Finally, the Orange Buffoon has said something that makes me titter. His hatred of windmills immediately brings to mind the phrase 'Tilting at windmills' - how incredibly apt.

I was horrified to hear that applying for a visa for the US requires disclosure of all social media accounts. A friend was denied a visa because of a post critical of the Orange Buffoon. Sm now - next a brain chip inserted to monitor our thoughts? '1984' is looking frightfully tame.

I wonder why I suddenly thought of the phrase 'No fury like a woman scorned'. I guess 'woman' could be replaced with - oh, whatever...

Should I be ashamed that I think it is utterly delicious that Trump and Musk have fallen out???? Not that it wasn't totally predictable, but it happened a bit earlier than I had expected.

How deeply embarrassing for the BBC: Zelensky speaking in Ankara this morning. BBC's text: 'He speaks Ukranian'. Honestly. Either show it with immediate translation or don't show it at all. I am pretty sure our licence fees would cover the odd interpreter.

For how long must we be exposed to constant coverage of red hats and boring smoke before the new Pope is elected? Am I in a minority to find this very, very boring? There are other important things happening in the world...

I am an avid reader of fiction. One thing that puts me completely off reading a book is a 'Prologue' - this hugely fashionable way of starting any story. The first few times I encountered one I didn't mind. Now it irritates me immensely. Just get on with the story, will you...

I have seen no posts about yesterday's demonstrations in the US. I am fervently hoping that is not because they were less successful than the first one. Does anyone know?

Watching a recording od 'Twitter: Breaking the Bird'. Interesting, but I am deeply frustrated by the fact that barely five words are spoken by the founders without a 'like'. I actually believed the use of that filler word was a sign of low intelligence. I don't suppose that applies to them.

Happy Sunday lovely phone family. It's frosty here, but at least it's light! I'm utterly bemused at how we've allowed our world to be shaped and controlled by greedy psychopaths. Clearly it's nothing new. When will we learn that they only serve themselves? Have a fab day 😘 #HaveCourageAndBeKind

Laika loves the beach so much her wag becomes a circle - she thinks she is a helicopter. Unfortunately, she got into something disgusting and ended up at the vet for a jag to make her sick. One full bowl of black, stinking stuff. Ah well, no more off lead beach walks for a bit...

Regardless of the fact that Zelensky has thanked the US many times, should he even have to? We are helping Ukraine because we don't want Russia to advance (- unlike Trump). We are protecting the West, not just one country.

In these depressing times I had a lovely five minutes on this morning's doggie walk, when two robins fed from my hand. I have tried for so long to get them to dare landing, and today they did. Unfortunately, I could not get a photo as my dog does not have opposable thumbs.

I fear that Trump will not live long enough to be properly made to suffer for his heinous acts. He will either die naturally, as those of us who share his age expect to reasonably soon, or someone will have the guts to assassinate him. A quick death is too good for him.

I am taking a break from this site and MSM. Trump's relentless march to destruction of all we hold dear is too distressing. I don't have decades of life left, so what I have I want to enjoy as much as possible.

Trump is meting out 'punishment' in the form of tariffs to those who displease him - like a primary teacher issuing lines. Like a bad teacher he realises that he can only get his way by bullying and 'slapping'.

Finally the storm is wearing off. Not before two visits to A&E after taking the dog for an essential pee and being blown over into the road, skin split on skalp. First stitches didn't hold, but at least the department was very, very quiet! Thank goodness for super kind people 1/2
