I will never understand online mapping. The woman in Google Maps has been sulking, not talking on either phone. So we’ve been using Apple Maps as the man in it talked. But today he’s not talking on my phone, but he is talking on M’s🤷🏼‍♀️

Years ago, house with on street parking, I could parallel park in seconds. We moved and I lost that skill, but instead I can now reverse at speed back to passing places on Devon lanes.

They’ve definitely got smaller. 5 years ago we had quite a bulky Bluetooth, as we lived in a town, one on kitten, and it was how we found his body. Now we’re rural I’ve got a petTracer, GPS & radio, one on grey cat. It is lightweight and works well.

We drove, well OH drove and I navigated, for five hours this morning and are now in Galicia. From the little I have seen so far it looks beautiful, and quiet. Will go for a walk to explore when it cools down a bit more.

So sorry Annie. It’s a heartbreaking time. I like to think we’ll meet them again one day somehow.

Up and up isn’t it🙄, I read JCVI recommendation is it should be raised to age 80 next year.

V@l D@vies @valtinkum.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

That’s a thoughtful gift. It’s such a difficult time. Sending a hug x

All good😊, slowly day by day now, sending love xx

So very sorry it came to that PV😏 their offer has to be ’reasonable’ and to me it doesn’t sound as if it is. I hope you can get it all sorted. Really unsettling time.

🇪🇸 first night of our autumn travelling. In an aire near(ish) to Bilbao. Stream of locals dressed up to the nines wandering past & walking up hill behind us. OH has gone to see what’s what up there.

Grey cat here had 6 teeth out recently including all canines. We still have a steady supply of headless shrews.

Awful service isn’t it. RM is going to hell in a handcart here too.

We moved house recently, not far at all. In the process we lost access to our detailed coded medical records in NHS app as our surgery deregistered us as in area and reregistered us as out of area. So, if you have that access and want to keep its info, you may want to take a copy of it just in case.

Neighbour is moving today after 31 years in his house. Such a big day for him. Huge lorry. I’ve caught grey cat and locked her in here safe as she’s so inquisitive.

I hate being piggy in the middle. Between, how to phrase it politely, 2 not very helpful individuals each working for an organisation that is blaming the other one. Meh.

V@l D@vies @valtinkum.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Well. Car failed🙄 MOT on damaged shock absorbers - apparently a common reason because of all the potholes. Anyway. Shock absorbers repaired and car then passed😊

I am fed up cleaning up shrew innards after daughter’s cat. Have just told her (daughter not cat) where latest lot is and apparently she’ll do it later. Yeah, right.
