Friends are the absolute best. Received this beauty from one in the post this morning because her and I share an abiding love of LCD Soundsystem. Gorgeous book, beautifully bound and with fantastic photos throughout.

Apparently it’s not warm enough for my feline housemate…. I mean who wouldn’t be getting under a fleecy blanket in a hammock on a day like today? Cats….
Picture is taken from one end of a window hammock. There are bits of an orange and white cat protruding at the edges but she is mostly covered up by the grey fleece blanket that comes with the hammock. 

It is extremely sunny in the photograph and I can assure you it is sweltering here….

Hahaha. It’s absolutely true. Only Sigourney Weaver and the cat escape at the end and I spent the whole film worrying about the cat!

Scene from a Withnail and I in the pouring rain. Withnail repeatedly enquires if the man driving the tractor is ‘the farmer’. This finally results in I exploding at Withnail  ‘Of course he’s the fucking farmer!’

Today with @drkoning.bsky.social summed up really… Absolutely fantastic day. 20. #lfc

I wish my cat understood that this is already my top speed for feline food preparation and the constant shouting and heckling isn’t the encouragement or motivation she believes it to be…

I love my blue cousins I really do. If they didn’t exist you’d HAVE to invent them. A new home and a new era begins and you’ve called it WHAT?
Social Media message from Everton FC announcing their new stadium that almost ruined them financially is called the ‘Hill Dickinson Stadium’ 

One hopes that was worth every penny. Ahem

A lot of heavy and serious subjects making up my feed today. I thought I might share a moment of respite for you to give yourself a break. My cat everyone.
Picture shot from beneath and slightly behind a cat’s window hammock. It’s a sunny day and Jonesy the cat is sleeping through it. 

Except all you can see is a foot poking out on one side curled and resplendent with pink toes on display. On the other side dangles a magnificent orange and white hooped tail. 

10/10 for catting skills.

Difficult day today but starting it right with this splendid 12” from my beloved Echo and the Bunnymen, featuring four live tracks recorded in Buxton 1981. Got this bargain from @vinylvaccine.bsky.social who you should check out and buy some records from by the way.

Just enjoying this gorgeous black and white vinyl edition of ‘Departure’ by the Vacant Lots. Produced by Sonic Boom and you can feel his influence stamped right through it. Today is a good day for lovely records. #NowPlaying #Vinyl
Pictures shows a disc playing on a record deck it is stroking as it is in black and white halves. 

The sleeve sits next to it and is in a of black and white plaid pattern of sorts.

Just quietly enjoying Sunday when this is jabbed through the curtains. The owner is asleep in the window hammock. Cat toe nonsense ensues.
White cat back leg appearing as though disembodied through the curtains.  The paw pads are perfectly and daintily pink. This is misleading as the owner usually lands on things with the force of a thousand dying suns!

Just thought I’d post this candid photo of Jonesy and her pink toe beans as she soaks up the rays in her window hammock. In my opinion we could all do with being a little more Jonesy. Not when she follows me into the bathroom like…
Picture shows my orange and white cat Jonesy as glimpsed through a crack in the curtains. 

She is in her window hammock sleeping in the sun and her pink paw pads are visible on one foot.  She is sunbathing and is the very picture of relaxation.

Around three but definitely no older than 4 I’d say. She runs things here now. One of our rituals is she gets a few treats at bed time whenever that is. This had led to some full and frank exchanges about what constitutes bed time! This is her speaking her truth to power!
An orange and white cat stood on my chest shouting about treats and the lack thereof!

Happy New Year lovely phone people. I woke up at 3am sick as a pike which was no fun and not the start to the year I wanted. So Jonesy is in charge today and as you can see she is very proactive.
Jonesy my orange and white cat is curled up in a sleepy ball on top of a white fluffy blanket. She looks a bit like an orange and white ying yang symbol

A special New Year’s Eve treat for Jonesy. We do try to encourage decorum around treats but this face is as close as we get to it. Lick-e-lix is a highly prized substance as you can see….
Picture of my orange and white cat Jonesy getting properly stuck in to her favourite cat yoghurt treat. 

She is biting at the end of the tube and slightly screwing her face up revealing that her greed setting is on high!

Merry Christmas friends. So many people on here brighten my day without ever knowing. I hope you all have a wonderful day.
Pictures shows the sleeve of Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures album. 

The famous mage is a “stacked plot” of the radio emissions given out by a pulsar, a “rotating neutron star”. It looks a bit like a black and white mountain range. 

This stacked plot though is shaped like a Christmas tree. 

At the bottom there’s a play on words ‘’Joy to the World’

What could be more festive that Joy Division eh?

Jonesy is utterly incensed about the gale currently blowing. Specifically with me and the fact that I am doing NOTHING about it. Here she is speaking her truth to imagined power…

Nothing like suddenly waking up at 3.30am and knowing you’re about to be really sick. I am shivering on the sofa now. Either something I’ve eaten or some vulgar bug. Tremendous. Call the horse doctor someone please.

Trying a bit of #BlackOps6 as I have Game Pass. Haven’t played a #COD game in years and let me tell you time has not been kind to the old reflexes. And that’s just on campaign. Think I’ll be swerving multiplayer. I don’t need a 12 year old key board ninja telling me I’m washed up!

Three years ago today I adopted this ragamuffin and it remains one of the finest decisions I ever made. I know it’s a cliche but she really did rescue me and not the other way around. Now she runs things, tail in the air and a headful of magic. My Jonesy.
Jonesy is shown an hour after moving in. A little orange and white cat of about 8 months lying sleepily in the middle of a huge bed. A position I might add that she continues to occupy 3 years later.

This is the face of a cat who has realised is too hot to play lure chasing. We tried for five minutes but she’s not the kind of cat to phone it in. She has slunk to the top of the cat tree and flopped huffily down.
Close up portrait air of Jonesy with her chin resting on the edge of the cat tree. She is and orange and white girl cat with a pink nose.  She has set her ears at the quarter to three position which always indicates disappointment!

She looks miserable directly into the camera resigned that it’s too hot to charge around shouting and chasing the lure which we usually do at this time.
