Good gods, the Crows are very shouty this morning!! 😮🤨 #UKBirding

Every morning, the queen asked her magic mirror to show her the most beautiful person in the world. The mirror replied "To whom?" "The miller who made the flour for my bread," the queen would say, or "Whoever spun the thread my shawl was made of". The mirror would show her, and she'd be amazed.

Oh good, the sodding wind's picked up again! *sighs*

Phone call from the council just before lunch, following up on my Section 8 notice - someone else should ring later in the week to talk me through the next steps. When the phone rang, I hoped it was the gynae consultant re my histology results 'cos I had confirmation they're back. Alas, it was not.

Today’s moment of calm Just think, in April, which isn’t far off now, all over the islands that are off the coast of Pembrokeshire, puffins will return to have their babies in their burrows. Thousands of them coming from far & wide to grace us with their charm and beauty. Life goes on regardless

Floofsters considering whether or not to leave their cave... 🦉💙

Roger had a very productive weekend.

Hi #BookSky 💙📚 I've started reading Doctor Who: 1001 Nights in Time and Space: Folk Tales rescued from around the Whoniverse by Steve Cole Feels like a swiz: I've read 2 stories and both are simplified versions of Classic Who TV eps told from the PoV of not-the-Doctor characters - nothing new here

Emailed the hospital complaints team to remind them I'm still waiting for a formal response to my complaint about waiting 4 months for the results of last Sept's MRI scan. And emailed the Gynae team to ask if the results of the biopsies taken 2 weeks ago are back yet. FFS! I don't need this stress!

Apparently, I'm Ismene!

Sure Jan.

What a beautiful shot of a beautiful floofster!🦉💙😍

Re the Section 8 notice of possession I received yesterday - the law firm I'd been recommended won't help until I get a court order, then they can potentially represent me in court. I hate these people. I tried to get their help last year when the landlord was refusing to give me a Section 21 1/2

Asshole landlord's finally got off his arse and done something about making me leave - just received a hand-delivered Section 8 (rent arrears) notice. Have to be out by March 30. He claims I'm in arrears 'cos he got a selective licence, not a HMO & I should pay rent on the whole house not my room.
