Omg it’s finally here! It was a career highlight to be able to spend my time making something like this! It came at a point when I was feeling very burnt out and it this was a project that breathed life into me again. I am so grateful to Cartoon Network for this opportunity youtu.be/IarVMeWtFVU?...

Dropped the car at the repair garage in the industrial estate today. Walked to the business park where the office is. Passed the spot where the electricity substation used to be, where the train line crosses the canal. Nostalgia moment...

Today is World Refugee Day. Here’s a poem called ‘Refugees’.

Refugees

They have no need of our help
So do not tell me
These haggard faces could belong to you or me
Should life have dealt a different hand
We need to see them for who they really are
Chancers and scroungers
Layabouts and loungers
With bombs up their sleeves
Cut-throats and thieves
They are not
Welcome here
We should make them
Go back to where they came from
They cannot
Share our food
Share our homes
Share our countries
Instead let us
Build a wall to keep them out
It is not okay to say
These are people just like us
A place should only belong to those who are born there
Do not be so stupid to think that
The world can be looked at another way

(now read from bottom to top)

Another bemused fledgling! This one (and a camera-shy starling fledgling) were on the doorstep of an abandoned building, looking as if they were waiting for someone to let them in. The window above the door was broken. I guess their nests were inside, and they haven't figured out how to get back.

What to do if you find a great tit fledgling in your holiday home? No idea how long it was there. We fed it. It took a long nap. Then short flights (~1 metre) around the kitchen. Outside, it flew to the hedge. The parents came that evening. No sign next day. I hope it was a happy ending! #birds

I deliberately killed a bunny today. I was driving, and saw it as I passed. It had been hit by a car earlier. Its backend was mangled and bleeding. It was crawling to the verge using just its front paws. It was never going to recover. I turned the car around, ran over it. Twice. 1/3(?)

Here’s a new poem called ‘Wild Weekend’.

Wild Weekend

Sunday – and the squirrels are lazing in their branches,
the sheep are congregating for morning service,
and the bears are sleeping off their sore heads.

The sloths are taking things slow, the hippos are wallowing,
the cats are curling up on the newspaper in front of the television.
The alpacas will spend the day in their fluffies.

Not everyone is taking it easy. The deer are up already
for a walk around the park. The ducks are planning a trip
across the lake. The salmon have gone wild swimming.

The snails are pottering about the garden, while the crows
scan its aisles for materials and a spot of DIY. The pigeons have split
up: some are hanging around the shopping centre,

others intend to spend the afternoon at the Test match.
The lions are having an old friend over for dinner, the camels
are baking, the spiders are browsing their webs, and the humans…

the humans are wondering where the weekend has gone
as they stave off the prospect of another beastly Monday,
questioning the natural order of things.

And now for today’s climate forecast …

Today’s Climate Forecast

And onto today’s climate forecast,
where we can expect to see a prolonged spell of inaction,
interspersed with patches of hazy promises
across many areas.

Over Westminster and other centres of government,
a build-up of hot air will cause inactivity to soar
to record levels over the coming days,
in spite of the high pressure.

Elsewhere, a front of chronic misinformation
will sweep in from the east,
bringing with it a thick band of climate change deniers
and the chance of scattered falsehoods,

while powerful gusts of idiocy and ignorance
look set to blow across social media.
Outbreaks of ‘We just got on with it in 1976’
and ‘It’s called the British summer, mate’ are likely.

In summary: unsettling.
