A book and tea rest, sandwiched between trying to get everything done, before I’m the next Covid domino in the house. #book #mushroom #mug

On top of a knackered, wooden garden chair, a paperback copy of Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop sits next to a mug with a red and white polka dot mushroom lid.

Honestly absolutely skint. The OVH bill for both #Cupofteasocial for this month and my own website for the year was a massive hit on the bank account this month.

I could really do with getting donations sorted and reach the goal earlier this month if people can help

Coming up on Sunday morning (5th May). I was given the opportunity to chat with a hero of mine: gardener, writer, TV presenter and all round-gentleman. Do tune in. Alan Titchmarsh is just lovely

@DoubleTreble A bleary-eyed good morning! I will be drinking all the tea and coffee today. 🫖☕️

Fox to Crow: don't push it and stop stealing my food

#Fox #Crow #Photography #Fuchs #Krähe

This is a photo of a Red Fox irritated by the close presence of a Crow..
The Crow is always close to the Fox trying to steal his food.
This goes on since years.
Very often the Crow is successful.

I heard the storm roll in at 5am. Heavy thunder and lightning flashes that lit up the window in the darkness. 11 seconds, 8 seconds apart. Usually a storm would lull me back to sleep but I lay paralysed with fear that it would wake our young dog up and I’d have to take her in the garden in the torrential rain. I didn’t sleep until it stopped. Amazingly, Dogface slept through the entire thing. Her barks woke me up at 6.30am, just as I was dreaming about a 17 year old shop dog called Infalude. In the dream my astonished partner said that Infalude was a violent, ancient religion that died out and the name was bad luck. The dog would die. I reminded him the dog was 17 years old. Oh yeah, he replied. At which point, I was woken by Dogface. In the real world, I can find no meaning for Infalude. There’s a vermicelli pudding called Faluda. Maybe I should seek it out. #storm #dream #breakfast #coffee

A bowl of porridge on the left, a small white cup with blue polka dots holds black coffee, next to it. Behiind these, a Moomins coffee tin.

@DoubleTreble I’m late to the party but this cup is brilliant! 😻

@SurrealSeal May Day! I’d forgotten, thank you. I shall go and listen to the birds in the garden and catch some vitamin D, if the sun stays out.

Despite my best efforts to avoid it, I’m coming down with the household cold. A coffee in bed, get ready and then take the hound out for an earlier walk than normal, before this thing hits me like a ton of bricks.

Close up of a cup propped up on top of a blue and white duvet. An out of focus bookshelf in the background. The cup has a picture of a grumpy looking Little My from the Moomins, laying amongst grass and flowers, with her arms supporting her head.

It’s hard to believe she’s 14 years old.

Close-up of a pretty tortoiseshell cat. She sits on the arm of a sofa, staring into the camera, reaching out with a front paw.

Too pooped to cook, I’m eating Marmite on toast for dinner and suddenly realise I had Marmite on toast for breakfast and a cheese & Marmite toastie for lunch in a cafe. I might eat some vegetables tomorrow. #marmite

@jezza That's great! Hope your hols were good. It feels counterintuitive to walk with a bad knee but I find it helps. Stairs, not so much.

Statement of truth from my best friend. I will wear this with pride. 👵

The sad face of a dog whose mum and dad have just spent an hour cleaning poo off her bottom. Dogs are gross. But cute. #dogsofmastodon #DoodlesOfMastodon

@jezza My knees give me bungalow envy. Hope yours feel better soon.

Morning walk in Frick Park. #fungi It has been rainy the past few days. Not sure of the variety.

Orange fungi around the base of a tree

Not so good at updating social media. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Here's a delicious café au lait I had a few weeks ago at a French café in San Francisco. #randompost #cafeaulait

Hello again. 👋

@Cbfoley It's basically thick brown jelly with no bits. I don't understand.
