Love a good brew. Hate rudeness/hypocrisy, love animals, art, books, gardening/nature, science, genealogy, crafting, kindness, hugs, history, learning stuff. Funny & quirky make life more interesting. Slave to 5 cats. Don't get me started about dried fruit

An update, now I'm calmer. L & I built a community garden. Many residents helped & loved it. Just finished a re-vamp in her memory, & her daughter was travelling down this Friday to see it.

Just when you think someone can't sink any lower, be any more mean, petty, spiteful, hateful, vindictive or more disrespectful the living & dead, they outdo themselves. I hope I live long enough to see them get their comeuppance. My last shred of faith in humanity is gone. I'm DONE with people.

🎶There are heads to cleave Oh so many to grieve: What is this thing that they call peace I “should” take notice of? I’ll fight & feast forever, And drink & win forever Ooh - I will I’ve no time for serfs All must get in line Do as I tell them to at once Or it’s kaputski time🎶

🎶You know that it would be untrue You know that I would be a liar If I was to say to you OK, go play with fire C’mon baby light that pyre C’mon baby light it now Try not set the town on fire The time to hesitate is now Do not go adding gasolene If you do the barbecue Will never more be seen🎶

A fluffy black cat sits quietly on a grassy hill, seen from behind as it watches a golden sunrise spread across rolling blue-green hills beneath a purple and pink sky. Above the cat, the text reads: “Make peace with your past because your future deserves it.”

It's not far short of a year since L died, & her cats joined mine in a "blended" household. Esme & Eliza have just reached the stage where they can cautiously sniff each other, & then decide occasionally not to beat the c**p out of each other. I'm calling it a win.

Sad news, dear followers: my days as a reknowned concert pianist & international hand model are at an end.🤣 My surgeon advises that the only way I can continue my many other world-class pursuits (tending to the cats, drinking tea etc) is to have finger fusion. Woe is me (in 3-6 months from now) 🥹

A whimsical illustration of a small black cat with oversized white eyes sitting on a purple floor, gazing quietly at a closed beige door. The room has soft blue-green walls and a small potted plant in one corner, creating a calm, reflective atmosphere. Text reads: “Not every closed door is a bad thing. Sometimes it’s life protecting you from the wrong room.”

England v Argentina match. A Sri Lankan girl's 1st birthday party. Food. More clothing changes than at a fashion show (for the family photo album). Noise levels breaching pain thresholds. More food. Put them all together, & you'll understand why I am now going for a lie-down in a darkened room... 😩😫

The teenager next door is in the back garden, exploring her inner musicality. Again. Have donned ear defenders to cancel out the atrocious singing, but the poor guitar is in real need of urgent help. Does anyone know of an emergency counselling service?

I think I may be entering image refresh territory. Have just bought a pair of green Doc Martens boots, some palazzos, & am hankering after an equestrian dressage hat. No, I don't have a horse. Have no idea what these choices say about me, but it'll be interesting! 😵‍💫

A friend told me he had been clearing out his gran’s house. While he was there he found a knitted effigy of the man who had run off and abandoned my friend’s pregnant aunt. Into the effigy had been stuck twenty knitting needles: one for every year since the man had vanished.
A knitted poppet, impaled by many many knitting needles

Any ornithologists out there? I found a badly crushed egg in my garden (so pic not possible) I'd like to ID : small, at first glance bright white, but a closer look reveals teeny flecks of dark grey, like sparse powder scatter (way too small to count as speckles, blotches etc). It's SO beautiful!

Credit where it's due: my latest book-fix arrived today, but in paperback instead of hardback as expected. Within ONE MINUTE of my emailing, www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb had replied & organised a replacement. Didn't ask for proof, return etc. Really impressed. Lawks, I love books! 😍📚
