Hi @woolbotherer.bsky.social I have a complaint. The box you sent me with my pumpkins in is now haunted! 👻

I intended to plant 80 allium bulbs today, but by the time I’d done other things I’d ran out of ooomph. Tomorrow.

Random free shite I’ve picked up from the side of the road today: hanging basket for the chicken garden. Might just put a cabbage in it and hang it up for them to peck. 😊

I’d like some toast.

I’ve been out out. Birthday party. There was a quiz about the birthday person and I got 2/20. Someone that didn’t know her and just gate crashed her party could have done better.

It’s not normal while working to have an overwhelming desire to sit under your desk with your hands over your eyes, is it?

Come back please, Woody, it’s time to go to bed.

Ok it’s five o’clock. I’m off to deliver a gift to my neighbours to thank them for checking on the hens when I was away and also to say “I’m sorry you got upset coz you thought our goldfish had all been eaten by the heron when they hadn’t they were just hiding”.

I don’t want to do anything because all the things are boring, and I want to make a roof for the witch house.

It is raining. Woody is frustrated and does not like rain/being wet, having had the most glorious cats first summer. He is tearing about the house like a stripy Tasmanian devil.

Some little doodles I did on the plane and just went over with watercolour. They are based on the marble carvings you see on buildings in Greece. The middle one is beach cat. 😊

There is no line dancing this week due to a darts tournament. I am furious. 😡 Darts wankers.

Thankyou @woolbotherer.bsky.social for my tiny pumpkins! The Tiny Witches are thrilled with them. I also brought them back little gifts from my holiday: Elfie has a piece of green sea glass, Trinket a shiny silvery rock and Barbara a smooth round stone like the full moon. 🌝

I’ve got some nice cat pictures to show you today. Later. 😊 I will say, though, that the cats on this island are the chonkiest and most content I’ve ever seen in Greece.

This is where I swim/swam (?) husband took the picture while I splashed about out of picture yelling ‘don’t drop your phone!!!’

I’ve been in the sea, it was lovely. 😊 However, you’d never know that from my swimming style - cat thrown off a boat.

Good morning. Just a quick little picture while I eat my breakfast. ‘Woody in the Dove Cote’ (for context, these square buildings are dotted all over the island, and are ornate dove cotes)

This beach is scattered with debris after the windy weather. Some natural, a lot of plastic, sadly. I must be the only person here wishing they had brought a cordless hot glue gun to the beach, so I could stick the whole lot together to make a mythical sea beast.

My lunch today was not nearly as exciting as yesterday. Cheese and tomato sandwich. On the beach. With sand.

Good morning. Today you find me trying to paint some sort of holy goose that came to me in a dream, based on this fountain I saw t’other day and rather liked. It’s very tricky!
My sketchbook is open at my watercolour of the holy goose alongside my iPhone picturing a snap of a marble carved fountain.

Would you like to see some cats I have met? Of course you would.

Taken delivery of twelve tiny frames to make a gallery for the tiny witches. 😊

More 4am cuddles with Woody, and there were voluntary cuddles when he came in at 10 last night AND briefly on a breakfast visit this morning. I’m hoping he’s getting cuddlier now he’s a little bit older and the summer is past. 😊

Let’s see where Woody is. Oh, he’s over there. And I’m over here.

Lovely little coppery shiny slow worm in the kitchen earlier but I couldn’t take a photo to show you as I was in a hurry to get to Zumba.

I really don’t want to do any work, I want to make a tiny mermaid to take on holiday so I can photograph her on the beach.🙃

I’ve just remembered a lovely cuddle with Woody where he crept into bed and snuggled up to me purring and that was the best part of the day accomplished by 4am. 🥰
