Yeah, Wülferhampton is a rather special place, just don't tell anyone here I said that 😉 Hope things start looking up for you soon, in the meantime, Amber says everything is going to be alright

On a slightly less serious note and offered without comment...

Picture of an earlier post I'd done:
Just refreshed my TL and was hit in the face with a penis query
Followed by the nextpost in my notifications which was completely unrelated:
Deep questions only you can answer

Might just be me being vulgar minded though

Night Robin, sleep well* *typing / arthritic fingers &/or (i.e. mainly auto-corrupt) nearly made that "slew well". This must be a reference to the age old polite question "Went the slew well?" to which the answer is always "yes" even if you slew no-one or only slew them badly...

Amber, giving it some serious ear shadow...

Head and neck shot of a lion and white coloured lurcher lying on the floor. Her glorious Anubis style ears cast a shadow.
Extract from Poe's The Raven:
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor,
Shall be lifted - Nevermore.
Little known fact*
The poem was originally called The Lurcher but Poe couldn't find one that could sit on his bust of Pallas without falling off.

How your reply appeared in my TL gave it a very different and slightly disturbing meaning 😅

Two unrelated posts appearing in my TL as if they're the same conversation. The first is about shitting like there's no tomorrow (and possibly pebble dashing the toilet bowl) and the reply is about a horse (not what the inside of the bowl looks like)

Is that in all senses of the word...

3 definitions of the word "Brownie" from Miriam-Webster

2 : a member of a program of the Girl Scouts for girls typically in the second and third grades in school
3 : a small square or rectangle of rich usually chocolate cake often containing nuts

Will it be washed down with burnt wine...

To 16 bottles of port and 16 bottles of claret, add 4 ounces of cinnamon, 1/2 ounce of cloves and 5lb of sugae. Break the spice and let it simmer in 3 quarts of soft water, 'till reduced to half.

Can't wait to dive into my new book haul, just need to decide where to start (and who gets the extra copy of Ring the Hill)! Hope you're able to get back to your writing @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social and that we've all helped clear a bit of space in your house.

Really need to start / continue the #DailyDogWalk posts I meant to do! This morning, saw 5 or 6 curlews in a field next to a building site & then a male stonechat singing his little heart out on the way home. In the afternoon, heard first skylarks of the year & saw a buzzard in a tree by the path.

I'd forgotten this thread from the old place, laughed as much the second time round 😀 This is Amber hunting voles (?) in a turnip field. Took at least half an hour to get her back. Farmer went by at least 3 times, which was not in any way, shape or form, embarrassing...
