I know Firefox is bad now because of the lack of privacy, and Vivaldi is bad because chromium, and Windows is bad because it's spying on me, and my tv is plotting to kill me and my phone is sending every detail of my life to whoever pays, and AI is in everything and everything and everything and and and and...
What I don't know is where on earth you all find the time. Or especially the energy.
I can barely manage to work my job, eat, shower, look after the house. Best I can do after work is have a cup of tea and a sandwich and try to stay awake until about 9pm.
I don't know how I could then do all sorts of additional complex computer stuff after the time I spend doing computer stuff at work.
Please don't take this as a criticism. If you're able to devote all that extra energy to making your computer compute differently then that is great, definitely. I just don't know how. Are all your days significantly longer than 24 hours or something? Just reading about it is exhausting.
Went into the garden, needed to plant the tulips and irises that I bought last week. There's a longish tub outside my back porch that had flowers in last summer, I have no recollection of what was in there, just some pretty flowers that have long since moved on.
But I was rooting out weeds from the tub, prepare it for the new flowers, and there were four corms deep in the earth! Again, not a clue what I had planted there before. But hopefully they'll grow and surprise me in the summer.
(I put the tulips and irises elsewhere.)

Garden centre was nice. At this time of year, very much in between seasons, some empty shelves where the summer flowers and herbs will go, lots of boxes and racks of things waiting to be part of a display, and so on. But still lots of spring bedding plants and all-year shrubs, and some things that smelt lovely.
I bought the seed potatoes I wanted, and some tulips and irises that I'll attempt to grow outside the back porch. I also bought garlic; I don't know if I'll be able to grow it successfully but you never know if you don't try.
I have a quick question about the garlic for my #gardening friends:
It seems like I should wait just a little bit before planting the garlic out. There might still be some real harshness left in the winter. Should I just store the bulbs in a cool, dark, dry place until I'm ready to use them?
