Make Aneurysm’s Great Again

"My oh my Herbie. What big ears you have". 👂👂 "All the better to hear the biscuit wrappers Mother". 🍪 #greyhounds

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance". It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder". The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

I knew it was cold. Not showing this to Herbie. #greyhounds

That really must have been some party Herbie. #greyhounds

Picked up, by chance, the Vienna Philharmonic New Years Day Concert. Watch it if you get a chance. So joyful, enchanting. The Vienna Ballet interludes were enrapturing (not usually a ballet fan), I think it would be classed as modern style & absolutely perfect. Going to hunt it down & watch again.

I'm starting to think Herbie might have sneaked out to party last night. #greyhounds

I see a biscuit in your hand Daddy. Give. #greyhounds

Sorry Herbie, that's the rustling of leaves you can hear, not sweetie wrappers. #greyhounds

Herbie came bearing gifts on Christmas Eve. Another bloody potato. Would have preferred some gold. Also, he needs to work on his handing over of gifts skills. Hate to see a man & his dog reduced to fighting over ownership of a spud. #greyhounds

Tried to time this to catch everyone awake, so if your celebrations have already started, or if you've still got a few hours to go, Herbie would like to wish you all a very happy holiday however you're spending it. And if you don't mind, he's busy watching out for turkey rustlers. #greyhounds 💕💋

Da Cat Grab.

So Herbie decided it was time to liberate the potato basket from the kitchen again last night. Alerted by the sound of falling spuds we saw him trotting in like Red Riding Hood carrying her basket to Grandma's house. Put it down nice & tidy on his bed, sniffed it & fell asleep. Job done #greyhounds

Saw this on Facebook. No idea who the artist is. #greyhounds

Anyone heard anything from @greyhoundfanatic.bsky.social ? Not my business to pry, but haven't seen her on here for a few days. Wondering if Bluesky has mixed up the state borders again & moved her into an age restricted zone.

Mummy has woken from her post-birthday coma & Herbie would like to know when he's getting his walk. He's had his coat on since Friday. #greyhounds

It's official 🎄🕯️☃️🍾🤶🎅. I'll do the rest over the weekend, my Christmas spirit only extended to 2 mini trees this afternoon.

Eeek, sorry. Just read some reviews for this company. They're not good at all. Might need a rethink. Caveat emptor & all that. I'd hate anyone to waste their money.

Saw this t-shirt today. Prices are in GBP/USD/CAD so I guess they're happy to ship (nothing for the Asia/PAC countries though). Quite tempting #greyhounds

After enduring the horror of a walk in the rain this morning, Herbie has gratefully accepted his dribbly cushion & a warm blankie. He plans to hunker down for the rest of the day. #greyhounds

The flags were sold as “patriotism”. What they’ve delivered is fear: late-night confrontations, mobs gathering in minutes, and police shrugging when violence follows. eastangliabylines.co.uk/politics/loc...

I don’t want Farage to come a cropper under these racist allegations. I want him to be hung out to dry on his links to Russia and his girlfriend’s dodgy purchase of a house worth not far off a million. He’s a crook as well as a racist.

The Second Window. Once upon a time, there was a green-eyed Tabby Cat who ran a bookshop by the Christ Church gate of Canterbury Cathedral. It was a marvellous place, four stories high, with treasures on every shelf & free buttered toast, plum cake & hot sweet tea for all who visited.

!!CHEESE!! I've been cheesed! My friend knows me too well (pickled onions models own).

There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

David Lammy, "Leaving the EU has badly damaged our economy" "Untruths were peddled by Brexiters" "We should work to be closer to EU" Labour should have said this 16 months ago when they came into office. Better late than never

Herbie heard me say it was - 2°C outside this morning. He's showing no signs of life. #greyhounds

Mr Mole was busy last night. Herbie's not too impressed with his work. #greyhounds

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a partridge in a pear tree. Ate it.

Too true sadly.

British MPs must be the cheapest politicians in the world to buy out. Millions of contracts handed out based on taking them out for a meal or a few thousand quid of donations. No self respect.

The Removal of the Sandwich Plates Ceremony. All plates must be paraded in front of Herbie so that he can check for emptiness/crumbs (yes, of course we'd already shared). #greyhounds

Herbie has found his little patch of Vitamin D. This boy won't be getting rickets. #greyhounds

Sorry @antalya975.bsky.social this was meant for you & I replied to my own post. Duh!

Warburton's are selling crumpet dog beds. Only have small size left, but big enough for your whippets/iggies & small pods #greyhounds warbs-shop.co.uk

Saturday breakfast treat, some brioche instead of brown toast with lumps in it. Herbie has caught on & has refused his rusks & milk. He's giving me sad dog eyes from his kitchen bed. There's just one bite left. Who gets it, me or him? Won't anyone feed a starving waif? #greyhounds

When Herbie decides that's enough walking for now, thank you. #greyhounds

Hope everyone celebrating Thanksgiving today is having a good time in the company of the people & the furry little ones that they love. Best wishes to you all for the coming year from Herbie & his Mum. #greyhounds

Daddy was allowed the honour of cuddles on Herbie's bed. A rare privilege. I think he had chicken in his pockets. Apologies for the braces & undone trousers. This is how I am forced to live. 🫣 #greyhounds

Spent a few days at the flat last week. Shopping opportunities for us, & for Herbie a chance to stand on the balcony & bark at passing dogs with no fear of retribution. Also, the rooms are long enough for him to build up a terrifying indoor speed. Licking his lips in anticipation. #greyhounds

Winter is here, the icy puddles have arrived. Herbie is not at all keen on walking through freezing mud, but I don't think his Dad is going to carry him. #greyhounds

I make each of my flower necklaces by casting real flowers in silver incl snowdrop & bluebells. I also hand-sculpt much-loved bird species to make wearable versions incl wrens & blackbirds 20% off my jewellery atm with code TINYOWL20 Cut off day for🌲orders is Tue 25 Nov: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/silv...

It would be so helpful if you could RT my post above about my Etsy shop. I haven't been able to work for more than half the year due to severe depression/a breakdown. If you see this & could spare a few moments for a RT it would help me put my designs in front of a few more eyes. Thankyou so much🌿

A rude old crow is laughing at Herbie. He can hear it, but he can't see it. Time to wear the greyhound ear hat & investigate. #greyhounds

It's really cold today, so Herbie got a shorter walk than usual. He didn't approve, so he's showing his dissatisfaction by staring longingly out of the car's back window & giving us a soundtrack of big sighs. We got the message Herbie. #greyhounds

2°c this morning, so Herbie wore his toasty duvet coat for the first time this year. Look at that fat little greyhound bottom. #greyhounds

Thin skinned, insecure tossers. I find it a handy shorthand description that can be applied to any one of them.

Plans to leave refugees in a state of perpetual uncertainty about where and if they can rebuild their lives are not just performative cruelty, they are counterproductive to integration and the economy. It doesn’t have to be like this - 1/2

Why is it that all this government and several of the opposition parties seemingly have to offer is 'tough, tough, tough' on everything? What happened to empathy and compassion? What happened to working hard to make as many people's lives as possible better?

Doesn’t matter. “Starmer and Mahmood wanted to take jewellery from asylum seekers” is a mark those two will never be able to wash off and which the party as a whole will have to put in onerous work to remove.
