Floofster looking a bit 'morning after the night before'! 🦉💙

"You have tampered in the Gods' domain!" the god shouted. "Well, maybe, but you gods tamper in the human domain all the time!" "That's... That's different!" "How?" "We are Gods! It's what we do!" "And we are human. Likewise." "I..." The god sighed. "Fair. But keep it quiet, okay?"

Tough luck if you were hoping for a lie in this Saturday morning: the guys emptying the garden waste bins have just been around - at 5.45am, with *loud* conversation to go with their noisy truck!

There are several original ink drawings available in my online shop. Take a look and see if you’d like to live with one. claireleach.com/shop

I dunno. I think it smells more like rain than teen spirit...

Love a Swallow! 💚💙

I really don't feel like eating this evening...

Hi #BookSky 💙📚 I've finished reading Skylarks with Rosie: A Somerset Spring by Stephen Moss

Fuck me, it's red hot out there! (I stuck my head out of the window to check who was making a lot of noise - took 30 seconds, but that was long enough to feel like I'd stuck my head into an oven!)

Well,the eviction notice came. I have to be out by lunchtime July 20th.

Jesus Christ! I've been waiting since Feb for an MRI on my left knee to see whether I damaged it when I faceplanted Jan 2025 (and tore open my elbow) because I've been having sharp stabbing pains below my kneecap. Had a text message from the private company who now do MSK stuff in Oxford to book

*snorts*

Beautiful floofster! 🦉💙

Words by Emily Dickinson. I'll tell you how the sun rose. A ribbon at a time. With a sleepy Appaloosa. The horse of my dreams.

Brits! I've just signed Foxglove's petition to Andy Burnham: if you become our next PM, get Palantir out of our NHS. A secretive US spy tech firm with deep Trump ties has no business holding our health data. Add your name:

First birds of my day all came in trios: two Magpie in the neighbour's Silver Birch tree, while the third was on the garden wall below them; the trio of Rook lifting from the Rookery up the street; the trio of Carrion Crow perching on the church roof down the street. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #UKBirding

Little Bighorns! 🐑😍

Gave in to the very strong urge to pour icy cold water over my head and I feel slightly *less* like my head's going to explode from the heat!

What a beauty! And a fab photo! 💙💙 I spent 5 minutes yesterday watching a Swallow repeatedly circling in the air above my head and made myself giddy turning round and round to keep it in view until it flew out of sight!

Who will I be today? 🐱🐭🦊🐰 #kidlitart

Useless bloody Job Centre! Last week I got a message saying that they'd rearranged tomorrow's appointment to a time that clashes with another video call appointment tomorrow. I notified them immediately, but got no response. I've just had a reminder of the appointment tomorrow, which still clashes!

Commiserations! First birds of my day: a pair of Magpie in the neighbour's Silver Birch tree again, a trio of Rook flying East into the semi-dark, and a pair of Carrion Crow perching atop a chimney bobbing and calling. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #UKBirding

Hi #BookSky 💙📚 I've finished reading The Easternmost House by Juliet Blaxland

You can count on Thomas to always hold the line, but not to understand what he is holding it for.

Mine! Mine!! 🦉💙

First birds of my day: a pair of Magpie chuckling as they investigated the neighbour's Silver Birch tree for tasty treats, while a trio of Rook lifted from their Rookery into the dawn sky, and a lone Goldfinch twittered wildly from the TV aerial opposite. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #UKBirding
