Lily looking demure this afternoon #CatsOfBlueSky #catsofbluesky #BlackCat #Catlovers #Catsky #Cats

When George Monbiot speaks/writes, we should ALL listen. Peaceful protest is a must in a democracy, this #Labour government should be ashamed for what it used to stand for.

More amazing street art from the visit to Tottington yesterday. This is depicting a scene from the public park there. The #NHS nurse pushing the wheelchair is fantastic. We MUST keep #Farage nowhere near our government, he would sell off the NHS in a heartbeat. #Art #StreetArt #Painting

I came across this fabulous street art today in a park in the town of Tottington near where I live. It depicts a tram which ran here in the late 19th century. #StreetArt #History #Lancashire #Tottington #Artist #Trams

Some warm sunny weather here AT LAST today so got the summer furniture out in the garden. I nipped back inside for a book and look who has claimed my chair 🐈‍⬛🐾 #catsofbluesky #Catsofbluesky #Catlovers #cats #Blackcats

Yep! #Trump #Scum #Scumbag #WarCriminal #Obscene #Fat #Ugly #Bastard

"Ok Chef Chris, what are you preparing for my #Sunday lunch today?". Lily's patience is running out. #CatsOfBlueSky #BlackCat #CatLovers #BlueskyCats #Cats

YEP! #AbolishTheMonarchy #Republic #RoyalFamily #Scroungers

The British Royal Family and their undeserved obscene wealth make me feel physically sick. #AbolishTheMonarchy #abolishthemonarchy #Republic

Here she is on #Caturday. Have a good weekend all 👍🐈‍⬛🐾 #catsofbluesky #Blackcat #Catlovers #Catsky

Having a good old scratch on my walk today (the horse, not me!) #Blueskyhorses #Horsesofbluesky #Horse #BlackHorse #Equines

Sitting alone on the stone flags hungry and forlorn unsure of survival, day in day out cursing why they'd ever been born Hustle and bustle glides past them cloaks of invisibity shielding their conscience a few coins thrown their way living a life that makes no sense #Homeless #Poverty #Charity

"Hey Chris, I can see Noah, and lots of animals in a massive boat!" says Lily on another drenching day. #FurryFriday #Catsofbluesky #BlueskyCats #Cats #BlackCats #Catsky

Obvs I'm biased, but I never tire of appreciating the natural beauty of Lily. #Cats #Catlovers #Catsofbluesky #Blueskycats #BlackCats

Once again, Lily has been out in the incessant rain this morning and now trying to dry off #Wetcat #catsofbluesky #Catsky #Blueskycats #Blackcat #Rain #Weather

It's not all about #Cats with me, I love #Horses too. I took this lovely lady's pic in her field near the local stables close to home this afternoon. #Horsesofbluesky #Blueskyhorses #Equines #Horse

Lily in the dormer part of our dormer bungalow this morning. Officially, this is out of bounds for her, as if she gets into the loft (through a tiny door) its CHAOS. As we all know, #cats have NO rules. #Catsofbluesky #blueskycats #WhiskersWednesday

#Manchester has always had the reputation of being a rainy city, but the last few weeks have left me googling "How to build an Ark". Lily is watching it from the inside this morning. #catsofbluesky #BlueskyCats #BlackCat #Cats #Catlife #Catlovers

We have an exhausted Lily situation this evening 🐈‍⬛🐾😴😴😴😴😴 #Catlife #Cats #Catsofbluesky #BlackCats #Blueskycats

"Lily!! that is SO undignified!" #Cats #Cat #Catlife #Catlovers #Catsofbluesky #catsofbluesky #BlackCats

"Please Chris, I've got a ticket for the Cat Club show tonight. I promise I will be home for 5am" #Catlife #Catlovers #Catsofbluesky #BlackCats #Cats #Cat

Lily. #Blackcatsofbluesky #Blueskycats #Catsofbluesky #Blackcats #Catlovers #Cats

Lily so out of sorts this morning after choosing to be out ALL night in the pouring rain. A VERY wet moggy. #catsofbluesky #blackcats #catsky #Cats #Blueskycats

I wrote this today... Whether days are short or days are long our most difficult task is to admit we were wrong We're all prone to human error we can all make a mistake better to accept our own shortcomings than strive to be a genuine fake #Poetry #Poet #Poetic #Writing #Poets #Wisdom

This is what Sundays are for, says Lily 🐈‍⬛🐾😴😴😴😴😴😴 #Catsky #BlackCats #Cats #Catsofbluesky #Blueskycats

A simple shot of Lily this evening. Her #Caturday has been punctuated by an ongoing dispute with a taunting Magpie. #Catsofbluesky #Blueskycats #BlackCatsOfBlueSky #Catsky #Blackcat #Cats

Portugal back in the day. I ❤️ the country. #Portugal #Holiday #Vacation #Sun #Sand #Beaches

Letting a sleepy Lily lie. #Caturday #Catsofbluesky #BlackCats #Catsky #Cats

Lily's coat is something to behold 👀🐈‍⬛🐾❤️❤️ #catsofbluesky #CatsOfBlueSky #Blueskycats #FurryFriday #BlackCat #blackcats #Catlovers

We can see you Lily! #Cats #Cat #Blackcats #FurryFriday #Catsofbluesky

My sister and me at her 21st birthday party back in the day. Somehow, I was persuaded (lots of booze was involved) to don a bear costume (someone found it in a cloakroom!) to present her gifts at the end of the night. #Birthday #Party #1990s #Family #Brother #Sister #Siblings

My #Dad as a young man in the #1950s. It's his birthday today. He passed away in 2011. During WW2 as a young boy he was living in #Manchester when Germany were bombing the city to pieces. He NEVER wanted to talk about it though. He was a great Dad and I still miss him. #RIP

"Yes darling, I love you too" #Catlovers #Catlover #Catsofbluesky #BlackCat #Catsky #Blueskycats #Cat #Cats #Catlove

To all my US friends. #Farage is an ugly, toxic, hate-filled, dangerous, divisive, far right piece of filth (and that's on his better days) #Politics #PoliticsLive #Reform

Sleepy Lily this morning. #Catsofbluesky #blackcat #catsky #BlackCat #Cats #Blueskycats

Lily prowling yesterday #Catsofbluesky #BlackCat #Catsky #blackcat #blueskycats #Cats #cats

I don't usually post pics of my family on Bluesky, but this is my mother with one of my older siblings (I'm the second youngest of 8!) back in the #1960s She emigrated from rural #Ireland in the late #1950s to escape abject poverty. She is still with us! #Family #Mother #History #Feelgood

A chilled afternoon outdoors in Lilyland 🐈‍⬛❤️ #catsofbluesky #blueskycats #Blackcats #blackcats #catsky

2 weeks old foal with his mother at the local stables last weekend #Horse #Horses #Foal #Stable #Horsesofbluesky #Horsesofbluesky

One of Lily's favourite sleeping places, and passing neighbours love to see her too. #Catsofbluesky #Catsky #BlackCat #Blueskycats #Cats #cats #blackcats

Further to my last post, Lily finds this position perfectly acceptable to sleep in. 🐈‍⬛🐾😲 #Catsky #Cat #Cats #Blueskycats #Catsofbluesky

Somewhere in the distance, at the end of this oversized tail, there is a cat somewhere.... #caturday #blackcat #cats #catsofbluesky #Caturday

Lovely Lily has found some tenuous shade this afternoon #Caturday #Catsofbluesky #BlackCats #Catsky #Blueskycats

"Go on Lily, have a good stretch in this beautiful late May Saturday sunshine". #Caturday #catsofbluesky #blueskycats #Blackcat #Blackcats #Cats

Dreaming of her appearance in the Hollywood blockbuster... "Lily the flying supercat!" #catsofbluesky #blueskycats #catsky #Supercat #BlackCats

Lily says the life of a cat is SO tiring. #Cats #BlackCats #BlueskyCats #Catsofbluesky #Catsky

"Hey everyone, I've got a ginormous tail but no head, paws or legs" said Lily. #FurryFriday #Catsofbluesky #Cats #Cat #BlackCats

2nd pic of Lily today. She is wilting in the sun again (Manchester is the new California!) and this shows just how LONG her body is. 🐈‍⬛🐾 #Blackcat #catsofbluesky #catsky #blueskycats #cats

Lily presenting her black "shoes" today. #catsofbluesky #blueskycats #cats #cat #BlackCats #catsky

Here Lily is on a slightly cooler afternoon today. Still gorgeous though, don't you think? #catsofbluesky #WhiskersWednesday #Blueskycats #Blackcat
