#PSA :

My rules regarding #PhotosOfChildren on #SocialMedia :

I have never, and will never post photos of any children on any form of social media, with one obvious exception!

See my avatar? That's me when I was much younger, and had slightly more hair.

That image, of _me_, is the only exception to my rules!

So when I talk about my grandchildren and great-nieces you're just going to have to use your imagination since no pictures, of them, will be forthcoming!:*

Just, you know, for keeping track... (as of 2018)

I've got three grandchildren:

Eliza - 7 years old
Esmé - 5 years old
Rupert - 3 years old

And three great-nieces:

Jessica - 10 years old
Annabel - 7 years old
Elena - 4 years old

Ok, daft question, is there a point to following my #PeerTube account from this account?:*

It has one 'toot', the video I uploaded, presumably, but that doesn't show up in my Home timeline here.

Hence my question...

Just rebuilding Gimp again, then I'm off to bed.

Ok, for your edification, my first #PeerTube video...

#HomeAndGarden #BumbleBee #WeatherVane

Suplementary question: Does #Mastodon accept MP4 / AVIs, or should I just find a #PeerTube to upload to?

Youngest great-neice visited Friday, we took her around to the garden centre where she took a fancy to a small metal bumble-bee weather vane. She was rather proud of herself when she chose where to plant it in the garden.

She was asking me today if the little blades on it had been blown round in the wind. She was then disappointed to discover that she'd missed it working.

Consequently, I've now got a video to show her tomorrow (:*

Just had another #Virginmedia outage, only a half-hour, this time.

Turns out they don't have any real people available after 10pm, when did that happen?:*

Fortunately the automatic tests, followed by a router reset appears to have fixed it.

Update on the shredding of the garden waste...

Finally got all of the privet bagged up, tomorrow I'll move on to reducing the brambles to chippings (:*

Bless him!

Been out in the garden, just testing out the wood shredder thing. So, that's my week planned, popping out and shredding more of the branches of privet hedge and brambles, and putting the results into bags for later disposal in the brown (garden) bin every time it gets emptied (every other week).

Even better news, now next door can see how badly damaged _their_ fence is, so perhaps they can spend some of their money fixing it (;*

Right... good news, friend turned up (:*

Even better news grandchildren visited.

Managed to get the garden done; take the children for lunch around the corner and to the park.

Slightly different angles/distance on the shots since I didn't want to capture too much of next door's garden in the after shot.

No guesses required for which is which (;*

[Shot1: Overgrown bramble etc]
[Shot 2: What overgrown bramble?;*]

Morning (:* This morning I'm supposed to be out in the back garden attacking the brambles and clearing the side of the garden with another friend. Currently, I'm awaiting the friends arrival.
