Smudge is starting Caturday with a long snooze.

This bee looks like he’s leaning on a bar!

A buff-tailed bumble bee standing with his back legs on a cluster of pink verbena flowers. At shoulder-height (do bees have shoulders?) in front of him is another set of flowers. He has his proboscis stuck into one like a straw.

Impromptu photo shoot with Smudge who was posing in the garden with the last of the flowers. Fortunately I had my ancient Nikon handy.

A fluffy tuxedo cat sitting in some long grass looking to the left. There are red and white flowers behind him.

The same cat now looking at the camera. I have framed him to the left to show the red valerian flowers on his right. They are balls of tiny pink blooms.

Met a rather handsome ginger cat this afternoon. I think this was his own personal bench.

The same ginger cat loafing. He has a white sock and is delightfully striped.

Shudder. The cursed ratio. I’d definitely vote for non-ironing. I mean if that had been on the side of a bus…

Always good to keep one eye on your favourite human mid-snooze.

Caught up on the Wham documentary this evening. What a wonderful hour and a half! So glad the footage was saved.

Idea for the government to combat droughts: make every Monday a bank holiday. There’s nothing like a bank holiday weekend to guarantee rain!

“What is this wet stuff falling from the sky, human?”

Cat sheltering under a tree in the rain.

“Seriously, human. Can you turn the taps off please?”

Rain! Finally! Smudge cat is furious though. He has no concept of drought.

Not sure about the new BBC Breakfast graphics at the moment. Seems quite distracting with the graduated tint at the bottom during reports plus the constant ticker. Not a fan at the moment!

Woke up and found it has rained! Finally!

I can’t see any pictures on here at the moment. Not sure if it’s me or this app!

Poor Smudge cat is feeling the heat today. But apparently that door is nice and cool?

battybunce.bsky.social @battybunce.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Is banning disposable barbeques a bit like closing the stable door after the horse (which is on fire) has bolted?

I enjoyed the eclipse on Tatooine last night.

Eclipse and lens flare looks like twin suns!

One of our hedgehogs being very glad of our water bowl last night.

I've just managed to make myself a pinhole camera. I'm quite pleased that I've used a Zeiss lens wipes box. Given that Zeiss make high-quality lenses, I'm sure that it will work brilliantly! #eclipse

From last night. Smudge helping with watering.

Wave your paws in the air like you just don’t care.

Fluffy tuxedo cat with his paws raised. He’s asleep. Glad he’s nice and relaxed while I’m running around like a loon.

battybunce.bsky.social @battybunce.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Finally. A little bit of rain. Smudge cat has forgotten what it feels like!!

020

battybunce.bsky.social @battybunce.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

My weather app keeps saying there’s a chance of rain. I know it’s not going to be enough. But PLEASE!

Smudge remembers when this straw used to be grass. At least his cat mint plant seems to be drought-tolerant.

Excellent camouflage on the news this morning.

If you look very carefully, there is a hedgehog under the chair in the middle of the patio. Then over on the left of frame another hedgehog walks up towards some water bowls. How nice to catch two on camera at the same time!

Quite concerned that I can smell smoke. It’s really windy too. Really hoping I’m just being paranoid.

Such a treat to see hummingbird hawk moths today at Hinton Ampner today. They obviously are thriving in the heatwave.

A hummingbird hawk moth pollinating a pink plant. Wings are a blur but you can see orange colours. The proboscis is sticking into the flower.

Golden hour last night with Smudge cat. He knows how to find the best lighting.

I'm sorry to ask for help again so soon, it's just our epileptic girl Mango has been in hospital for 4 days and we've also had 5 very wonky kittens (two who can't walk) brought in. A miracle would be lovely 😭
