You know when you get your head stuck in a jumper and you think you might die and then instantly illogically worry what would go on the death certificate? Watching Trump as President feels just like that.

What’s wrong baby, you haven’t used your splayed-legged faceless teddy bear bedside lamp?

A pair of blue lamps shaped like teddy bears with shades where the face should be but the shades have ears.

Metaphorical blues and twos to the vet first thing this morning. Poor Letty has a severe UTI. It's bloody scary how fast they come on. She was the *best* girl at the vets - with a new vet and all! Happily she came home full of pain relief and antibiotics and she is now flat out asleep on her sofa.

It is the first of September and our Sedum (Autumn Joy) has displayed it's self- awareness by darkening from pale pink to deep pink literally overnight.

Is there an award for picture editors? Because the Guardian is doing great work lately and, imo, it should be rewarded.

Pardon my mis-spelling of Burnham. There is actually a reason for this. I find him kind of irritating for reasons I can't explain. So I've decided that he's actually got a second career in a partnership of funeral directors: Burnum and Urnum. They are based in Urmston.

Burnum failing to catch the clue in the term "United Ireland" and then dropping the whole concept butter side down "...since the Brexit referendum, I think we’ve had too much division, too much arguing, too much, backward looking. We need to fix the things right in front of us in the here and now."

The best way to honor the two who have left us recently, imo, is to keep being as gay as possible

Hey, Grim Reaper, that's ALSO the wrong goddamned 80 year old. God *almighty* :( Rest in peace, Tim Curry 19th April 1946 – 25th August 2026. What a legend.

Just thinking more of Dolly. I have no idea what happens when we die but I think perhaps we do rise, and are everywhere. If that's true, then there's a chance there is a Dolly Particle still doing good, somewhere. music.youtube.com/watch?v=RvwM...

This is the first year we've had mosquitoes in the house (we've the kitchen door open most of the day at the moment). No idea where they're all coming from. I've been bitten a lot - which is also odd because I slept on a veranda in the wilds of the Blue Mountains in Australia and was unbitten.

Uhhhh, something's gone funny with the sun. Hulllllllllooo? I said SOMETHING'S GONE FUNNY WITH THE SUN

The strange light of 93% totality.

Noticeable drop in temperature now.

Over the last 56 years I've had many reasons to be glad to live in the town with the east of Ireland's only West-facing harbour. Today, I am especially happy. Our viewing place is some comfortably shaped rocks #eclipse

Happy sweet 16 to our Glinda. Last night I caught her on the table where she was attempting to bat my sunglasses off the table. But it had gone midnight and there is no telling - offs on birthdays.

So, I briefly popped out to the garden to take the morning air and the truth was out there.

1/2 It's been an uphill struggle keeping non drought - tolerant plants alive this summer. I managed it, but they all look a bit knackered now. I used to dislike this part of the year in the garden, a lot of stuff "going over" simultaneously. Having planted for a winter garden 2 years ago...

Huge increase in butterfly and moths this year, happily. It's hard to say if that's a general increase or things we've done differently in our garden this year. We've 2 types of Hawthorn now and I left a small thistle patch. There was a lovely magpie moth on the kitchen floor last night.

There was a lovely peacock butterfly hanging out on the kitchen ceiling just now. Liz guided it back into the garden.
