Yesterday evening a swallow hit a window hard, we gave it water but it didn't fly away. Moved it into a safe spot in a raised bed with water and food and kept watch. Not visibly injured just stunned. This morning it's gone so I hope it's ok.

So that’s 2 million plus people being knowingly starved, while being “displaced” from ruin to ruin under bombardment. 57 kids dead from malnutrition already.

Haven't painted in ages so obviously I've decided to do an acrylic painting for my aunt's birthday. No pressure like.

It's seriously concerning that it is taking the killing of a Garda for a serious reconsideration of road safety in Ireland The deaths of so many children weren't enough? www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

I’ve only got two more blocks left in the crochet blanket I’m making. I’ll be joining them soon I hope! The border is large so it will take a little longer to finish.

My garden is getting a much needed watering this morning and the waterbutt will get a top up. On days like today I like the rain.

Amidst all this talk of online harms and parenting around the algorithm, too few are willing to discuss a much more pressing and pernicious problem: My YouTube feed's been destroyed by my six year old son's obsession with chess videos. observer.co.uk/news/columni...
