    Servant’s optometrist gave minion a tube of Optase night time dry eye lubricant. It worked pretty well. Awoke without sandman eyes. And decent vision which lasted until wheelie bins were schlepped. Triffids pollen took him then.

    Doc Strabismus says about 3 months to resolve, maybe with cyclosporine drops.

    In #ScienceFiction there was The Day of the #Triffids by #JohnWyndham. One character was #Coker , a nasty chap whose pre-disaster occupation had been speaking to order.
    "Subject no object" was his pitch, he would argue or rouse the popn for anything, if paid.

    #Farage has already been very expensive for very nearly all of us.

    The Great Outdoors is a little windy right now in Te Whanganui-a-Tara

    I always imagined this was about the Nullarbor… i only travelled that road once by bus. It was long. I’m sure Ive posted this for a previous JFN … some songs have it all.

  12. @bananabob Triffids stole all the glory. There was a tv series and radio drama. #Triffids

  13. If you live in #Hackney and *really* like either #TheSmiths, #Blur, #TheCranberries, #KaiserChiefs, #Babyshambles, #Courteeners, #StephenDuffy, The mighty lemon drops, #Triffids, #Pretenders, #Sleeper, #Suede, #NewOrder or #TheZutons then you should email your councillors to have a highway named Stephen Street Street after the producer of the above acts.
    It would both recognise an artist who was born in Hackney according to Wikipedia, as well as obviously being funny, and also increase tourism

  18. Have you ever wondered where John Wyndham got the idea for the eponymous human-munching abulatory plants in his classic 1950s sci-fi novel The Day of the Triffids? If so, this plaque in Glasgow's Botanic Gardens provides an answer. Admittedly, it's nowhere near the true one!

    That'll just make it tetchy.

    Meanwhile, the pampas grass is growing so quickly, I can HEAR IT CRUNCHING.

  20. CW: Eye Contact

    Comparing my original my 2017 October drawings to my 2023 you can see how I got comfortable with cartooning with human characters but not a lot changed with non human characters.

    Granted I drew Carlos Villarias' Dracula for 2023 and he emoted far more dramatically than Lugosi.

  21. Dear Tree Friends and friends of #trees,

    As some may know, people talk to
    #bees (#traditional), hug trees and climb #bee hives. Well if a wer-bee they do, otherwise they have to make do with tree #climbing.😆

    Talking of
    #bamboo, which I was not. I have some toilet #paper made from bamboo to #commerate Thomas Crapper. The #inventor of the sit down #Victorian privy. And awarded a Royal Warrant.
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Crapper

    Maybe I can get a pic. I have a semi working camera on my
    #GNU-Debian. Lo-res. 📷

    Anyway back to the trees (bamboo is a grass). Do you think they will be able to grow trees on the
    #moon (#rewilding) or #terraforming? It would be a huge #task. Maybe we could start with Australia, which is getting drier than Delhi. Sheep are dropping, like flyers in an election.

    Other useless
    #questions I have been #considering:
    - Should trees be allowed to walk, after being genetically modified into Oil producing
    #Triffids?
    - Can weather
    #forecasting now be considered science fiction?
    - If soil is alive, what happens when it
    #mutates, rather than becomes #extinct?

    Anyway enough gibbering from me. I have a call to make.

    Have a great day and remember...

  23. It's funny that so many folks thought of "The Day of the #Triffids" with the appearance of the #auroras. Maybe it was a kind of harbinger, though, since #H5N1 #Avian_Influenza really can make you go blind.

  24. So, that "aurora" last night. Anyone spotted any plants moving around yet?

  25. After 4 months of my absence and a wet and warm Los Angeles winter/spring, the garden has some spectacular weeds to sort out.

  26. @jcroisant

    Maybe The Day Of The #Triffids.

    Although, if I'm mentioning #JohnWyndham, I'd also like to encourage people to read The Trouble With Lichen, which has great social observation and relevance to modern capitalism.

  27. I am going to have to get some "Caution: Triffids" signs made up for my porch.
    Double-checked online, and for the specific variety of chilli plants (Hot Lemon), I have found lots of places saying 18 to 24 inches, with some saying up to 36.
    So why are some of mine now passing six feet tall?

  28. #TIL #cenobite is not a word that Clive Barker made up 😅 Not being especially steeped in the monastic life, I suppose I can be forgiven for not running into it until listening to the audiobook of The Day of the #Triffids. It nearly caused me to do a spit-take! Anyhow if you don't know, a cenobite would be a person involved in community-oriented monastic life, as opposed to the hermit life. Fun with #vocabulary!
