I've lost weight because I'm not eating FAST FOOD anymore.

It's kinda ironic how fast food actually slows you down.



Ok, another garden thing I can't identify.
I thought it was an Acer sapling had attached to an old root system. It looked exactly like an Acer sapling, even the buds, before it sprouted leaves.
So I wired it, anchored it, and planted it in a pot to bonsai it up.

But now it's sprouting leaves, I can see it's something else.
Checked loads of websites, nothing.



Anyone help?






⬆️ What is Acer?

This is my Acer about 4 years ago:



No new pics atm as it's currently recovering from a massive pruning.



Friend of mine put this together in quarantine. He did such a good job! Also helps that I think this is Billy Joel's best (but weirdly underrated) song:

I think this is a Crab Apple tree.
And going by the bark/trunk, possibly crossbred with the Acer.

A Crab-Racer Tree perhaps? Maybe it'll move sideways as it grows??



All good people are asleep and dreaming.
MasterClass Quarantine Edition - SNL



Tom Hanks At-Home Monologue - SNL




Yeah, watched that last night out of curiosity as much as anything. Not especially funny, if I'm being honest, though parts of it were pretty good. I admire the attempt, though.

I liked Weekend Update and the Carole Baskin skit, It starts at 1:50 in the top clip.

Yep, admired the attempt, good to see Tom Hanks is doing well.



This is more neutral than positive, but: I'd already moved to a "permanent nine-o-clock shadow" beard last year, but for now in the quarantine I'm extending that to past the jaw. Before I was still keeping pretty clean-shaven up to the jaw line but now it's just the super short scruff everywhere. Looks okay, easier to maintain, easy to go back on.



More growth from the mystery-root thing I planted:




The Can't-remember-what-they-are's are growing well:



And the mystery bulbs are going well too
You can just see the mystery-root thing at the bottom right corner in this one too.

What sort of vehicle you gonna haul all that stuff to the farmer's market in?



The Triffids should fetch a pretty penny each.
