A little bit of retail therapy today. Herbie waited in the car with his Daddy & they both got a nice pastry for being very good boys.

Has remembered that the lift isn't working, so unless one of us wants to carry him up, Herbie plans to plant his paws & stay right here, thanks. #greyhounds

Back at the flat last night. Beautiful morning on the river for Herbie's breakfast walk. Park cafe wasn't open so no bacon rolls for us ☹️. And we have 2 new neighbours in the basin. #greyhounds

Enough sycophancy European leaders. Get it through your heads - the Trump government is not your friend. There are no deals to be done unless they benefit Trump.

Mum & Dad swan with 9 juveniles landed on the lake this morning. Sounded like an express train on water, with added flapping. They've done really well to get 9 to this stage. Terrible picture, sorry.

This seems like a good exploration of Israeli govt actions over the decades, expressed in a far more articulate manner than I could manage. So many people in Israel opposing this genocide, but it gets little coverage. And Bibi wants to stay out of jail.

Good morning Katy @katyshep.bsky.social ! (Or anyone else in the greyhound group really...) Do you have any idea what happened to our friend AJ Archibald? Had greyhound/s, wrote a modern day urban vampire book? I was thinking about them the other day but their account has vanished.

Door 1 (of 3) hung. Still to be stained & waxed. A door knob would be handy. But it hasn't fallen back of it's hinges and it opens & closes. Hurrah for Dave, I helped a 🤏 bit.

A detail missing from The Times story… the woman who took the photo shared it to a Facebook group called ‘South east patriots’.

Right wing protests in Dover, Saturday 5 Sept 2026. Protesters wearing black clothing & balaclavas. Young woman protesting at the Reform Conference, Birmingham, UK. Saturday 5 Sept 2026. Surrounded by Reform supporters of pension age. Hair pulling, walking stick wielded, face clawed. A security guard is attempting to extracate her.

This scandal also reflects very badly on JL Partners -- who are supposed to be British Polling Council members -- but who ran a poll for Reform paid for by a third party, then did not reveal who their client was.

Took Herbie up to the big woods today. First time since the fire last week. He took his Smokey Bear duties very seriously, keen to get out of the car & have a good check round. Fire seems to have been small & well contained, but still sad to see the damage. #greyhounds

Rod Liddle played the politics of hatred - we should be honest about his legacy
Tributes praised a 'great journalist', but very few touched on the fact that he was also a racist, a bigot and an Islamophobe
