Scotland is lovely this morning. Blue skies 100s of Scotch Argus, hills covered with flowers.

Read: Bread Making for Beginners by Bonnie Ohara ★★★★☆ I’ve usually made bread by following the instructions on a bag of flour. Even the first recipe in this is an improvement.
Wisdom of the crowds? My favourite so far “Is Brexit karma”.
We had a walk round Loch Ardinning reserve this morning.
Turned out warm, still and clear despite the forecast.
Grass drying from the rain, sparkling.
Fair number of butterflies around, Small Tortoiseshells, Ringlets, some Whites and a lot of Painted Ladies. One or two others I didn’t ID, including a duller red/brown one.
Plenty of blue damselflies and some small red dragonflies.
Saw one wee lizard wriggling away through the grass and one on the wall. The latter looked as if it was regrowing its tail.
Jelly ears
If I embed tweets on this blog I usually just paste in the url to the tweet and it auto-magically embeds.
Today I did this but as the tweet was part of a thread it brought other tweets in. I checked the tweet embed page and although you can hide the thread with that pasting it into WordPress seems to strip the javascript and you still get the thread.
This page,Twitter Embeds — Support — WordPress.com came to the rescue
[tweet https://twitter.com/lewiswake/status/1155162973683556352 hide_thread='true']
gives a nice single tweet.
NB, for Scottish educators, this is not true for Glow Blogs at the moment. I suspect due to our version of Jetpack?
