A bit of this and a bit of that. Mostly this. Nothing but blue skies from now on... (movies, TV, scifi, fantasy, the natural world, photography, gardening, politics, words, medicine and common sense)

I just saw two sparrows "at it" as my mum would have said. They looked a little flustered and guilty looking after. Or maybe that was just me for spying on them.

It's a #butterfly day! 😍🤩🎉🦋 Beautiful day in #Yorkshire so we headed to the #HimalayanGardenSculpturePark, who are taking advice from @bcyorkshire.bsky.social & had lots of peacock & orange tips, plus green veined white, large white & a speckled wood. Mr Wonderful's pic. #joy #vitaminN

Jeff Bezos has more money than any human could spend - and he’s wasting it on planet-wrecking joy rides to space while people on earth starve. Why don’t we just tax the super-rich and use that money to fix wealth inequality AND the climate crisis?

I watched the documentary Brats yesterday. No mention of Anthony Michael Hall despite the fact he was in Sixteen Candles and more importantly The Breakfast Club. Despite being about the right age to watch most of the brat pack movies I only ever saw Pretty in Pink at the movies.

The iconic call of the Cuckoo echoes in today's #SpringArrivalSpotlight! Known for brood parasitism, these blue-grey birds leave chick-raising to others. Today is St Tiburtius’ Day - traditionally the day to hear the first Cuckoo of spring! Have you heard one calling? 🎵

It's been lovely and quiet all day. No lawnmowers. No children screaming with a decibel that pierces your brain. No motorbike or car revving. Just blackbirds, chaffinches, great tits, wrens and sparrows happily singing in the sunshine.

After hearing many good things about Octopus Energy I am really disappointed. In email communication they have called me Natalie three times. How is that even possible?? provided meter readings on their website. Their customer service managed to mix up electricity & gas readings. Head. Brick wall!!

A Government official said today, "We are not going back on Brexit." Do you want to go back on Brexit, I do, and most of the UK does too. It doesn't matter what they want, it matters what you do. That's democracy.

It's a #butterfly day! 🤩😍🎉🦋 Delighted to catch up with orange-tips in #SouthCumbria today, I'd decided it was watch only as the sun had turbo charged them, when this male stopped a few inches in front of me to feed from the native bluebells. @ukbutterflies.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social

Ever since I found out I have aphantasia & I think SDAM I hate it when people say "creating memories". I go places,do things, see & hear things & I probably remember it if I find it enjoyable or horrible but it is just vague facts...there is no creating. No sights, sounds or depth to it.

Not our usual Fly Day flyer… But when the Bee-fly shows up, you make an exception. These fuzzy little hoverers deserve their moment. #FlyDay
