The joys of having a wild garden. I've lived here for more than 12 years, and in that time, the garden has gone from trimmed hedges, mowed down grass, and no flowers to an absolute abundance of life.
By my last count, I have observed over 800 species. I do not count most of the plants as they wouldn't be here if I hadn't planted or sown them.
The biggest breakthrough was when I put in a small pond.
Every year, I make small tweaks and improvements, such as adding rotting wood, piles of twigs and branches, stone dikes, clay cobs, and nesting boxes. This year, I think I'll try to clear a small area and mix in some sand to attract more ground-nesting bees and maybe put in another pond if I can find the space for it.
Is there an English equivalent to the Danish VildMedVilje (WildOnPurpose)?

NASA keeps ancient Voyager 1 spacecraft alive with Hail Mary thruster fix

The ingenuity that goes into keeping an aging, unfathomably distant, spacecraft running decades past its projected lifespan is awe-inspiring.
Meanwhile, here on planet Earth, people are advised to scrap millions of high-powered, perfectly serviceable PCs — all based on the whims of a software company that elevates profit above people and the environment.
Voyager 1 is proof that it doesn't have to be this way.

I am a lucky, lucky potato. I took a trip to Stensbæk Hede early this morning. First I found the severed wings of a male Saturnia pavonia -Lille Natpåfugleøje -Emperor Moth. Two minutes later I found a female laying eggs and then another female.

Some music for your Friday! The Finnish prog/indie/poprock group Pennies by the Pound just released a song from their upcoming album. Honoured to be a part of this marvellous tune as a background vocalist. Recorded and produced in Oxfordshire by Mark Gardener.
Sama suomeksi, musiikkia perjantaihin! Pennies by the Pound julkaisi ekan kipaleen tulevalta levyltään. Oli ilo olla mukana taustalaulajana, varsinkin kun se oli hyvä tilaisuus päästä äänitysreissulle Oxfordshireen! Tuotanto & äänitys Mark Gardener.

Riemastuttavan avaruusolennon tarjous: Viipaloin sinut, mutta maksan paremmin kuin suomalaiset
Ohjaaja Moonika Siimets onnistuu yhdistämään outouden ja tavallisuuden. Episodielokuvan tarinoissa haetaan lohtua yksinäisyyteen.Tero Kartastenpää (Helsingin Sanomat)
ÖBB:ltä ostettu matka voi olla vajaa
ÖBB:llä on yleisesti outo tapa sekä näyttää hintoja, jotka eivät kata koko matkaa, että yhteyksiä, jotka eivät ole kokonaisuudessaan saatavissa. Mutta tällä kertaa oli vielä oudompaa: Kolmen junan yhteyden Wien-Krakow-Warszawa-Białystok lisätiedoissa (ks. kuva) näkyy, että myös junassa Krakow-Warszawa on pakollinen paikkavaraus, mutta ÖBB myi varaukset vain ensimmäiseen ja viimeiseen junaan.
Onneksi on puhelimessa myös tsekkiläinen Muj vlak, sieltä saa ostettua puolalaisiin juniin paikkavarauksia (13,80€ EIP-juniin).
Wien-Krakow-junan ensimmäinen luokka on muuten sveitsiläisessä vaunussa.

Can anyone explain or have tips on how the fast trains work in #Europe ?
I'm thinking France, maybe north Italy Germany and Netherlands.
We tried circles around Paris milan zuric Munich then Amsterdam but the routing seems off.
Australia has crap trains so it's very confusing

Many things said.with regard to.english are aplicable tonother languages as well. And even the way sentences, questions and quotations are marked, differ by language. Almost every language has untranslatable words. With coulors and numbers, different languages have different shemes to name them.
Generally technology tend to be western European centric. It underestimates the complexity and variety within humanity.
There are languages,.where a word can be a full sentence. And so on.
It doesn't end with left running or right running also top down or vice versa and combinations.
Whilst one language by country works most of the time, but there are countries with multiple languages, who are equal to each other.

Yes to all this, except that monolingual countries are the exception, I believe, and the majority of the world's population actually lives in multilingual environments.
Even here in Finland, with just 5 million people, we have three national languages, and several smaller linguistic communities in addition.

I haven't got any filtration, semi-aquatic and aquatic pond plants take care of most of the nutrients, I've planted tall plants for shade, and I'm fairly diligent in removing leaves and other debris to avoid eutrophication.
