This pub thing definitely needs sorting, but, what I have missed for years as a non drinker is when you could afford to go down to the village pubs and just get pub grub. Where I used to live went down the gastro pub route and became too expensive and the one here now just does Tapas so I don't go.

So I knitted a frog to save my sanity in these crazy times.

She got snuggled in earlier today in this horrible weather, just heavy rain here at the mo, hoping it doesn't turn to snow.

Dear Americans, don't let the death of Renee Good be in vain. Rise up now or it'll be too late, the rest of the world is counting on you to stop that lunatic. 🙏

Think I should just watch kids TV all day for the next month, don't think I can take much more of this!

Every fucking day! Deranged old men given unlimited power by deluded citizens thinking they would improve their shitty lives, funded by those very people who made their lives shittier destroying everything, murdering and pillaging from the comfort of their protected worlds. STOP! Just STOP!

4.39pm and still lightish, hurrah! Blue tit back and snuggling down for another cold night.

Busy making fat balls for the small birdies this morning.

Phew! added moss and wool earlier but was worried birdie might think something off, I wasn't wrong. Came back but clearly confused and unsure so flew off 😨. But thankfully came back and now settled down after checking it was safe. Now all snugged up and hopefully a bit warmer now. 😄

What a day to break down, but luckily gorgeous young guy was outside my house so got to warm up inside with a coffee, he learnt some English and I learnt some Punjabi. Battery was flat apparently so hopefully he will be ok now.

My late sisters tropical hibiscus in glorious flower, cheers me every time it flowers.

Had this bird box up for 3 years and no one has used it other than a hop in and out but spotted someone in and out this morning, now saw this little fluff ball hunkering down for the night. Wish I had put some of my needle felting wool in there now! 😍

Trump! What the actual fuckity fuck! He is burning down every bit of peace and world order achieved after WW2. International law has just flown out of the window. WTF have you done America! We need to break all ties.

Extra food for the foxes tonight as it's so cold. 3 pairs of beady eyes waiting for it under the trees this evening. 👀 🦊🦊🦊

This works well. Thanks @tarquinfauntleroy.bsky.social

Yum, just devouring some delicious Palestinian dates my friend bought me for xmas especially in support of Palestine. She's such a star.

Kitchen still needs loads doing so what does my AuDHD brain demand? Seek out pink dye to get the exact colour I want to knit piglets ears now Eeyore is almost done. 😂Although I did manage to find the tiny radiator leak to explain pressure drop in tank.

Phew, seems Daikin have upped their customer service. Had no hot water past 3 days, glitch in the matrix it seems as it wasn't using hot water priority when it's below zero. Called them today and had phone call back to adjust settings over the phone. Hope it's worked!

Lovely day with my nephew and his girlfriend and chuffed how much she loves the matching kitty I made for her for xmas.

😍Check out the size of this blue whale compared to the boat. Nature is truly humbling!

Abso-f@cking-lutely

Outrage in Daventry as Reform Council announce introducing expensive parking charges in town and max council tax increase. Adding an extra £5 to go to the cinema. Oh and a £20 increase on brown bin collection making it £80. So much for the 'doge' promises. Free parking is about all it has to offer.

Admittedly dead people cost less but if Wes Streeting cared about people he'd be launching reviews into why so many of us consider death as a viable option. Instead he seems more concerned with curbing much needed diagnosis. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Bloomin loving having a dishwasher again after 4 years without. Hurrah!

Phew, done for today, rest can wait till after xmas now. Lots still to do and need more doors but need my head to re-group, my AuDHD can't handle too much at once, oiling worktop enough for now and can't think about anymore for now. Bloomin love that double sink!

Kitchens starting to kitchen, he's doing a good job of juggling it all in and making good the crappy second hand units. Won't be finished yet but it's got to be better than what it was!

This! Let’s share like mad.

I don't have a cat for caturday but I do have one I crocheted for my nephews GF for xmas, hopefully with the markings of her cat in roughly the right places.

We launched our Crowdfunder an hour ago - and we've already sailed past £10,000. Extraordinary. Hope is here. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/hopeishere

Took a look at my electricity costs now 2 years since I had the grant for the HP and solar. Last year total including solar payback it was £724 so far this year £533. Last December was £158 so looking good unless it's much colder than last year.

Hurrah! Carpenter is coming on Saturday at least to get main part in with the sink etc and worktops on. Phew! At last!

WTF is the matter with tradesmen! It's making me ill now waiting for my second hand kitchen to be put in. Promised end of October, so ordered oak worktop and sink. Had to get him to come and cut it to size as it couldn't be left in the garage. Promised me again never happened, promised this week 1/2

Prince was a Dog in previous life

Agile prices high right up till 8.00 so trying out my new battery heated lunch box for a curry I batch cooked last week. Rice cooked earlier on keep warm mode in the rice cooker which costs next to nothing. I do love a gadget 😁

This is what happens when you put a preening, lazy, populist, dilettante in charge of a country. Johnson was completely out of his depth and more concerned with his pathetic perceived popularity than leading this country through the greatest crisis since 1939. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm...

Oh dear, in a rare peak of energy I cleaned the outside conservatory windows and feeling rather proud until I went back in to see how bad the inside ones are 🤣

Starmers response to Trump over the BBC will be very telling. I have so far agreed that he has to humour the vindictive old fool but not over this. I don't think he should even engage with it.
