👍 Didn’t even realise I’d fat-fingered that till I looked to see who’d downed it! - apologies and yours accepted of course :) |

So, every spring you could chuck a load of soil/compost into the pond until the right consistency for sowing & planting veg is achieved?
Helluva job shovelling it all out again in October though 😂 |

Agree, but BtB has a point in that it's the CEOs of global oil/gas corps etc, endorsed by politicians, many of whom have shares and/or other vested interests in those, who are making the major decisions that benefit themselves/their families* financially, whilst hastening climate change in the process.
*Have never undserstood this mindset, as surely even they can see that their grandkids aren't going to be able to eat or breathe gold bars. Perhaps they're just literally terminally stupid/greedy. |

Delayed all my sowing & planting till second half of May this year, as it would have taken a huge amount of water resources to get the soil that was bone dry down to a depth of at least 45cm/18 inches in all the raised beds & tubs, up to sufficient moisture levels; and didn't want to then be watering every day either.
As a neighbour said, used to be able to leave veg to get watered by mother nature, but these days we have to water them ourselves at least every other day, if not more, however much mulch you've applied. |

Re your first paragraph, I thought that was because the Israeli government claims that Hamas leaders/individuals reside amongst the general Palestinian population on the Gaza Strip, so are effectively using them as human shields?
I’m not the best informed on this thread however, so am open to others’ povs. |

On the North Yorkshire Pennines, only just on the east side, we’ve had drought situation for four of the last five springs - only last year was the exception (exceptionally wet actually), with the others having literally no recordable rain for at least a month during March, April and May; and barely any during the other two months either.
1995 was similar, and one reservoir was so empty you could see old village buildings at the bottom flooded to create it. Reservoirs slightly better managed by YW now, but still regularly half empty. When you have Yorkshire people praying for rain it’s quite something! |

I find mowing on my garden tractor literally bumps the step count on my phone up by about 1,500/hour 
Just compensates for time phone’s on charge or I’ve forgotten to put it in my pocket though.
Generally it’s the daily dog walk, gardening and housework that contribute to my average of about 7.5K/day over a year though, which I don’t think is bad for mid 70s with health issues. |

Not always as saintly as they like to make out (and I’m not talking about responses to racism, sexism, homophobia or other objectionable views - just a different view to their own has sometimes been a cue for considerable abuse). [Post edited 1 Jul 9:20]

Feel free to visit Yorkshire & have a pop at the pigeons leaving mounds of their c r a p on every gate, latch, path, step, piece of washing, outdoor furniture etc. on a daily basis 
Footnote: I bought a pack of filleted pigeon breasts from local butcher a month ago - finger-lickin' tasty :) |
