@jmcefalas.bsky.social Morning !

Well it was just horrendous out there at the beach today! Icy wind and rain. Bryn of course loved it. He came home and had a warm shower- as did I!

34 yrs ago on this day, I cried all the way driving back home from Walsall

Saturday cuddles on the sofa

Its a wet, dark Safurday morning out there. In here, its tea and cosy in the boudoir

This boy is growing up. 17 months old now

Another soggy doggy day

Another wet walk in the rain. Autumn is now sliding into Winter

Unless you had to - you wouldn't do it, the rain is so heavy..

On this day last year. I miss Jack so much. He gave Bryn a great start in life

Yesterday. He does love the puddles! We are working on the double retrieve .

Busy me ! Pea & Ham soup on the go for dinner with soda bread and individual apple crumbles from my own apples but first - OH asked for more Welsh Cakes.

Good

Getting there. 16 month old now

Earlier...

Live wind map - it is roaring past our house!

Autumn colour as I plant my wall flowers out and my helper

My boy is growing up

My tree wasailing paid off !

Bryn met 2 collie dogs on his walk this morning and played with his ball and their ball. No growling or barking involved . Hurrah

Dining room ' back ' after decoration.. need some new curtains now!

Fed up with the dark nights already...we will lose 2 hours 45 mins of daylight over September.

I have finished painting the dining room its been a 3 day thing - ceiling, walls and all the woodwork. It was 'Stewart Red' for 23 years. Just have to put the furniture back properly.. here is a sneak peak.

Looks like rain later then...

@marions.bsky.social Arthur and Merlin visited and left yesterday. Bryn is exhausted now!

How long before people wake up to how astronomically stupid he is

A hallmark of fascism is to attack the judiciary.

Donald Trump should be banned from the UK. Fascist America can F off.

Just driven over Salisbury Plain and the countryside looks gorgeous with all the trees coming into leaf and the blackthorn in bloom.

It is totally gorgeous out there this morning

Thanks, Fox “News.”

Another unvaccinated child has died from the measles in Texas. There are over 600 cases in the US right now. Letting children die to a completely preventable disease is absolute insanity.

Mouse in my greenhouse has eaten all my broad beans, sweetcorn and corgettes that were germinating. Bloody wildlife . All now resown and covered

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss: 1. 1929 (the Great Depression) 2. 1987 (Black Monday) 3. 2008 (the Great Recession) 4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

This is not to downplay the absolute hell that people living within the USA must be feeling, as well as non-Americans witnessing the harm being done to their own countries by the madman in the White House. This is just my personal lens on the situation. 💔

Daughter said she saw a choccy lab sleeping in her garden when she was hanging out her washing yesterday and thought it was her dog Merlin. Went in and Merlin was asleep on the sofa. Must have been a Jack (d) visit. How lovely.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned; Trump golfed while world finances did

NO

Scientists are asking the question, is Donald Trump the first person to have a negative IQ.

Mama made pizza..

Big boy new collar day - large.

10 months old now and full of it

My canvas of Jack (d) now watches over me in my office
