A thread of notes I've made in my notebook about my dad: 1. The Swimming Pool.

She had a lot to do with the change in our world..

Every pheasant runs like it's frantically saying "shit shit shit" to itself.

"So how do you become a biologist?" "You spend years studying biolo and eventually you get the gist"

Yes. You

Re. previous post. Yesterday was a day of barking at Everything. A speck of dust, a look, a passing thought about why we didn’t rehome a tired rabbit instead..all set off a frenzy of ear splitting yatter. Today, better, not great, but ..small wins etc. Hello to fellow ear coverers

Huge progress re not barking at the window as she spots every passing item from bee to van thanks to really adhering to advice given in More Than Just A Dog by @sociabledog.bsky.social The tension in the house has dropped by 100%, shoulders down, hopes up. Thank you Simon

I don't remember planting this

Why yes, I have been talking about you today

Just about to dive into this book by @sociabledog.bsky.social to help us with our beautiful Italian street rescue. Two years in and we're making progress but home remains unvisitable. I'm sure there's many of us out there, tearing our hair silently & desperate for a happy sociable pup

Thanks to this message I was alerted to this, so I have just spent a “fun” 20 minutes turning off the ability of Apple/Siri to learn from all your apps. Annoyingly you need to go into every app to turn off the learning option

Welcome back sunshine, missed you

neither have I worked out how to find & transport a photo on my android phone without screenshotting it 🙄

Admiring @brittoswiss.bsky.social ability to bring sunshine to her photos I realise I actually use clenched fists to achieve a mildly upward curve on my own sunny visage

Welcome, wee koala all the way from a friend in Victoria, not sure I'll be able to pack you away for 11 months 🧡

You ok there pup?

I really like getting cards though 😬

Culled the Christmas card list to a manageable miniscule level. My gift to the cullees, freedom!

Elegant request not to go out in the rain

Old. Could have phrased that better

Just landed from twtr, shaking off the dust and looking for old and much missed faces
