Well, damn - when pre-emptively explaining a possible delay I didn’t factor in internet outage.

Plant of the Day

Monday 13 September 2021

In an area known as Gondwanaland, named after the ancient super continent, at Marks Hall Arboretum, Essex, UK, there is an impressive large planting of Wollemia nobilis (Wollemi pine). These evergreen coniferous trees from Australia are thriving with light green new growth that darkens with age. The trees have male catkin-like cones and spherical female cones with both being produced on the same plant.

The Sutyagin House (Russian: Дом Сутягина, Dom Sutyagina; also called Деревянный небоскрёб, “wooden skyscraper”, or Соломбальский небоскрёб, “Solombala skyscraper”) was a wooden house in Arkhangelsk, Russia.

The 13-story, 44-metre-tall (144 ft) residence of the local crime lord Nikolai Petrovich Sutyagin was reported to be the world’s, or at least Russia’s, tallest wooden house. Constructed by Mr. Sutyagin and his family over 15 years (starting in 1992), without formal plans or a building permit, the structure deteriorated while Sutyagin spent a number of years in prison for racketeering.

In 2008, it was condemned by the city as a fire hazard, and the courts ordered it to be fully demolished by February 1, 2009. On December 26, 2008, the tower was pulled down, and the remainder was dismantled manually over the course of the next several months. The remaining four-story structure burned to the ground on May 6, 2012.
