Genius headline. Almost as good as the one in NME (I think) when Husker Du split up - headed 'Husker Don't'

Jane Jennison @janejennison.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Being grateful is a key way to boost wellbeing. It's also pretty good for the people you say 'thank you' to, in this case, me! We have been members of #SuffolkWildlifeTrust for a decade and they sent us this lovely card and enamel pin. A small token of appreciation, much appreciated, thank you!

A photo of a postcard. The illustration is black and white. It looks like a lino-print. The image is of a partially curled (or partially uncurled?) hedgehog, its face and paws visible from an oval of spines. Next to it is an enamel pin badge, circular, with an image of a badger's face in the centre. In gold writing on a white background around the edge, it says 'longstanding member and Suffolk Wildlife Trust.
They are on a table cloth that is sage green with cream dots in a repeating pattern.

Lovely Post Box Topper spotted in sunny Bedford this week, on my flying visit (I did not fly) to the dentist. #PostBoxTopper #PostBox #PostBoxSaturday #Bedford #LestWeForget

A knitted and crochetted post box topper. There is a central pillar - a war memorial? - in a neutral colour, and around it are service personnel, On the left, an RAF officer, saluting, in blue, and next to him is a wren, in khaki, also saluting.

A crocheted post box topper. There is a base in several shades of green, on top of which is a little bed with a crocheted blanket in stripes of blue, white and purple. There are three grey teddy bears (babies) tucked up in bed, and two standing at the foot of the bed. The one on the left is in a blue outfit, and the one on the right is in pink. There is a larger figure - parent or carer perhaps - on the left of the topper, and some crocheted toys surrounding,. Over the bed is a smiling yellow sun.

It's been a while since I posted about what I am reading, so here are 4 for the price of 1! The wonderful Louis De Berniers with a magical realism set in the future - a wonderful departure - & a trilogy about a family through t last century. All highly recommended. #Books #Reading #LouisDeBerniers

Photo of a book shelf with a close-up of 4 books by Louid De Berniers, a view of their spines. In yellow, Light Over Lisgard, then a triology. First, in blue, The Autumn of the Ace, second, in dark brown, So Much Left Over, and lastly in a shade of umber, The Dust That Falls from Dreams. The author's name is in white, in a cursive script, and the titles are in capital letters in a font that is different each time, but are pleasing together. They have the feel or Art Deco movie posters.

I didn’t sleep very well last night. One of the many dreams was about making stop-motion animation of the (toy) mice in my dollhouse. Even while dreaming, I knew this was a rubbish idea. #stupiddream #dollhouse #animation

Photo of the window of a dollhouse. It is a bay window, with white woodwork. In front are three tiny orange pumpkins, and on the roof of the window is a white ceramic ghost and a white ceramic rabbit.

Photo of a dollhouse bedroom. There is a double bed, with a toy mouse sitting on it, and another one standing by it. Also in the room is a floor standing mirror, a chest of drawers with a lamp on, and a blanket box with lace-making equipment on it. In the front is a crib with a toy doll, a toy train set, and wash basin and a goes-under.

I love this! Paulona, or the foxglove tree, in flower in our garden. It's rather tall, so the photo was taken looking up. Like many trees, the flowers arrive before the foliage - this is the perfect point where both are looking lovely. #SuffolkGarden #Tree #Paulonia #FoxgloveTree #Suffolk

The act of sending loved ones little videos and memes and things throughout the day is called “pebbling” because penguins often leave little rocks in the nests of those they care about as a sign of affection. Today is world penguin day, so if someone sends you this post, know you’ve been pebbled ;)
