The red-legged partridges were back today and taking advantage of my ground feeder (please ignore my terrible lawn - it’s getting it’s first cut and a scarify when I have a free dry day this week). Not native but lovely birds that I’m delighted are regular visitors now #birdsky #naturesky #gardensky

What’s your sign?

Add to the list other things 20 year old Mike would be horrified by: I just excitedly ordered an electric scrarifier for the lawn

Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas

Worth reposting this now it’s confirmed…

And yet James and his colleagues will continue to post on that cesspool. Until you leave you are just part of the problem

The gulf between what people think of Tony Blair commenting on war in the Middle East & what Tony Blair thinks people think of Tony Blair commenting on war in the Middle East is positively Badenochian.

There’s nothing dignified about welcoming home the bodies of military personnel in a campaign baseball cap. We know from his previous statements he doesn’t give a shit about the armed forces anyway. This is all about him getting a good photo opportunity

Watching Minority Report. Such a brilliant movie. #filmsky #MinorityReport

Homemade minestrone soup and cheese toastie for lunch. Didn’t have breakfast so I was bloody starving

Oh yes. I’m pumped for this… #TheTestaments #tvsky

Just wanted to say that I am eternally grateful that Andrew Henry Robertson MBE did not sign for Spurs in January and that he remains a brilliant association footballer for the mighty Liverpool FC. I hope this continues for many years henceforth. Here endeth my thoughts on the matter #LFC #YNWA

These really are dangerous. On my third and really rather tipsily watching disco bangers on a YouTube at great volume

Well after a reds win it would rude not to celebrate. Nice big caipirinha for Mike as he watches Gardener’s World and cleans the kitchen (20 year old Mike would’ve checked into Dignitas reading that sentence was his future lol)

Watching a lovely program on iPlayer called The Wild Gardener. About a fella setting up a 1 acre wildlife garden in Co. Wicklow. Just found out from it that Ireland only has 3 native amphibian species compared to 7 in the UK. Learn something every day! Worth watching anyway… #naturesky #tvsky

Tuesday night: 20-4 to Liverpool on shots. Friday night: 20-4 to Liverpool on shots. Wolves had 0.44 xG in both matches too. Weird.

Christ on a bike, some people will find a tenner on the street and just moan it wasn’t a twenty

And onto the last 8 draw we go #LFC #YNWA

Good to see Florian back with those wonderful feet #LFC #YNWA

Oooooo lovely goal Curtis lad #LFC #YNWA

Brilliant 70mins from the lad. Needs more of them going forward #LFC #YNWA

Warnock must be devastated we’ve scored 2. Not turning the volume on to check mind #LFC #YNWA

Get in there!!! Mo rifles it into the roof of the net from a lovely Robbo ball. Linesman is blind but VAR does us a favour for once #LFC #YNWA

Get in there Robbo!!!! He doesn’t score often but they often are big!! #LFC #YNWA

How many corners are we going to get today? And probably not score from… #LFC #YNWA

The head of football at the BBC should be up at The Hague for crimes against humanity for putting Stephen Warnock on commentary #LFC #YNWA

Thought I had a reprieve when I saw that we were on BBC as well as TNT. Just turned on the Beeb and heard the woolly tones of Stephen Warnock…. Cue the Pet Shop Boys… #LFC #YNWA

FAO Liverpool Football Club. Many thanks. #LFC #YNWA

Was yummy as ever. Need a prematch lie down now

Ready to go under a hot grill….

And to add insult to injury it’s on TNT so we’ll have Fletch and McCoist on comms and McMannaming in the studio…. #LFC #YNWA

Just remembered we’re back at Molyneux tonight #LFC #YNWA

In the past politicians would turn to Machiavelli’s “The Prince” as a guide to the art of power and politics. These boot lickers have used Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Emperor’s New Clothes” instead. And even then they are so stupid they missed the true lesson of that

I’m struggling with Anthropic’s AI tool being called Claude. When I hear Claude this fella keeps springing to mind so I’d be too scared to ask it a question

Always reminds me of when the great Steven Toast went to an audition for 007… (If you’ve not watched Toast of London then do so and give yourself a treat)

I am begging, absolutely begging, people who follow this absolute charlatan to read this piece & unfollow him. For #LFC supporters, his behaviour in the aftermath of Diogo Jota’s death, and the way that he *appeared* to be trying to monetise it, should’ve been reason enough to stick him in the bin.

Morning Glory seedlings are another matter and are going great guns. Not tried these before but rampant annual climbers with gorgeous flowers appealed so trying them out to go on trellis on the house. These are Ipomoea tricolor “Heavenly Blue' (stock photo included) #gardensky #flowersky #plantsky

Marinaded chicken going in the fridge for tea. Doing my Chinese chicken kebabs with fried rice and spicy peanut butter and coconut sauce #Foodsky

Sowing tiny seed like lobelias and nicotianas can be tricky to get right. The advice is always to sow thinly - not sure that plan to sow thinly worked out too well with these trailing lobelias I’m growing for my hanging baskets …… #gardensky #flowersky #plantsky

Grifting charlatans the lot of them

Last time we saw a Tudor taking over go this badly it was 1553…. Oh Spurs

Zelensky once again showing leadership, magnanimity and diplomatic skill under exceptionally difficult circumstances. I’m a petty bitch. If it was me in that situation I’d tell the Trump administration to go fuck themselves after the way they have treated him

How I feel when someone blocks me.

Zelensky has done everything he possibly can to satisfy this admin while he fights a war of survival for his people. And the Trump admin has done nothing but repeatedly treat him with disrespect, scorn & ridicule. 2 days ago, Trump called him “PT Barnum.” This is how Z responds.

Picked these up on way home and oh boy these are as good as you’d think they’d be. Yum yum

Hope he muttered under his breath “for Reform”

Finally able to dry my bedsheets on the line today. It’s just so much nicer than drying them indoors during the cold and wet

My best mate’s lovely dog died this morning and he’s in bits. It’s so so horrible when you have to say goodbye to them. They’re part of the family aren’t they and very quickly take up residence in your heart. Going to give my two boys some extra treats today
