It's only 29 c, so Phaia still needs a sleeping bag , but she can have her head and arms out

In the UK, in 1949, 37% of all traffic was people on bicycles. Today's 1.4 - 1.6% is a staggering decline, and in the face of climate change, a staggering failure of transport policy.

I didn't hear this - but I agree with the sentiment . We have to do things when we feel disinclined . We expect young doctors to work in life saving situations over tired ( this is not right) . We expect parents to care for kids when they have migraines and illness.

The rig I'm on has put up first aid guides that were made with AI. Wouldn't bother with CPR there, would be more concerned by the fact is head isn't connected to his body

This grumpy poking baby was only grumpy because I stopped scratching . She demanded scritches from 5am to 6am. She doesn't persist if we don't oblige but bed is the only time she is snuggly so I rarely say no !

How can our government ask individuals to shoulder a burden that they aren’t willing to? How can they vaunt the international significance and heritage of Oxford if they themselves dismiss it so easily? It’s the audacity for me!

Because husband and I are getting more into bird calls we are finding holes in our language. I am particularly delighted to find the Italian for Willow warbler is 'fat him' (luì grosso) .

:( bbc radio 3 - Paul McCartney might be old but the beetles not enough for the early music show. :(

Sir, I thank God, I have been so well brought up that I can write my name. Henry VI, Part II [IV, 2] #ShakespeareSunday #DogsofBluesky #Westie📜🪶

Two sulky little dogs being forced to paddle in hot weather

We are trying to decide whether to take the dogs to a river bearing in mind its warm to walk Hallelujah and The Dogtor and husband has two long work days where they won't get a long field run. Dogtor will love it swim and get exercise . Phaia won't care , Hallelujah will hate it

Could not get a photo but Babka(t) met a wolf dog through the fence and kissed it ; he kissed back. She's such a bold little cat

Sky buying ITV is the thought of thing the regulator should have nixed before it even started

I always thought that if the Cottrell story cut through it would hurt Farage because it's not just corruption, it's weird. The guy calls him "Daddy".

Okay, so I've decided. America does not deserve a birthday this year. You know who deserves an extra birthday this year? Cats. So I hereby declare that every cat in your house is having a birthday today, and expect us all to spoil them accordingly. Happy birthday, cats everywhere.

when the Times is saying, and I quote, 'Here is the full story of Farage and his criminal consigliere,' that's not great

Happy Birthday this #caturday to Croquembouche :)

Omg - I have had amazing my relieving news today. My PIP was extended without me asking for 5 years from now ( my extisting one extended ) . As I am not going to recover and the application process is impossible for me to do independently this is SUCH a relief, literally tear jerking.

Babka(t) enjoying the terrace this #caturday

Looks like wolf dogs and owner might become our lodger ! Very exciting .

Calvin may be looking for a feline companion Ideally: Occitanie S France Male Age 8-10 Must be non-dominant Like other (weird) cats Be a cuddle bucket Quite the wish list, but if you know of any specific feline floofs that fit the bill, please send details (am aware of search sites/assos etc)

The curtain wars have been long, with many a battle and the front line changing throughout the morning. This is the latest battle. #caturday

No-one should have a billion dollars but if someone has to I do think it should be me

I found this useful and terrifying. I got 5/10 on the first set of questions, and 7/10 the second. Art seems to confuse me more than photos - but still not at all confident. TBH - part of this is vision issues and brain fog .

Last night we were plagued by fireworks. This made me extremely grumpy . It's as dry as a crisp here, barns are filling with hay more cut grass lies in fields . Luckily most animals locally don't flinch ( benefits of living in an MOD area where they hear and see shooting often) but ....rude

Babka(t) and Goxua are resting for tomorrow.

@herissonrose.com Look who is staying the night at our house! They are separated from our dogs because - too much risk of drama ( the Dogtor HATES Wolf dogs she has decided and I'm not prepared to push her with her public access requirement in mind!)

The reflecting pool . It's good but very sweet ( unsurprisingly!)

Currently hosting a friend who lodges in a house where her 50 y o landlord has brought home a 20 yo fofyhdweekend and so relieved that most people now realised while legal is 'a bit yucky' in most cases. Friend couldn't stay there because triggering.

It was bloody hard finding curacao locally - I think everyone in my corner of uk must be drinking the reflecting pool cocktail .

We went shopping and the Dogtor was perfect so I let her choose a treat ( she chose ham but thought about cold chicken) and a toy. I suggested other toys but she loved this little dog - so that's what we got !

If I had a robot I don't really want it to deliver food. I'd like it to fold and put away laundry and sort the doom clutter piles.

Just went outside. That was a mistake !

Ok - so a twelve hour day was pushing things yesterday . I up because Hallelujah's physio is arriving shortly and I want to be with him but I fully expect to flake early afternoon. We'll see!

For what feels like the 30th night in a row, someone is driving their illegally loud car illegally fast around Marple. It will happen again tomorrow, nothing will change, and people will instead obsess about the speed and danger of cyclists.

I managed 12 hours out of bed today! Not all of it awake , but better than last couple of days !

Saying we should all go back to physical media I think misses the point. I actually *like* buying games and movies digitally for a bunch of reasons. What we need is better consumer protections so the things we do buy digitally are actually owned and companies cant delete/revoke access!

"The average Briton's wealth has fallen by more than a fifth over the past 5 years". If only there were an obvious reason why. I can't think of anything significant happening around 5 years ago that could make Britain so vulnerable. Let's make the person that made Brexit happen our Prime Minister.

“They’ve silenced her. “This is an attempt to punish someone who spoke the truth.” The "bizarre" moment @maitlis.bsky.social is forced to ask Facebook whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams to leave the studio.

Is 11 am too early to go back to bed?

#terriertuesday , don't snooze on posting your terriers today ! ( volume on for snoring)

I have been awake for 5 1/2 hours today and frankly, it feels like an achievement. I have a medical appointment in the morning, husband is taking care of supper. In 1/2 hour I hope to be back in bed !

A very sloppily made basic watermelon tart with caramelised pistachios.

Well, I won't be tidying this pile away now I see.
