In farm news: look at my best buddy!

At the farm yesterday, I lost my phone. And obviously I'm very stressed about it.

@earlymodernmel.bsky.social has been throwing little paper bird gliders for the cats while I am away. They do not appreciate her enough.

I reckon you can learn a lot about the atmosphere in various Oxford colleges by looking at what they choose to name their cats (courtesy of @oxfordclarion.bsky.social ). We should all aspire to the energy of a Teabag, Isambard Kitten Brunel, or an Admiral Flapjack oxfordclarion.uk/college-cats...

I've been using my lunch hours to work my way systematically thru the museum, starting with gallery 1. I've made it to gallery 6 and now's the time to start sharing the photo catalogue of Beautifully Weird Museum Stuff I've been amassing on my phone.

Resisting the urge to wake up @earlymodernmel.bsky.social and tell her about the birbs.

I've been waking up early to write and there is BIRDSONG at the new flat.

Erin J @fourfootedbeasts.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

The other main thing is that @earlymodernmel.bsky.social is our new flatmate and the cats show her exactly as much respect as they show me.

We've moved house and the main thing is that the cats now have Big Windows.

Also I was putting the ducks and geese to bed and my BGF (Best Goose Forever) refused to go to bed. Just stood there, honking away at me.
