I made a bit of a mess today. π I made a herb garden too. π
Out of volcanic rocks I had lying stacked against the house wall/fence by the back gate. π AND I made a new little potato garden (out of the few rocks I had left over!) between the two existing vege gardens for some of my overcrowded spuds coz I'm getting tiddlers, and although they are very tasty, I'd like some bigger ones too. π AND the neighbours' cat visited me just after I'd finished building the gardens and then cleaning up the mess, so there's a couple photos of her rolling around on the patch of grass I'd just pulled some from to mulch the potatoes with! She must like the smell of freshly cut grass just as much as I do!!!!!!!! π OR she just likes my scent, and looks forward to when the lockdown finishes, so I can pat her again!!!!! π Heheheheheh!!!!!!!! π In the meantime, *ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!* π
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
