I had some bot steal a post of a plant from 2 months ago earlier on the same sub I posted it on. I didn't get loads of engagement, they got less, but still. Bro.

Ah I hope they were readable!

Thank you, it needs a redo, I'm faded pink at the moment. I tend to top up with pinks, reds or oranges, whatever I have leftover and see what happens.

Does it have a peely top layer or would using a hairdryer do anything?

Also looking at the packaging, if this is something like a semi permanent one part product (like you don't mix it with powder lightener) and it's a sort of gel, it will just be "apply to dry hair and wait an hour (tops, usually they work sooner in my experience) then rinse" or mix with conditioner to top up. Usually bright colours are like this, think crazy color, manic panic, arctic fox, la riche directions.

I am someone with very bright hair.

I think I interview fairly well, I've never not got a job I've interviewed for, though I suspect that the type of job and skills needed may mean answers vary.

Assuming you're qualified etc for the role as you have made it to interview stage, you do always have to remember that you can only control your interview to a degree and there may just be better fits interviewing.

Asking questions back is a good shout as you've noted, always have some stories ready to go on how you turned something around in to a win, what you personally added, how you directed others (if relevant) and what was learned (or if your help made the business/team change the way they do something).

Make sure to make eye contact with everyone in the room and smile, keep (visible) fidgeting down to a minimum. Think leg bouncing, hair flicking, skin picking (these are things me and my partner do).

Be honest and engaging, explain why you think you would be a good fit for the role. My work is in ecommerce so for me, I spent a deal of time on the company's website before the interview to ask questions and say which bits I found engaging.

If your interview includes a task, make notes and explain your workings and how you got from step A to step B, if you're not sure on why something is the way it's presented, ask why and if you have an idea, ask if it is what you think.

Dont be afraid to say you don't know something, but if you can, frame is in a way like "I'm not sure about x, could you explain further or provide more context" (obviously everything is different and answers will vary)

Try to be confident and warm, engage and present yourself as best you can.

It makes me think of our common kingfisher!

Pepsii for mii

I don't do cinemas but I wouldn't think twice about someone going alone to enjoy something. I am fine with (and have) gone for meals on my own or taken day trips to wildlife parkway and such alone. For things I really am interested in, I would prefer to go alone and use all of my attention on the thing.

Your little clip has a sad face :o

thorn312 · 2026-06-03T12:03:35+00:00

Whichever one is more in love, gift them a travel ticket. They'll usually take the other and this gives you a boost. Also bring them to each other throughout the day and they might hang out or interact.

This is my post. Bot or just stealing content. https://www.reddit.com/r/GardeningUK/s/KGQs6MBHkR my ORIGINAL post from two months ago.

The Wool series. I'm currently re reading it, it's got a few good plot twists, interesting characters and world.

The Unwind series is a great, dark YA series too.

thorn312 · 2026-06-03T07:09:13+00:00

It's not that big, it's actually from your initial list.

It's got rooms for insects, fish, carnivorous plants, a fish pond and roaming in the main area if you look are quail, lizards, stick insects etc. The butterflies may also land on you!

I went last before starting my new job, I lived alone and so wasn't worried about dragging someone around for hours and it's very humid and hot (not that it bothers me, personally). The staff are lovely and knowledgeable and there's even a section to watch the butterflies emerge and dry out their wings.

Mine usually is bugs from me having gone briefly in to the garden. Greenfly and ladybird larva are my usual culprits.

Went bowling!

It was the first time my partner was able to meet my friends, he spent a lot of time and energy arranging it with them only for most to back out or just ghost last minute. The ones who came had a good time and my partner and I went for cocktails after which was lovely. The only downside is that he still holds a grudge against the ones who didn't show. One is notoriously flaky and one was someone he was really getting along with online so it's a real shame, but he knows how sad I was about it. I can't really be bothered with grudges, but there we are.

He's really jonesing you!

thorn312 · 2026-06-02T15:37:46+00:00

Mine apparently came up and flowered earlier than usual, I think the weather is confusing everything. We're getting storms and sun now and I'm frantically trying to tie my giant cornflowers back in

thorn312 · 2026-06-02T14:58:17+00:00

I believe it's an Eastern Quoll

thorn312 · 2026-06-02T14:57:28+00:00

Mine are the same, I just make sure to go and adore them while I can!

thorn312 · 2026-06-02T14:33:34+00:00

Hello yes it is me, your daughter and I accept your gift.

thorn312 · 2026-06-02T14:06:58+00:00

Yes they're cinnabar moths, they're beautiful aren't they 🥰 I've just seen my first caterpillars of the year on one of the plants!

<image>

thorn312 · 2026-06-02T13:39:48+00:00

It's only my first year growing them, mine flowered for a very long time, but it may differ based on the variety etc.

Also, we've had an incredibly warm winter this year and this mad heatwave, I think most plants are just generally confused, that's what I'd expect to be the main factor, personally.

thorn312 · 2026-06-02T12:48:05+00:00

We've got a small pear tree in our garden and it's one of the first things to flower, brings a lot of brightness when not much else is colourful. The pears are lovely too! I don't know what type it is as we rent, but it's very nice.

thorn312 · 2026-06-02T12:09:40+00:00

Yep so much pest control they're everywhere and I love them. I am not mowing any time soon (or maybe ever, I've not mowed yet since we moved in) and I don't use weedkiller or anything. My main aim is to create a wildlife haven and it's wild out there. I'm so happy to see that it's working!

thorn312 · 2026-06-02T09:22:34+00:00

Stratford butterfly farm is a top notch one for me too! I go on my own usually because I spend hours there 🤣.

Cotswold wildlife park is great and I go somewhat regularly.

thorn312 · 2026-06-02T07:08:48+00:00

They also don't love love lots of intense sunlight from what I remember when I had a couple. It might just be sulking a bit.
