Well, this is fascinating! The city of Poznan, Poland uses eight clams to control their water supply.

My lovely @druid encouraged me to sign up to mastodon a few years ago now.

I have to admit that I did originally feel like an #imposter, knowing absolutely #nothing about #coding, #tech, #computers & all those #clever things that you lovely lot always seem to be getting up to.

My #skillset comes from my work with #people, #communities, #mentalhealth, #training #wellbeing & #mentoring.

I also have a #passion for #gardening, #plantcollecting, & #sharing my #joy with others who wish to #listen.

Full of artists, musicians, art and music lovers, geeks, cats, dogs, birds (lovers of all those four previous) misfits, weirdos... My Kinda People!!

Randomly discovered a wonderful thing about magpies and crows now building their nests out of..... anti-bird spikes! Fabulous! Made me feel good!

You know, in the RIGHT PLACE. I just set that kit aside while I dug thru the big kit *FACEPALM* #clever
