  I had some of these tonight, it was nice but would probably use less sugar next time. I reckon the ones left in the jar for a week or so will be nicer as they absorb more ginger flavour.

  The ones I'm really looking forward to are pickled with rosemary:

  Plums! Plums in ginger and port syrup, plum jam, pickled plums, etc. Last year every single one had a maggot in; this year, none.

• I want to get a dog but I have to work, how does everyone on broadway market do it ?

  I have a whippet and he's lovely, he could cope with 1 hour of walking a day but gets more like 2 hours a day and benefits from that. I don't think there are many breeds that need less though, so a whippet would be a fantastic choice.

  I think @Velocio will struggle to find a rescue that will rehome to someone living in a flat. Nowhere let us adopt because our garden is not fully enclosed - personally I think that's madness, our dog has a great life, but all the rescues seem to have very strict rules and no leeway.

  Thanks for the offer, but I should have said, I want one that can do wireless.

  Anyone got any tips for a small (60 or 65% probably) keyboard that's in stock, in UK layout? Keychron would be perfect but no stock.

• That Starmer fella...

  Take a look at Michael Deacon's Twitter feed. He's a right wing hack but as well as Boris, he's currently being super critical of Nadine Dorries and also highlighting negative coverage of the government's treatment of homeless people too.

  The right wing press aren't a homogeneous mass and at least some of them are very sensitive to what they perceive to be competence - something they often value above ideology, at least as long as ideology is within a certain acceptable boundary.

  Starmer has what they view as competence in spades, and Corbyn didn't. It's superficial, but I think a huge portion of the public think the same way.

• Does anyone know anything about gardening?

  Doesn't look like bindweed to me (I would know as I've got a garden full of it) -really characteristic heart shape to the leaves.

  

  I pull it up whenever I see it and over a couple of years it seems to be getting less vigorous, but I don't think it's gonna die completely for a long long time.
