction with have been very kind about my lack of skill. Just do your best.
I’m a bit of a scrambler myself. Not into rock-climbing but if I see a slope it’s hard to resist.
Not done weights, no. Would like to have more access to, not sure what to call it, jungle-gym type stuff. Climbing, balance, that sort of stuff.
Going to try to keep up the walking. Been getting a lot more exercise of late. My usual walking partner is going away for a bit so might not feel like going quite as far. Also, the rain.
On that, be careful of flash floods. The dried out, hard ground might not absorb the water as quickly as it usually would.
Given how well other LLM stuff is going, how long until it starts saying completely made up stuff and bigotted crap?
(We all know none of this is actual AI, and I wish the media would stop caving to tech-bro marketting.)
Half convinced the case only went on for as long as it did because those judging were intrigied to know what idiotic stunt he’d pull next.
That should be their campaign right there.
Last summer was one of the wettest. This one is looking to be one of the driest. Climate change is bringing us some wild swings.
It’s been crazy sunny. I’ve not been shy with the use of the sunscreen.
Maybe if we weren’t constantly dealing with another country’s political crises we could make more progress fixing our own shit too. ScotIndy all the way for me.
It probably came down in the Indian Ocean. Given how tough it was built it’s probably intact somewhere down there.
Waiting on news about the Kosmos482. Other than that will probably explore some trails I’ve not walked.

Aye. Apologies.
Maintenance-wise, I think the tyres need replaced. Looking pretty haggard. Confidence-wise, probably gradually increasing the loop. The legs aren’t used to the motion of cycling anymore either so physically a gradual increase is probably a good idea.
I did it! It was a very short cycle. Just around the block. But, given both the ongoing maintenance needs of the bike and (perhaps more relevantly) my own level of confidence after years of not cycling, I am calling that a win.
They’ve rapidly become the only option worth considering, to me. Gave a decade to the SNP, who seem to have no will anymore to do the thing they are titled after. “Labour” are worse, and I’m not touching the others with a bargepole.
