Flower head of a plant with thin pink-purple strands that look a bit like a thistle, except there seem to be tiny flowers on the end of each strand.
Went out for a walk and found many orchids, also this beautifully odd flower ...
So, turns out the president of Portugal popped into Tomar's rock club night yesterday evening, my friend has a selfie with him. I knew he was staying at the hotel over the road cos the intense security gave it away. Even so ...
A very stocky Exmoor Horn ram.
Happy 8th anniversary to the tweet that changed us forever. Look at this absolute unit.
Yes! It really does doesn't it? Kept freaking me out a little.
No, they're chocolate (with some fruit, nuts in the fillings etc)
Box of 12 colourful, shiny, glazed chocolates in various shapes like a croissant, a pear, a peanut.
Bought some fancy chocolates for Easter, they are so pretty. Note: the box is now almost empty.
The Trektellen app shows some #Swifts passing through the Medoc region, just above Bordeaux, and rather a lot above Corsica. The first Swift was seen in #Lewes on 14th April last year - not long to wait before we are scanning the skies.
Seconded. Really could do without!
Think binning the zip up bra is the way to go.
Also, almost spit out my tea! In fits of giggles now 🤣
Cor that was a while ago !

Nice to see you two gorgeous ladies in my timeline :)
Also, in more Friday morning loveliness, bloody excellent re: Hannah Spencer elected in Gorton and Denton. Excellent work by the Green Party and all who support them 😍
Said Bom dia! to one of my Portuguese neighbours (vizhinhos) this morning and he called a cheery good morning, then proceeded to tell me I am very kind and Portugal needs more people like me to come and live here. He said this in both Portuguese and English, bless him. Put a smile on my face :)
I now really want to read Gloria Don't Speak. Thoughtful and fascinating interview.
Hey Hannah - not sure if you're up to much today?
I love seeing the blossom appear!
I just discovered there's such a thing as Bird Observatories, which research & ring local beds in an area, this makes me happy.
The logs tend to read a bit like a Shipping News for birds. I love this. www.fbog.org.uk/january-sigh...
A latte with milk foam on top and a coffee heart drawn on the top.
Yesterday's coffee at my local - Lourenço hovered ever so slightly as he set it down, otherwise I may have missed it!

This is how I start a Friday night - mint tea! (While J has a G & T)
That is a very sane reaction.
It's rainy, rainy, rainy here. And grey skies dominate my 5th floor window. Bleurgh. But every now and then I hear a snippet of blackbird song - it pierces my awareness and brings me joy.
