I try not to deal in envy, especially the when it concerns family, but despite my best intentions I can't help feeling a stab of it when I think about the card my cousin received from a confused workmate when her son, who is called Hal, was born, which read "Congratulations on the birth of Owl."

Frog and Toad stayed on the island all afternoon. They ate wet sandwiches without iced tea. They were two close friends sitting alone together.

Sketches for Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, 1905 by Beatrix Potter, who was also a natural scientist as well as a UK children's book author and illustrator. She observed and sketched real wild animals when creating her characters #womensart

Tiny criminal, photographed this morning. She jumped in the plant and promptly got digging zoomies.

What on earth has happened to the BOM site??? It's terrible!! It used to be so simple and now there is stuff everywhere and I can't find what I want. Change for change's sake.

BOM website has changed. It is terrible.

Also at my friend's dam - this pair of lovebirds 😀 Galahs. Male on the left, female on the right. You can tell by their eye colour. I wish all birds were so easy.

"In our endless discussions about education so little stress is laid on the pleasure of becoming an educated person, the enormous interest it adds to life. To be able to be caught up into the world of thought - that is to be educated." [Edith Hamilton]

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

There was Frog. “Hello, Toad,” he said. “I am very sorry to be late. I was wrapping your present.”

Car: "Depress clutch to start." Me to clutch: "The planet is being ruined by billionaire sociopaths, everyone's house is grey, the internet was a terrible mistake and I can't stop thinking about all the stuff I put in bins in the 1990s that I should have recycled. Also I think I've broken my toe."

Critical minerals

An Australian historian of the Scots is found dead inside a cheese vending machine. Suspicion falls on Midsomer Abbas’ chapter of the Ayn Rand society, confused that the fall of the Roman Empire might threaten to reveal that due to an off-by-one error, the meaning of life is actually 43.

baby bob has gone home and i think they might have trauma bonded? i’ve never seen them sit quite like this before lol

the year is 2030. the white house remains half demolished because president trump refused to pay construction workers and musk gutted government spending. two thieves sneak into the white house using a truck mounted ladder and steal the constitution

I am no more lonely than the loon on the pond that laughs so loud.

“My mother and father went to search for a path,” said Frog. “They told me to wait until they came back. I sat under a tree and waited. The woods became dark. I was afraid.”

Toad went out to his garden with some candles. “I will read the seeds a story,” said Toad. “Then they will not be afraid.”

An organist who’d pulled out all the stops is found slain in a baroque fashion. Suspicion falls on Martyr Warren’s microbiologist, worried that low vitamin D levels in vampires might threaten supplies of English breakfast tea.

took bob into the orchard and he got the zoomies from watching the turbo chooks

Before 2016, Drumpf never entered my thoughts. He was a non-entity. I knew of him, knew he was on a reality TV show (the kind of TV I loathe) yet, before 2016, I could care less about him or what he tweeted. I want that feeling back. I want to never hear of him ever again. I want him to disappear.

Fantastic review

baby bob is here for the weekend and some people are happier about it than others

jock’s face while he watches bob play with one of his favourite toys 😆

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

Love that wants only to get, to possess, is a monstrous thing.

Did you know that boobies don’t have nostrils? 😲 That helps them avoid swallowing water when they dive 🌊. They breathe through openings under the yellow plate, near the corner of the bill. Do you see?👀 🐡 #bird #seabird #Birdtober #Birdtober2025 #Inktober #WildlifeArt #ScientificIllustration

People selling groceries, fuel, medicine and other essentials should have to take cash. Lower income people often only use cash (and others by choice). And when online payments get hit by whatever outage, people still need a way to pay. It's peak stupidity to make cash irrelevant. #auspol

Distracted Poorlene meme #auspol Note for any non Australian followers - it’s not really worth trying to understand this. It’s niche shitposting

“You are not at the bottom of a hole?” asked Toad. “No,” said Frog. “You are not lost in the woods?” asked Toad. “No,” said Frog. “You are not being eaten by a big animal?” asked Toad. “No,” said Frog. “Not at all.”

I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

For a word to be spoken, there must be silence. Before, and after.

#Stunday #scape #autumn Looking up to the Château Frontenac from lower town in Old Québec. Fall colours were in full swing 🍂🍃🍁 #BlueSkyArtShow #Vertical Have a lovely Sunday friends! ☕️☀️🍂🌳

A local mayor is found nailed to a barge. Suspicion falls on Midsomer Barrow’s Communist Party chapter, worried that lowering standards in the soft fruit industry might threaten to reduce the population of Midsomer to a vicar and six pig farmers.

Toad found a frying pan in the kitchen. “I will hit that big animal with this,” said Toad. “All of his teeth will fall out.”
