thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 19/06/2026So we were looking for a guard dog, and she became available. She was biting her sister, so yeah - she fits the job description. She became an amazing guard dog. But also - sometimes - quite astonishly badly behaved. 000

thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 18/06/2026"So I'm not the world's nicest dog. But who else gonna cover your sorry ass?" #dogs 050
thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Remember what happened the last time you told me to "budge up"? Don't you learn? #dogs 030
thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 18/06/2026So I bit you. Are you bleeding? Are your bones broken? Get over it. You are goddamn lucky to have me looking after your sorry ass. #dogs 010

thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 16/06/2026So I gave Bsky my age verification photo, and it welled up with tears. 000

thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Street trees at a friend's. She hates the endless fallen leaves and mast. But the council says "These trees are good for you in more ways than you know. So, suck it up." #thicktrunktuesday 030

thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Clear felling in a part of the forest. Logging in the rest of it was selective. #ForestFriday 030
thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Re: water and anything new. It won't be news to anyone, but a farmer put it nicely in a recent interview: "British weather used to be sunshine and showers. Now it's drought and deluge." 000
thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 07/06/2026A patch of clover left for the bees. It's been No-Mow May because of the heat and drought. #LawnFlowers #WildflowerHour 0112
thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Sometimes the council grasscutters spare the flowers. #wildflowerhour #LawnFlowers 070
thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Just this. Don't kick their asses after they're on it. The users, the addicts. Half of them, most of them, didn't know what they were getting on or even that they were getting on anything at all. Just try to keep them, the people, any of us, from getting on it. #booksky P K Dick. A Scanner Darkly 010
thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 06/06/2026So. The church is having an open day. Maybe I'll catch fire. Or maybe the bibles will. Let's find out. #churches 010
thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 05/06/2026So I finally went to the opticians. You're screwed, pal, they said. 000
thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Bite your sorry ass? Why not? The mess you people have made of this planet. #dogs 000
thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 05/06/2026My self-help book - "I can shut up. I will shut up" - is not available in bookshops. But I will come to your house and talk about it non-stop for days. #BookSky 030
thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 05/06/2026A lake in the forest. Despite years & 100s of hours dogwalking here, it was last October that I learned it was manmade. Probably in the 1890s. It's about 50 acres. Roughly the same size & shape as the Serpentine in Hyde Park, if that's meaningful. #ForestFriday 060
thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Funny thing about these dogs. It was hate at first sight. Then they were kind of besotted. Then indifferent to each other. How does that even work? #dogs 050
thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Maybe dogs should be our overlords? They'd have to work hard to do a worse job of it #dogs 041

thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 04/06/2026It's not that I like the humans. But from self-respect, I look after them. So, clear off pal, before I tear you a new one. #dogs 031
thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 04/06/2026From Don Juan. Sometimes Byron was absolutely on the money. We learn from Horace, 'Homer sometimes sleeps;' We feel without him, Wordsworth sometimes wakes #poetry 031
thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Smile for the camera. Please. Pretty please. Well then. Suit yourselves if that's your attitude. The fancy treats stay in my pocket. #dogs 020
thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 04/06/2026If they were a cop show mismatch, what would it be called? "He played by the book. He was a maverick. Together, they still didn't get results." Dumb and Dumber comes to mind. But only because the previous dog was a genius. Ferocious too. Would have eaten these 2 alive. #dogs 050
thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 03/06/2026You got a scent? OK I'll call for back-up. #dogs 051

thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Self-seeded opium poppy in the driveway. I don't usually bother, but for this one the plan is to harvest some seed and see how the offspring turn out. #GardensHour 0152

thursdayschild @alsoatdeathsdoor.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Mexican fleabane shrugging off the heat. May highlights were poppies: field, opium & oriental. Low points: only half the overwintered tuberous begonias survived. #GardensHour 0123
