I use a pivotel dispenser, it is programmable has an alarm and a light that goes off when you need to take your meds and the alarm only stops when you tip them out... Excellent invention, but a bit spendy.

New lock on my grandmother's 1920 Singer, a dining chair with a broken stay and I left my extendable loppers with Chris! Will pick them up in a couple of weeks.

I had no idea that the fictionalised life of Laura Bush could be so utterly compelling. Great read! #books #amreading #booksky But #whatsnext? Recommendations anyone? Literary fiction, eclectic, thought provoking...

I wasn't feeling great today. Migraine, PEM, balance, boring stuff. Picked up Elena Ferrante, The Story of A New Name, and haven't put it down all day. Fantastic #book. Indulgent to just #read and read and keep #reading...

Time to read this. But what I really want to know is if there anything that can be done to counter and dissipate the momentum of epidemics.

I counted five hedgehogs in my garden this evening. Two tiny ones. Word must be out that there is food here. Haven't got a group photo as they seem to be independently minded. Leave food and water out, you might be saving a few little hoggy lives as the ground is so hard the cant get worms.

Jenny (Kowalczuk) Sanders @jennysanders.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

I'm trying to keep things less than bone dry here, putting the sprinkler on for an hour in the evening, and feeding the hedgehogs cat food, because there are no grubs or insects for them to eat.

Life at #Snodhill This is the hedgehog. He looks healthy but he shouldn't really be out and about so early. He joins the humpback rat (also out in the day)and the one legged pheasant as some of the wildlife that seem to depend on me at the moment. To be honest I could do without a humpbacked rat.

Look!!! The moon, the moon! Have you ever seen such beauty? This was last night, approaching Snodhill and home after a long drive.

The moon, almost full in a clear blue sky that darkens towards the horizon, with a streak of pink as a thin cloud reflects the last rays of sun as it dips down behind the camera.

Feeling pretty low and then the pheasant who has been scrounging here for a good 3 years turns up limping with a mangled foot. I feel surrounded by loss. Is nothing constant? 😭 This is him a couple of summers past:

Yesterday, if you remember was the plant sale in the village hall, and I was out of the house for all of an hour. Came back with all manner of lovely things now sitting in their pots waiting to be replanted. Today? Body says, No!

I made it to the village hall plant sale! So good to get out of the house. Came back with runners, courgettes tomatoes and herbs all ready to plant up in pots and a haul of lovely houseplants including this sweet oxalis, tell me how to look after her if you know, I am not the best houseplant mother!

Oooh! Is it #raceacrosstheworld tonight on the beeb? Well ok then, I will turn the TV on. I was just enjoying the bonkers loud birdsong here, it is massive this eve. No cuckoos or woodpeckers yet but I am still hopeful 🤞🏼

I shouldn't worry really, my house is surrounded by fields and meadows and hedgerows and brooks... I probably live in a ecologically rich place - apart from the damage being done to the River Wye from the chicken shed waste which is over the ridge in the next valley over.

I know a hen isn't like a dog, or a cat, you don't get cuddles or loyalty or obedience, you do get quirkiness, side eyes and idiosyncrasies that come from a tiny brain hard wired as a dinosaur. But I am going to miss my last remaining hen. She has always been a beauty And now she is off to the vet 🔪

Did someone say #caturday? This is Spare Cat. He turned up, moved in, got comfy, put on weight and then sadly faded away over a year and I lost him.

Oooh that looks beautiful, very berryish! I have just started a project using linen stitch crochet in a red kettle dyed Uruguay merino. It's creating a beautiful flat, thick fabric that has drape and is easy peasy and grows fast
