RE: ecoevo.social/@BathNature/1158…

Wat hebben de Engelsen een leuke naam voor harig knopkruid (Galinsoga quadriradiata): Shaggy soldier - slonzige soldaat.


More photos from the New Year Plant Hunt in Bath City Centre yesterday - Shaggy Soldier, Winter Heliotrope, Winter Aconite and Lenten-rose.

The name probably doesn't translate well - 'shaggy' means untidy, unkempt or messy.
in reply to Bath Nature

I translated it as ¨slordig¨, which results in a similar alliteration as in the English name. The Dutch name ´ḱnopkruid' would translate back as ´ḧairy buttonweed´.

Continuing the trend of not thinking to much, and just going down the path that feel fun in the moment. (and only 3s here =D).
Went as collorful and vibrant as I could; its fun to still find new corners in the @hydra landscape

I’m not making any New Year’s Resolutions - haven’t done for many years now. Instead, I have a few thoughts about keeping my mental health positive in the coming year which I hope will resonate. Which would you recommend most? You can choose more than one. Kindly chat welcomed, thank you for reading this far. #ChatHuman #NewYearResolution

I have said make more things for your dolls house, as that seems to bring you the most pleasure.
But also limit news, and not dwell on the world events more than you have to, if you can't influence it in any way.

I am doing likewise, while working on the big house, in the hope that it will still be saleable.



As with last week, I am adding backup #BikeNite questions due to lower holiday activity:

We had a question a long time ago about acronyms. I learned about MGIF (Must Get in Front) which explains a lot of behavior I see from riders and drivers on the road. It made me think about sayings in general:

Q2. What cycling-related idioms/sayings/etc do you know of? Like "Keep the rubber side down".

Never heard of Raynaud's (just looked it up).

Anyway I thing the no bad weather saying goes well in replies to "I can't believe you went out with that weather" and is rather a dick move when addressed to someone that chose to stay home, whatever the reason is
@ascentale @bikenite

in reply to Phil (ascentale)

Never heard MGIF but related is “Cat 6”. In the US, the sanctioning body of bike racing specifies 5 categories of racers and a points system for moving between classes, from Cat 5 (rank amateur) to Cat 1 (pro, effectively).

“Category 6”, then, is a disparaging term for dudes (mostly) who demonstrate their fitness and worth by treating pooualr road riding routes (or even commutes home) like they’re Merckx in the Liège-Bastogne-Liège.

Lovely Peeps! Today I learned there are very specific colours traditionally used in Japanese art of all kinds (painting, textiles, etc.) - *and* there is a Wikipedia page that shows them all!

I love some of the names : Ibis wing, black kite, glazed persimmon, chestnut leather, weathered bamboo, simmered seaweed, 'the brown of a distant river', 'Contemplation in a tea garden' (!!) and more. 🥰

(h/t to @wilpercy for mentioning the link in a thread! 🙏 )

So we’ve invaded a sovereign nation with boots on the ground and forced a regime change.

But I’m sure this time will be different.
