The amount of money that Trump and his family have made while DJ is in post is obscene. The fact that he 'trumpets' the fact he doesn't take a salary really is the cherry on the bun. Vile creature.

Emka Dog travelled from North Macedonia ten months ago... She crossed many borders to get to rural Suffolk but hasn't crossed a line since her arrival.

There was something going on in the cabbage field this morning... unlike Peter Rabbit, we didn't lose a shoe.

I can no longer deal with Twitter/X - it is full of extremists, 'citizen journalists' and bots blowing smoke up willing arses. Emka Dog has the right idea... sod the mist or the rain, I'm going to make the most of my day.

Emka Dog came to rural Suffolk from North Macedonia. She likes to keep an eye on things.

It's National Dog Day. Emka Dog is from North Macedonia but she can join in, eh?

Emka Dog came from North Macedonia. Her arrival was organised/coordinated by a UK charity. Sure, ED has her issues (she was rescued from the street as a pup) but I knew this beforehand and we've worked on her manners since she arrived.

Emka Dog (a rescue from North Macedonia) is a year old. I think that watching the news is aging her!

Not the best of pictures, but I'm happy to share my sofa with Emka Dog from North Macedonia even though she makes my trousers hairy!

Paul Swallow @hirundorustica.bsky.social · 25/12/2024

Good morning! Merry Christmas! Santa has come for Emka Dog and Oliver Cat but not for me - I must have been on the naughty list...

Paul Swallow @hirundorustica.bsky.social · 13/12/2024

I know that my posts are mainly about Emka Dog... but she is very lovely!

Paul Swallow @hirundorustica.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Just over a week ago, Emka was in North Macedonia. Now she's in Suffolk... I'm wondering if she hates me...

Emka arrived here from North Macedonia a week ago. I'm wondering when she'll start to relax...

Emka, my dog from North Macedonia, seems to be channelling her inner dormouse...

Paul Swallow @hirundorustica.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

I have a dog. Her name is Emka. She comes from North Macedonia.

Emka has just arrived from North Macedonia. She is going to be a handful but worth it, I reckon. She stole a duster from the sofa so I gave her the rope toy (thank God I bought one). She put it on her leg - it had been in her mouth moments before!

Paul Swallow @hirundorustica.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

Oliver Cat likes his new scratching post (it came in the shape of an Ikea sofa with a cover) but I think he suspects something. I'm hoping that Emka, a rescue dog from North Macedonia, likes her bed (in the shape of an Ikea sofa with a cover) when she arrives on the 30th.

Catnip at 5am? What could go wrong? Oliver Cat's eyes are like saucers...

Paul Swallow @hirundorustica.bsky.social · 26/10/2024

I have just bought four cushions! No one told me that there comes a point in life where one becomes excited by soft furnishings but I guess I'll embrace it...

Oliver Cat (OC) is on the 'naughty step' (again)...

A tuxedo cat sits upright at the bottom of narrow white wooden stairs.
The cat is facing the camera and displaying an almost perfect tuxedo.
To the right is a brick fireplace, to the left is a metal set of drawers with a group of JPG bottles on the top.

Now I live with the bloody thing...

Years ago, I bought a print in Crystal Palace...

Paul Swallow @hirundorustica.bsky.social · 27/09/2024

FB tells me that it's been five years since I turned OC (Oliver Cat) to drink...

Paul Swallow @hirundorustica.bsky.social · 26/09/2024

Not sure if I love or hate OC (Oliver Cat) but he has his moments...

Paul Swallow @hirundorustica.bsky.social · 05/09/2024

Today is my birthday. Should I be asking for pussy pics or something (to make Oliver Cat jealous)? Richard pics? x

Paul Swallow @hirundorustica.bsky.social · 01/09/2024

Cat has made me smile today... best catnip ever!

Paul Swallow @hirundorustica.bsky.social · 23/08/2024

I have a washing machine! It sings and is very sexy, unlike the man who delivered it...

Paul Swallow @hirundorustica.bsky.social · 17/08/2024

I have been 'venting' in the other place but Oliver Cat is wearing his grumpy face so I've come here for a breather... until he goes for a nap.

Close up of a tuxedo cat looking grumpy. A saving grace is that he is sporting a fine set of whiskers.

I find that a lot of people on Twitter post stuff to make people react in anger or disgust. I avoid that kind of bait. I post stuff, more often as a reply, to make people smile (when I'm not being serious) and if I get a 'like' from an account I admire, I smile too. I'll carry on here, if that's ok.

I think that I am following everyone here who I followed over in the other place... that box is now officially unpacked. The accounts in the box labelled 'Pandora' remains unopened.

Paul Swallow @hirundorustica.bsky.social · 15/08/2024

I moved here ages ago but haven't unpacked yet!

Just watched 'Weekend'. I was told to watch it ages ago but stuff got in the way. It's a fine film.

My best friend died on 26th October. We spoke every day. My mother died last week. I miss James T very much.

Yesterday, I grabbed some potato pieces (from the freezer) and roasted them in the air-fryer. I can confirm that pear chunks with butter, salt and mustard mayo are not at all pleasant!
