I don't know them.

Photo of me and my border collie near a river.

Been for a walk at the lake. A kind lady took our photo for me as I can't do selfies!

Never any guarantee of what you will find at Emmaus.

But that's the thing with Emmaus. You never know what you will find there - or not!!

Hooray! The walking trousers I bought yesterday fit perfectly and are very comfortable. I shall road test them this afternoon when Rosie and I go for a picnic at the lake.

<sigh> I don't want to be friends on Insta or anywhere else with women who want to flash their norks at me. Sorry, but no.

So far I see one at least every year. Used to be the same for the hoopoe but none last year. The rain is a big problem for birds who nest in burrows 😞

If you're bored rigid by my camping and bird-spotting posts, then you're definitely following the wrong person. I love my Mother Nature more than anyone - except Rosie, of course!

One comes and sits just outside my garden and sings to me! I call him Pierrot, because that's a bit the sound of his call!

Hooray! Good old Merlin app! I thought I heard an old favourite favourite returning but got him to check. Yes, first Golden Oriole is back!!

Not going away camping for a while for 2reasons. Fuel costs, and it's starting to get a bit peoply out there! Instead I'm putting up the big tent, Bilbo, in the garden. . Forecast is glorious for at least 10 days, and it's a good tent in bad weather anyway. What larks, Pip!!

Physio is very pleased with my progress - me too - so I have an exeat! Call her if/when I feel the need.

Oh that sounds fun! Maybe one day I might get to see her live somewhere.

Oh I would love to see her, but I fear deepest darkest Auvergne might be too weird, and like a good wine, I don't travel!

Just dug this out. Never fails to amuse. She is so clever and so funny! www.google.com/search?q=edd...

And even though he is on record saying it he lies and denies what we all know he said!

WTF is wrong with Bluesky at the moment??

And now saying everything is forbidden then going, 'Oh go on then, as it's you!'

Pah, that's nuppin 🤣

Is Bluesky drunk?? Telling me I have 30 Notifications but won't show me any of them!!

Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono names the people who have been pardoned by Donald Trump after they have donated to support his campaign and PACs in the Senate hearing on fraud.

Peek-a-boo!

Aah, that's the life! Sitting in the warm sunshine, listening to birdsong and drinking froffee coffee made on Rodney the Rocket Stove, fuelled entirely by windfall twigs!

She hasn't an aggressive bone in her body, bless her. Just produces her fiercest woof and hopes/knows I will protect her!

She really is timid, bless her. Very bad start in life 😞

Doubt that very much!! Rosie will be the barometer though. If she says you're ok, you can come in!

I'm late replying because I was out shopping, not because I was changing all the locks to avoid invasion!!! Do please come and see my humble little empire.

Speaking of names, my very good little camer is called a Bofypoo!! I kid you not!

Oh please do, you would be made very welcome here, and I know scaredy Rosie would love you because you would give her the time and space she needs.
