INTRODUCTION
Although there will be a couple of minor items tacked on that the end, this post is mainly devoted to a thunderclap and a petition, both regarding an area of woodland that adjoins a Nature Reserve and is under threat from plans by supermarket chain Aldi.
SAVE QUESLETT TREES
There are two parts to this, starting with…
A THUNDERCLAP
To participate in the Thunderclap you need to be on facebook and/or twitter and/or tumblr. Below is a screenshot formatted as a link:
Linked to the Thunderclap is a petition, a screenshot of which appears below, again formatted as a link.
The main business of this post ends with…
A MESSAGE TO ALDI (AND PLANNING AUTHORITIES)
I feel very strongly that Aldi should accept the initial negative decision, especially given how many supermarkets (including two other Aldis) are located close to this area already. I am a fairly regular customer of Aldi stores in my own part of the world, but that may not remain the case if Aldi do not reconsider their stance over this. I conclude with some advice for all involved in this decision to consider, tendered in the form of a picture created by Anna from a comment I posted on her blog:
PHOTOGRAPHS
Here are some of my recent photographs, before I finish off with a couple of minor items.
A COUPLE OF NUGGETS
The last few days have seen two numbers come up for me:
- 300 – the number of successive days on which I have solved at least one of brilliant’s problems – here is one of them for you:
- 900 – my Lumosity Performance Index has just exceeded this value (after this morning’s workout it now stands at 917. Below, concluding this post is first the breakdown of my LPI, and second a little puzzle for you:
Solutions will be in a future post.

Very nice! My favorite shot is the 19th from the bottom with the interesting shadow and light.
Thank you 🙂
Your preservation nature qoute is great but it’s sad that we still need to repeat it so often. What is it the nature destroyers doesn’t get? We need nature!
You are right, and the picture you created based on it is also great, which is why I used it. You are also right that we should not need to use it.
I’m glad my picture can be useful. I hope that we one day can say “well it was good words and good picture, but nowadays the saving nature thinking comes natural for everyone”.
