It's a social network so I might speak to you. I don't bite, unless you poke me with a stick.   I've been elsewhere on the fediverse since Nov 2022.  This is my new profile since Dec'24.

Hello follower(s?),

I'm just checking into say I have been crazy busy for several days -- hardly a moment on the Fedi.  I've been away a from home, at two different events.  Very long days, and short sleeps have only afforded me a few stolen moments to check in.

My health-handcuff (fitbit!) claimed I had only eked out 2h45m of sleep one of the nights.  I'm sure I had more! On a plus I have exceeded by weekly cardio score by 362%. I honestly don't pay any attention to these numbers.  I don't generally wear the device but was curious of my activity while away.

Last night, home at 11pm, I concluded my social battery had expired.

Today is a glorious day.  I am in the garden, enjoying the sunshine.

What did I miss on the inter-web-fedi-thing?

Enjoy your Sunday my chums.

@nprofile1q... I keep forgetting to tag people as I update my Junited page, although I do not think all are on the fedi.  I read widely!  haha

Can someone who's more green fingered than me tell me is this is giant hogweed please? It's all over one of our fields, so if it is I'll need to get someone in to get rid of it. https://kevquirk.com...

@nprofile1q... I can usually tell giant hog weed and common hogweed apart. The common one being native and non toxic.

Generally gaint hog weed is green stem with purple blotches and only hairs under the leaf at the stem. Your picture has a completely purple stem and entirely hairy. Suggesting common.

However the leaf I am seeing is almost like a giant hog weed leaf as it's quite serrated and has heavy cuts.

So I'm on the fence.  I'd definitely get it checked, or wait and see if it grows to 15 feet🤔

If it's normal hogweed I'm happy to leave it as it's great for the local bees. I might just cut some down and rub my arm ...

I've finally started my Digital Home and Garden.

I wanted room to grow my online life, so I've moved in to ForkingMad.com.  I will continue to do all my blogging at ForkingMad.blog, but different content will appear in my home as I settle in.  For now I am unpacking the boxes 😆
