Haven't been on here much for a couple of days. Molly Cat is definitely unwell - we think a base of tail/bottom problem, so a visit to the vet tomorrow. She's never been quite the same since the run in with the other cat, but noticeably worse since Friday evening. Ok for the time being tho' 🐈❤️

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Always enjoy this sort of thing

Brilliant long morning walk on Kilchoman beach and up the dunes, ever changing weather and stunning light. A great start to this #Islay visit.

And whilst not many people would have Nick Drake amongst their list of best singers, this gig shows only too clearly that no-one can sing Nick Drake songs anywhere near as well as Nick Drake.

The 2010 Nick Drake tribute concert is on BBC 4 as I write. It's all very lovely, but Vashti Bunyan singing Which Will is the only one which has hit to my heart.

New Viz annual title revealed #totp

I think I've done something wrong. I don't know what it was, but I'm dreading my annual appraisal 🐈😬

A quick, cold mooch up the garden. The oak tree is glowing gilden in the sunshine, and the apple tree has one last surviving apple clinging on.

Just come across this 👇 from 205 which tbh I'd never heard of before. The cast includes the usually brilliant Ben Whishaw as Keith Richards, which I have to admit sounds an intriguing bit of casting. Anyone seen it?

Anyone got any of their own shops and stuff they want to share? It's nice buying one of a kind things, especially at Christmas time. Feel free to share them here 🥰

Walked to the pub, lads. The scarf has been deployed.

If you aren't interested in garden birds etc probably best not to read on. As it's freezing a fresh unfrozen water source is as important as food for the little buggers this time of year if you're a feeder*. *Not that type

Random GIF No explanation. Go...

We had chicken last night, so I've put out some leftovers in that tray, with some bread soaked in gravy. Tbh the magpies have been pecking at it all morning, but Mr Fox turned up eventually. He seemed surprisingly wary though today, given how nonchalant he was yesterday.

"You will be glad to hear that while you were out I took the opportunity to take your record collection out of alphabetical order and rearranged it by genre. You are welcome."

It's all happening here this morning 🐈🦊🦌🐿

"The Home Office has re-assessed Peru and finds that it is no longer the deepest, or the darkest on our list. It is therefore safe for you to return, and we will compel you to do so within 1 week of receipt of this letter. Your marmalade sandwiches have been confiscated in lieu of your costs."

At the end of any holiday it's always good to get back home and return to a bit of normality. *sighs*

One of the problems of the modern world is that there are not enough Oliver Postgates. He remains one of the biggest influences on how I see the world and other people.

Still plenty of time for these though 🍻

Hey ho, time to wend our weary way home. First step, the ardous trip all the way back to Gare du Nord.

Anyway, that was Public Service Broadcasting. Very competent on the whole. A few songs in the first half incl. Night Mail ruined by hugely unnecessary massively overloud thrash quitar squall, but apart from that, really quite fun. I took a photo during 'Spitfire'.

I'd say it was a "hello fellow kids" moment for me, but tbh I don't think I'm that far off the median age. Ooh, Echo Beach as some warm up music.

Mrs Rox has gone off to do stuff for a while. I hate it when this happens. Oh.

Murky flower paintings. *Japanese ladies posing for bloody ages in front of them for TikTok videos not shown 😡"

*fetches ladder*

And you think you had a hard night

It's been 20° here today. Lovely for us on our break, and every table outside every bar, bistro and brasserie was packed, but it's mid-November, so it's not really quite right. Anyway, have a big white church on a hill.

So then, Paris. Pub? Oh.

Far too early for this sort of nonsense.

His next "piece" is apparently just a video of him laughing whilst he walks all the way to his bank.

What the husband @mjowen174.bsky.social says is true. It’s been a bit quiet in my shop lately. If you’re looking for #Christmas cards and gifts please have a look at my website. gailmyerscough.co.uk A repost would be lovely too.

You guys wanna see a dead body?

You know the part in Holy Grail where Michael Palin's character talks about all the castles he's built on top of swamps that you thought was just a bit of Python silliness? (See attached thread)

This joke is so dad , it's turned off some lights and said it's like Blackpool illuminations round here sometimes.

British spy steals Russian fighter jet? Completed it mate. James Bond - I wonder whatever happened to him. Haven't heard much about him recently.

Another everyday usage DuoLingo phrase has dropped.

I've only just seen this. I have been completely obsessed by the Grateful Dead at various stages of my life, and I'm sure this is as sad for all their fans as it is for me. RIP Donna 🙏

Year of The Cat, obvs. Hey ho.
