Oh Finnie, it's so hard to believe I'll never see him again. In the last 7 months 3 of the 4 cats that visit my garden have gone. Finn was my best friend 💔

Pi 13 years ago. My goodness he was a handsome boy

It seems that my lovely friend Finnie has been a victim of the traffic on the A2. My heart is broken. I've had enough of losing my friends

My lovely friend Finnie has gone missing. He hasn't been seen since Friday morning. His actual owner and I are very worried and desperately hope he comes back soon

Pi crammed into his tank

Animal doing the chorus is great!

A group of about 8 workmen are currently cutting down a lovely and very big tree just down my alley. This has made me very angry and sad. It's absolutely the worst time of year to be cutting trees, right in the middle of nesting season 😭😡

People are just so thoughtless and awful 😡 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A bit of my garden

Several damsel flies are whizzing round the pond. Such beautiful colours

Finn left the kitchen and went for a cool bush instead

Finn's popped round for a lie down in my cool kitchen

Pi was having a grumpy day

Despite them all being in pots with copper tape around them the slugs ate all bar one of the delphiniums and all of the lupins

Loads of butterflies in the garden this morning

Not sure who's sillier on Twitter, Elon Musk for claiming history's most infamous far right dictator was a socialist, or the climate change sceptics for saying this temperature in May is fine because a few million years ago the surface of the planet was molten lava

Tomorrow my grand daughter is taking her driving test, which is absurd as she's just a small child. It may be that she's actually 27 but to me she's a small child

Such amazing creatures!

9 years ago I had masses of oriental poppies. Today I have 2

The sun has enticed the poppies to open. They don't seem as big as they used to be

Jimmy tried very hard to fit in the little box

Frogs enjoying the sun

The cats are unusually close this morning. Maybe because Lola's asleep

Nice action shot of Sonny leaping over Jessie

Big poppy, 7 years ago today. They've only just come up this year and are nowhere near opening

I've just been reading about how Google has now changed from posting links to an "AI powered experience filled with conversational answers". I'm not worried because I haven't used it for many use and use Ecosia instead because they plant trees. I suggest everyone does this, why would you not?
