Hurrah!

Oh no, still migraine? Sending gentle, healing hugs.

Have a hug, we’ll still be here when you get back.

So sad it’s no longer an Italian company.

This is why I haven't been on social media much!

I've been horrified by what we found about Natural England pausing designation to SSSIs - and the consequent loss of nationally important sites for nature to development:

We have (very) big news!

Say hello to Poppy 😊

Poppy is a sweet 8-year-old girl who enjoys being within an inch of at least one human at all times and dislikes closed doors. She has been with us since Friday and seems to be settling in well.

Don't know how the heck Indy got to be 15 but he did & he seems to want to take after his mom & grandmother. Any sales RN go towards getting him that creative writing course this summer. (More will help his mom finish the Old Fox book she's working on/we're all anxious to get.)

Old Fox

The little bird

The little bird

A blackbird, wet with rain, come to see Old Fox. She hops through the study window, pecks the apple cake brought for her. The gentle days of high spring are here at last & she needs to tell him of the new shape of her terroir, her pale blue patch of sky, her earth, her wattle nest in the ivy.

Hard to imagine.

And they don’t even do anything worthwhile with the money once they’ve got it. Imagine being as rich as Skum or Bezos and choosing NOT to help end famine, disease and poverty. They have black hearts.

Good morning. I just ended up swearing at Barclay’s AI assistant several times because I’m so sick of everything in life being made inaccessible and so much more shit due to AI. The enshittification of life is really getting me down. SO MUCH WASTED TIME AND ENERGY FOR SIMPLE TASKS. Fuck tech bros

With you 100%, had the same with HSBC last week, ended up calling them and getting the problem solved in five minutes with a charming and effective human. Took much longer for my blood pressure to return to normal…

I support this 100%. As a poor person, it is no-one's business how I choose to spend my £400 pm. If I buy a bottle of the cheapest wine in my local shop (£4.75), so what ? The same shop is part of a company which makes a fortune.

So sorry to hear this. All fingers and paws crossed for the lovely boy to pull through. ❤️

Gosh, this takes me back! We had a tree in the garden when I was a child and my mother swore by them as a cooker, disdaining Bramleys for their capacity to turn to mush.

These incredible Buff Tip Moths blend in so well with branches that you might mistake them for sticks. Nature's masters of disguise are truly fascinating!

Hello new week, 10 days to reach my April fundraising goal which helps toward the cost of my keep.

Yes, a couple of years ago. Found it very interesting and learned lots.

Who Funds Nigel Farage? Mapping His Millions Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is the highest-paid Member of Parliament. In less than two years as the MP for Clacton, Farage has racked up £2 million in personal income and gifts, on top of his £94,00...

With Farage making a shed load of money from bitcoin and an assortment of weird companies, we’ve launched a map and live tracker of his income 👇🏻👇🏻

I can believe that - I’d be lying awake fuming about them!

Nothing short of miraculous.

Love ‘em and may we also have some love for the endangered semi colon?

Has anyone heard from the lovely @carlabela1.bsky.social in the last few days? There’s been radio silence for eight days which is really not like Carla? Have Whatsapped her but message not got through.
