“Frog,” said Toad, “if I dust my chairs and scrub my windows and water my plants right now, then I will not have to do it tomorrow, will I?” “No,” said Frog. “You will not have to do any of it.”

Lots of love from me and Steve!

The Hero's Journey Reimagined Where the Hero Stays Home and Does Some Much Needed Maintenance Instead of Journeying.

“Frog,” cried Toad, “can you do tricks like this?” “No,” peeped Frog, who looked very, very small.

Took a day trip to Helsinki and was captivated by the peace and liability of the city. While it may be northern and cold, it is car-light and has wonderful history, architecture, transit, and places to spend time and socialize including saunas.

So heartwarming 😉😉 Forgive the world for a minute

Happy #FuriousFiction Friday! This weekend’s creative assignment will drop in about 8 hours. Are YOU ready to take the plunge??

I asked Santa for bell-bottoms so I could be anti-cool. Nomadic or regular? he asked me. As I chase my pants all over Australia I regularly question my choice. #oxj bell-bottoms / nomadic

A social distancer is found with a crushed skull from an empty coke bottle dropped from a light plane. Suspicion falls on Midsomer Wyvern’s Shangri La club owners, deeply concerned that efforts to curb industrial pollution in the town might threaten too many broken hearts in the world.

My daughter has Down Syndrome and the NDIS has been gutted, and you fully support the cuts. So, basically f*ck you and the entitled horse you rode in on

A dog failed his service dog exam and was later seen at the train station on his way home with the reason why. 🤗

“But Frog,” said Toad, “if I pick up my pants and jacket right now, then I will not have to pick them up tomorrow, will I?” “No,” said Frog, “You will not have to.” Toad picked up his clothes. He put them in the closet.

Badgers run like old neglected footstools who have suddenly discovered their own sentience.

Herons always seem to fly like they have just been sent on a top secret mission to a magic parallel dimension where all language is whispered.

All pheasants run like they're frantically saying "Shit-shit-shit-shit" to themselves.

gobbledygook – a mish mash, a motley mix of words passed through bedlam – sieved finely – what fiasco is this? – a mango for a horse? should we just peel and eat and forget the woes forget the lives that never get to live under the tyranny of words? #inkmine

After moving to the swamp, she became adept at wielding a swat at the animalcules who invaded at dusk. Mosquitoes! Thwack. It felt good to fight back, even as she scratched her itches. #oxj wield /animalcule

Old fisherman (shouting through the mist from his boat): “Are you ok, m’lad?” Me (on my back in the ocean, six miles from shore): “Yes, thank you, good sir. Absolutely fine. I just wanted to come to a place where nobody could add me to another WhatsApp group.”

ive got the best ever studio dog in full mr baby mode with me tonight so im sure he’ll be a good luck charm 🙏🏼

To be honest he is a bit of a nodcock, a noddy if you must, and is thus a burden upon my soul. But if you wait for the visions to abate and his soul to reknit, he’ll make a topnotch political aide. #oxj abate/noddy

Spot on as always @fionakatauskas.bsky.social

Giving minimum wage earners (about 100,000 people) a 6% wage increase to match inflation, and the 3m or so workers who have awards tied to it a 4.75% is not going to cause a wage price spiral. It means they can buy what they are already buying. Like bread AND milk and maybe some biscuits and fuel
