If you stick a nail in the nest of a solitary mason bee the bee will pull it back out. Don't think the bee just rocked up and dragged a nail out by chance, and happened to be in front of a video camera.

What age kids?

Thanks. I just don’t seem to get out on the bike at night so much these days. It’s complete overkill for my little commute!

I’m selling my Exposure 6 pack light.
If you don’t know this is a brute of a light, and runs happily for hours on the low setting and for a couple of hours on the bonkers 1800 lumen full power setting.
It is the first generation model, ie it only has high / med / low, it doesn’t have the reflex mode nor the remote and predates the digital screen. It had new batteries and on off switch fitted at Exposure a bit over a year ago.
It comes with two handlebar mounts and a charging lead
It has been well used and is far from pristine but functions perfectly.
I’d like £120 posted in the uk.

I use a leather belt, and wrap it around a towel dryer in the bathroom. The rough side is treated with Dovo stropping paste and the smooth side just as it comes. I use it to strop my shaving razor. Works amazingly well.

Leave it, they'll fade quite soon

It's another weight saving!

They are designed to replace the cable ferrules!

Sorry, it's a Christiania small box
It's this one, which I bought here

I have one which I got to carry my dog around in.
Sadly my dog passed away and her replacement doesn't take to it.
It's in Reading though.

I'm on several XR groups on the various communications channels, and I am genuinely astonished at the effort that is going on behind the scenes right now to clear up.
Each site has been scoured clean, all the stuff that is reusable has been catalogued and shared so people can reclaim it (a lot got left behind for various reasons)
Donations are being made to various organisations who offered help and sanctuary.
None of this will make the mainstream media so I thought it would be worth sharing around.

Not to mention that the 'awareness' is largely there. Most people have known about this for quite a long time, and it's now commonly accepted and common wisdom that 'something has to be done'.

What on this earth makes you think that? Ignorance of the situation is a massive issue. The lack of truthful reporting in the media is a massive issue.
The platforming of climate denial is a massive issue.
One of XR’s demands is to make sure people are properly informed. Who else is campaigning on that issue?

It’s a weird strategy. It’s almost as if the police want this to succeed. Do they think we’ll all go home now?
It’s just going to lead to more disruptive actions, more people for the police to deal with and ultimately success for XR.

And fruit and chilli and hazelnuts

If you are deep within a small group of environmental activists who are living on porridge and lentils and wearing hemp clothing and you wash your breakfast bowl under a running tap instead of washing all the utensils in a bowl at the same time (when there’s a pile that needs washing) and all that hot water is running down the plug you arouse suspicion to put it mildly

There was a South American drumming troupe around who were pretty authentic/ ethnic. There are other drummers, the Samba band, which is a group as diverse as the rebels themselves and anyone can join any day. As you may notice they don’t have to have any experience!
There may have been more drummers though.
The vocal output does leave a bit to be desired I agree.

It actually transpired he wasn't really a rebel at all. We were based in a building and we got "infiltrated"
This was the first clue and we got busted soon after he left. His lack of awareness should have rung alarm bells.
They just confiscated tons of stuff we were planning to use, on the grounds it was likely to be used to cause a public nuisance.
It's a bit of a pain as the cops will just bin it, straight to landfill probably. I can't see them sorting it for recycling.

Another aspect of XR is the coming together of people, sharing knowledge and skills and making useful connections. I've been "working" with people who've travelled from all over the place to carry out a particular action.
I now know 30 or more people I didn't know on Sunday. That is repeated and spread across thousands of people and is possibly as powerful as any of the actions themselves.
Rather hilariously we've been playing cat and mouse with the cops, we've had proper cloak and dagger pursuits and lost them in underground stations and stuff.
It's been mostly unsuccessful, as almost none of what we had planned has been pulled off, but that's actually brought us all closer, given us a lot of laughs and all of us are still free and still conniving cause more disruption.
What you see is a fraction of what is going on behind the scenes. The motivation for all of it though is what other option do we have?
Join an affinity group, get stuck in. The system will be changed this way. It is probably too late, but at least people are trying.

I've been in the thick of it since Sunday, and we have some young people with us who're really concerned about the future.
What has surprised me is how little they know.
One bright young man was washing his porridge bowl under a running hot tap, he was soon put straight. His involvement in the action I'm a part of has been a huge learning curve for him and many others.
The lack of education isn't his fault, it is another systematic fault. He's been well educated in many things but minimising his use of resources isn't one of them.

They are not the ones going to save the planet. The planet will be fine.
They are the ones making sure that there are structures in place to make sure the human race is saved.

I just bet a hyena £1000 that he couldn't swim across a river and now he's laughing all the way to the bank.

I got this little beauty for my birthday. It’s a very special little knife in many ways.

This came up on Gideon Coe last night, just lovely.
