That's not proper reporting. Unless the reader already knows the background, namely that those 2 "woman" boxers are actually male, the reader has no idea about the grievance. There's no mention or clarification that the boxers are actually transgender biological males.

After a few weekends break from Farmers Markets, we're back this weekend with some new season apples. We're also just picking our greengages and these exquisitely delicious little mirabelles. Unfortunately we have so few, and they'll sell out quickly!

Our 2024 Rondo looking like a modest crop, vines extremely healthy, grapes just starting "veraison", (the ripening process), which continues for the next 2 months, as the grapes continue to grow, turn black, and get sweet and fully ripe. #IrishWine #RedWine

I've admired this unusual trio of weeping wych elms for many years, as I pass them while driving along the coast road by Clontarf. I've also wondered at how they've escaped Dutch Elm Disease. Recently while passing, my heart sank as I saw 2 of them suddenly afflicted and dying.

If I had a reg. plate for sale, with just 2 zeros, I bet I could charge this guy literally an arm and a leg for it, and he'd probably pay me!! 😁 (Spotted in north Wales) Heather

Ashmead's Kernel is still hanging on our trees. An incredibly delicious apple with unique flavour and texture. It needs to be left long and late on the tree, before harvesting, and then stores well for many months. #IrishApples #LocalFruit

This is how it's done. Very frustrated w our local growers who picked these more than a month ago. One of the greatest apples of the past 300 years.

Today, by sheer accident I happened to notice I was just a couple of miles off the 240,000 miles on the trusty old VR6, so I waited to capture the exciting milestone as the clock turned😀! Then I shifted down to 3rd and left that GTR behind me in the dust!😎 #VWcorrado #VR6

Transplanting an orchard! Today we're digging up 15 year old pear trees, for replanting in a new home. Thanks to Bill, the best digger operator in the world! Looked after properly, these replanted trees might even resume fruiting next year. #IrishFruit #IrishWine

"Threads", the truly shocking, groundbreaking movie brought the HORROR of nuclear war, and the frightening plausibility of it happening, to every household in 1984. I see it's available again to watch on YouTube. The premise back then: Iran/USA/Russia... youtu.be/9686KxSiXJY?si…

WOW, salt on the windows in County Carlow, and probably also even further inland than Carlow. Alan is almost 100km from the south coast, from where the salty sea-spray was carried in on the southerly winds of #StormEowyn
