Hey @manton, any chance you can look at this when you have a moment, please?
[@help](https://micro.blog/help) my blog doesn't seem to have updated since March 20th. I can't see any errors in the logs. Just did a full rebuild as well, but it makes no difference. Any ideas?
The invasion destroyed their hopes that Russia might become a normal, non-violent country.

The Economist’s Next Year in Moscow is an incredible podcast series. (So is Scam Inc).
🍿 A Complete Unknown (2024) - ★★★★☆
I really enjoyed this take on Bob Dylan’s electrifying personal highway to rock ’n’ roll superstardom hell amidst the increasingly furious shaking heads and would-be axe-wielding cable choppers of the folk establishment and elder guitar heroes.
Probably helps if you’re a Dylan fan. If you’re not, or you’re easily bothered by historical/factual inaccuracies in a “it’s the truth even if it didn’t happen” style movie then you should probably give it a miss.
Superb cast with highlights being Timothée Chalamet’s perfect portrayal of the obsessively creative introverted asshole Dylan and Monica Barbaro’s sensitive counterpoint as the already-a-superstar, slightly uptight but all-too-forgiving and exploited Joan Baez.
This substation fire is nearer to where I live than Heathrow.
Woke up around 1 am to discover we had a power cut. Helicopter overhead, no mobile signal, no way of finding out what was going on.
Eventually mobile signal returned and called 105. Recorded message informed me that there were 67,000 homes without power from Northolt to Heston, and power expected to be restored by 3 am.
For a few moments I thought Starmer had nuked Moscow.

Seed potatoes out for chitting. A bit earlier than last year!
A common moorhen, not to be confused with a red-knobbed coot.

Well, what do you know?

I hope everyone is watching and listening.
