NINE volunteers! Wheeeey we got the job done. Sometimes you get half of what you needed but the half you get absolutely smash the job. Gapped up some hedgerows, made some new woodlands, did a bit of maintenance on old stuff, and left by 2:30pm. Thank you everyone who turns up to help! 🫡

When every single software/SaaS company that jacked their prices due to all the pointless AI rubbish nobody asked eventually admit failure and remove it, what are the chances the price will ever go back down? https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/03/21/microsoft-responds-to-microslop-criticism-by-scaling-back-copilot-in-windows-11-starting-with-notepad-and-other-apps/

Coughing so hard for five minutes I nearly choked to death conveniently woke me up in time for early doors on Holiday Inn Express “breakfast buffet”, now it’s off to South Molton to reattempt a few thousand trees after 24 people didn’t bother to come last time.

If I’m here you go no excuse. 🤣

Every single AI project is asking the question “What if we took an already solved project that works incredibly well, then threw it through the slop machine that burns planets just so the job can be done worse.”
