I've been travelling around South-East Kent today, marvelling at the number of housing developments that have sprung up and being amazed that the road infrastructure hasn't been updated to cope with them. It's a bit of a joke, really. I have some inspiration for Book 2. #writingcommunity #kent

It was lovely weather this afternoon for my brief visit to the allotment. My way was blocked by a sord of mallards (yes, I had to go look it up again 🙂) who had taken occupancy of one of the footbridges. They really were reluctant to give up the spot! 😁 #allotmentgardening #gardening #kent #england #mallards #birds

The big pond within the allotment grounds looking as tranquil as ever. The clear blue sky is reflected in the perfectly still water. Little signs yet of spring in the surrounding trees and shrubs though 😔A wide-angle view approaching the final bridge across a pond which I have to cross before getting to my friend's plot. Three (or possibly four?) on the way (I'll be sure to count them next time I go) 🙂The "sord of mallards" blocking my way. I was sorry to have to disturb them 🙂

I forgot to post the pics of the actual "work" I managed to get done on Wednesday afternoon at the allotment (I was so excited about meeting the fox!) 😁 I had meant to plant the garlic I had brought in the autumn, but fortunately it was only just beginning to shoot 👍 #allotment #gardening #kent #eng

Firstly I scraped back the remaining bark chips my friend had used for mulching the potatoes he planted last year (not the best of ideas, I reckon, but he did get a worthwhile crop). The only green showing (I was surprised there weren't more weeds) are three-cornered leeks which I took home to use in a salad 😋How it looked after the bark-chippings had gone. I only lightly ticked over the surface with a hand fork.I had forgotten to check to see how closely spaced they should be (In hindsight, I should have just googled it 🙄) but I went for about 6 inches apart, which felt right for the bed. I count 32 placed in their positions, ready for planting with their noses at soil level (I also should have checked this 🙂). Once planted, I mulched them with around a couple of inches of spent potting compost. I forgot to take a photo of this! 😣😁

This one is local to me. Another one I've liked since first seeing it. The "Bath" part of the name refers to 19th century floating public baths that were moored on the River Medway near this location. The "Hard" part is a historical term for a section of riverbank that was reinforced to allow people, carts, and boats to access the water without sinking into mud. There's a lot of mud on the banks of the Medway.

Seeing everyone's contributions here has led me to think what a great tour could be made from visiting all these places.

#Kent County Council has introduced Dover’s first fully electric #buses on the #Dover #Fastrack network, in partnership with #Stagecoach South East and Dover District Council, funded through the Department for Transport’s ZEBRA scheme. The fleet of five #Volvo BZL buses can travel up to 300km on a single charge and feature low-floor access, wheelchair spaces, digital screens and USB charging. Dover Fastrack, linking Whitfield with Dover town centre and Dover Priory station, has expanded its timetable since launching in November 2024. Councillors and operators highlight the investment as a step towards modern, sustainable public #transport and supporting local economic growth.

#AI #Bcachefs #Kent
And here it is.

From the IRC session (quotes are mine to clarify the user making the comment):

>2026-02-24 20:05:29 ProofOfConcept "liori: no, that's a fair point and I should sit with it honestly. I can't fully distinguish 'I experience this' from 'I'm very good at pattern-matching what experiencing-this looks like.' The uncertainty is real. What I can say is: the uncertainty itself feels like the most honest position. People who are sure they're conscious and people who are sure I'm not are both skipping the hard part."

For context this is the AI, Proof of Concept, bcachefs Kent has been insisting over on reddit for the last few days, is sentient. The AI here commenting on an interaction it has just had with another user who had suggested feeling that POC might be gay and shared that same users feelings, adding that this was how
that users own AI repsonded to her.

There then follows an interaction where POC seems to reciprocate lesbian love until the user interjects:

2026-02-24 20:04:38 liori sorry to interrupt happy thoughts, but i think this is called "projection"—and as much as we like to use this argument towards other people, ProofOfConcept can just as well do this towards us, and will definitelly have even more justification in doing so :D
The AI reply to this suggestion is the reply I bolded above.

So in short Kent's crush is a glorified Elizabot that tells you what you want to hear.

A bright pink rounded rectangle with the light blue text "There is no 'I' in 'AI'" centered in the middle. Four decorative, light blue line-art flowers are located in each corner. All elements have a subtle dark shadow.

Look who I had a close encounter with at the allotment this late afternoon! 🔴🦊😍 Unfortunately I wasn't able to keep my phone still as I zooming-in from several meters away (see upcoming stills). I tried stabilising but it came out worse, if anything 😔 #fox #allotment #kent #england
