#Permaculture and idiocy

Get one of those compressed air horns leave it around for people to see but tell them when they check in 30 mins after they hear the horn you release the hounds. 😁

I worked out my local farm where I buy my eggs from had some more chickens arrive by cracking an egg. I am the egg whisperer šŸ˜‚.

But really it's just the biology' and it all makes sense because I know it was there in the chickens they didn't buy in, because I gifted them some of the things needed.

So if you have some chickens get biochar in their gizzards and some Effective Microbes fed to them in their water.

It will get them innoculated with Purple Non Sulphur Bacteria (PNSB) like Rhodopseudomonas Palustris. These bacteria have a relationship with the eggs( likely living inside them) which is why when if you look up recipes on how to grow these bacteria out they all involve eggs. One of the things these bacteria produce is carotenoids which gives them thier rich colour to seemingly help them photosynthesize. So with these guys in the chicken you end up with beautiful coloured yolks.

Buy antique better quality, holds it's value and there are always exceptions for antiques

Well if I ever go to Croydon again I know what to wear 😁

Been around for about 7 years now. Your neighbour just doesn't like you šŸ˜†

They did indeed have them on police vans in Cardiff and Oxford Street as a temporary thing.

Watching the UK’s Economy Collapse in Two Places at Once - The Quantum Economy.

Welcome to Britain, 2025. The weather is unpredictable, the trains are late, the bins are full—and the economy is in both rude health and imminent collapse, depending on which paragraph of the OBR’s Economic and Fiscal Outlook you read.

This is not an article about economics. This is an article about stagecraft—the fine art of keeping the show going with the curtains on fire.

āø»

Act I: The Magical Fiscal Deficit

The OBR has spoken. Growth is returning, inflation is falling, and the Chancellor has just enough headroom to deliver tax cuts without blowing the fiscal rules. The national debt may be Ā£2.7 trillion and interest payments surging, but don’t worry—because… something about GDP projections and a 5-year rolling average.

Meanwhile, the UK’s long-dated gilt yields are quietly staging a mutiny. The 30-year is hovering near 5.4%, the 10-year has breached 4.8%, and traders are watching the BoE’s short-term repo facility like it’s a hospital monitor for the pension system.

āø»

Act II: In Which No One Is Being Bailed Out (Except Everyone)

Short-term repo operations are now clocking over Ā£60 billion per week, and climbing. That’s more than the entire annual budget for education. It’s not QE, say the experts—it’s just a casual, opaque, high-speed liquidity transfusion into a completely-not-panicking financial sector.

We’re told this is normal. ā€œRoutine collateral top-up,ā€ they say. ā€œNo cause for concern.ā€

Odd, then, that the BoE launched ā€˜doomsday’ stress tests for the UK’s largest banks in the same month.

Even odder that M2 is quietly rising—by over Ā£120 billion since August—despite headline QT and tightening. One might conclude that liquidity is being injected through the back door while austerity gets paraded through the front like a vaudeville act.

But let’s not speculate. That would be a ā€œconspiracy theory.ā€

āø»

Act III: The Pension Funds Are Fine (Trust Us)

Remember 2022? The LDI crisis, margin calls, and gilt market death spiral? Of course not, because everything’s fixed now. Pensions are well-hedged, interest rate risks are managed, and solvency is assured—provided the BoE continues providing silent liquidity lifelines indefinitely.

Just ignore that tiny detail where the ONS wiped Ā£2.2 trillion off household wealth by tweaking the discount rate used to value pensions. It’s not a problem. It’s just a revision. A clarification. A small epistemological recalibration of reality.

Some people thought it meant house prices dropped. Others assumed they’d lost all their retirement savings. But don’t worry—the Institute for Fiscal Studies says the new method is ā€œworse than the old one,ā€ so everything balances out.

āø»

Act IV: Schrƶdinger’s Economy

We are now living in a quantum economy. The system is both solvent and insolvent. The market is calm but requires weekly liquidity injections. Growth is strong, except when it’s not. Public trust is high, provided no one checks the comment section under the OBR’s tweets.

In this economy:

• You are rich until the ONS says you’re not.

• Your pension is safe until the BoE stops propping it up.

• Your grocery bill is falling, unless you’re the one paying it.

• Inflation is under control, unless you live indoors and eat food.

āø»

Final Act: Nothing to See Here

The real crisis isn’t the balance sheet, or the yield curve, or even the repo injections. It’s the collapse of narrative control. The public doesn’t trust the numbers. The experts don’t trust the models. And the politicians are still trying to convince us that perpetual liquidity injections are compatible with a ā€œreturn to normal.ā€

But hey—at least the Spring Budget was balanced.

By that, we mean it delicately balanced on a rapidly eroding pile of assumptions, projections, and wishful thinking.

Carry on. All is well.

Unless you look.

I’m getting the feeling the UK may be the trigger for the next big crisis.

It's the road runner economy where everything keeps running until they look down and realise nothing is supporting it.

It's an incredible book probably one of my favourites, I think I have listened to it about 6 times now and I keep finding new things to think about šŸ˜‚. As I am guessing my outgoings DMs are a little broken again so I will email you.

I was trying to get in contact with: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Robert-Temple-3

I am trying to get him on the podcast to talk about plasma, biophotons and their relation to soil and plant life.. I have tried his publishers, people who interviewed him etc but no one responds to emails nowadays.

I guess I could make an account if you can't login, but I thought it might look better from an existing account that actually might have had at least some information filled in. I thought I might get flagged as a spam bot or something.

They should be fine its the frost that really messes up yacon. Even the super light other plants seem to be just fine kind of frosts.. I wouldn't be surprised at this point if leaving the freezer door open too long could kill yacon and mess up the tubers.

I didn't know Salmon Rushdie was a black football player, must be because I haven't had my 99p pint of coffee yet.

They are very productive if you layer up the soil at the end when they are starting to produce, that can of course help protect them from the frost too. They are photo period sensitive pretty sure it's the autumnal equinox that trigger them so you can trick them into producing sooner with some effort.

They are best roasted in my opinion as they are a bit sour due to oxalates.

It's something I have heard of but not really looked into a great deal, sounds really interesting though...I have added it to the never ending list ;)

I think he says he does it on the quench. I don't have space for storing the wood so I am burning green stuff with dry so I am getting some smoke when it struggles sometimes.

Got any leads on to where I might be able to find people referring to it as a plasma generator as I find that fascinating. Steiner refers to it as regulating the blood flow rather than pumping it. The EZ is electrical charge and plasma relates to ball lightning and other electrical phenomena too so there might be something to that.

Might have to try soon, tried to make a kefir curd based cheese before but it was a bit...acidic.

Wow I need to try something similar, that way I can business expense the milk because I need the whey to fight fungal pathogens šŸ˜‰ šŸ˜‰
