CatzzzUK 💙 @catzzzuk.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Valentine’s Day drive to Buckland-in-the-Moor. There was ONE sunny day this week and today (this morning anyway) was it.

CatzzzUK 💙 @catzzzuk.bsky.social · 13/02/2026Well this sucks. Thursday night the vacuum does its thing. Friday morning I take over, hitting the stairs plus the upstairs, the kitchen and the sunroom.
