That’s it then, summer’s over. We’re straight back into winter now.

This is either Basil on steroids or I’ve planted Triffid seeds by mistake.

I think I’ll go to the pub tonight to celebrate my win on the Euromillions. I’ll have to top it up a bit to buy a pint but a win’s a win.

I just feel sorry for all the Boeing employees that didn’t vote for Trump But those that did this is what you voted for

😂🫡

I’ve always been perplexed by people who need to leave the planet in order to realise how precious and beautiful it is.

There is one word that describes Trump and it is [expletive deleted by moderator]. Apt don’t you think?

Baloo’s 2025 spring moult so far and there’s still plenty more to come out. It’s a slow process and he’s not very cooperative when it comes to rakes, combs and brushes.

Word of the day is ‘bugiard’ (17th century): one who distorts the truth beyond all recognition to fit their own agenda.

North Bromsgrove. The temporary traffic light capital of the world. 🙄😩

I think they’d find it tricky to hold the pencils.

“Historic”!? B******s! It was a junket. A massive, “look how much money I’ve got to waste on a frivolous trip to nowhere”. Makes me sick. If you want to impress people like me, spend your money on making other peoples lives better you bunch of morons.

Scary times for Americans.

I don't know why Putin is still wasting his money on propaganda and disinformation when he's got this useful idiot in the White House doing it all for free.

Simple pleasures: Just made an omelette in a brand new pan after ours decided it didn’t want to be non stick anymore. Made up. #SlipAndSlide.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Former Tory MP, Craig Williams, and 14 others, charged with gambling offences over the 2024 election. I’m surprised, as he doesn’t look like the sort of smug, entitled Tory prick that would think the rules didn’t apply to him.

Pub review: For a pub with a pretty poor reputation over recent years I can say from my experience tonight after its refurb and new management that it is a pleasant pub to be in and the beer is excellent. The problem ‘clientele’ have been given their marching orders. All in all, a lovely place now.

Well that’s a turn up. A pub with a bad reputation which I’ve not been in for over thirty years for that reason has recently reopened after a refit and change of management. I know the management who’ve taken it on so I have finally paid a visit. I can report the Queens Head Bromsgrove is very nice.

The only #Trump post I can bear to look at.

First Basil seedling 🌱 poking through. The same can’t be said for his pals and the parsley and coriander seeds yet. #slackers.

Extremely wealthy person burns money on a jolly outing. 🙄

Baby oak leaves. 🙂

Written on one of the new benches on Hartlebury common. Baloo is doing just that. “Life is Precious, Live Every Day to the Full”

In the absence of anything worth watching on mainstream television and an aborted watch of a woeful ‘ten little Indians’ on Prime we resorted to Youtube. Jacob Collier is brilliant. Never heard of him before tonight but what a musical talent he is. Check him out on you tube.

Lakes Buddhist doesn’t appear to be on @bsky.app but anyone who’s still on twatter could they pass this link on to him please. I’m sure he’d be proud of his dad’s inspiration for this wonderful piece of furniture.
