Good evening Squirrel Fans.

There are some countries where they ban books, mostly because those in power are afraid of fireworks going off! :-

“The Library didn’t only contain magical books, the ones which are chained to their shelves and are very dangerous. It also contained perfectly ordinary books, printed on commonplace paper in mundane ink. It would be a mistake to think that they weren’t also dangerous, just because reading them didn’t make fireworks go off in the sky. Reading them sometimes did the more dangerous trick of making fireworks go off in the privacy of the reader’s brain.”
― Terry Pratchett, Soul Music

Off to see what mischief I can get up to in Night City.

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you’re well & safe! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖

Monday has stormed in past the weekend like a tornado in a glass factory!

Changeable conditions here in deepest, darkest Yorkshire with the temperature back down to a much more comfortable high if 18ºC!

Nothing pressing on today so will take the day as it comes.

Have a cracking day #Today & remember #RuleNo1: Don’t let ‘em Cash-ew ! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖

Action shot of a red squirrel jumping from one rowan tree branch to another, with a back towards the camera, head down, forepaws outstretched, tail in the air, middle of the body obscured by a tree trunk. Black lantern-shaped bird feeder on the background and green wooden house wall with a window on the background

Red squirrel sitting on a branching trunk of a rowan tree, staring at the camera, grass with yellow flowers underneath, green wooden house wall on the background

Red squirrel stood up on its hindpaws, forepaws together facing downwards, staring at the camera next to a rown tree trunk on the left. Surrounded by green grass

Splooting and mumching in the sun
Edit: Freudian slip - meant to be "munching", but this is actually a mama squirrel, so....

Sunday has slumped on the sofa looking all hot & bothered.

It’s a very warm start to the day parts of the house still holding the heat from yesterday.

We’re supposed to be going for a foraging trip to Costco™ in a bit, I’m just grateful it’s a bit of a cooler day!

Cashew later Peeps, have a fabulously nutty day #Today ! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖

Good evening Squirrel Fans.

The problem with the weather in the UK is that it tends to be very … amateurish, especially at the extreme ends of the scale. It doesn’t have the experience that your average desert has, which has learned that it can, with practice, drop the nighttime temperature by a good 20 degrees & still be able to fry eggs on car bonnets by 10am the next morning.
Sadly here in the UK we simply don’t hit 30ºC often enough to for the lesson to stick. Hence we gently broil in our own juices overnight! :-

“The cold air hit him like a door. It was freezing. That wasn’t what was supposed to happen in deserts, was it? Deserts were all hot sand and camels and . . . and . . . he struggled for a while, as a man whose geographical knowledge got severely cramped once you got off paved road . . . camels, yes, and dates. And possibly bananas and coconuts. But the temperature here made your breath tinkle in the air.”
― Terry Pratchett, Jingo

Off to Night City to see if it’s any cooler in the virtual world!

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you’re well & safe! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖

Saturday came battering at the windows this morning, demanding entry after being at pre-solstice party all night!

Happy Solstice Day to those who celebrate!

Stonkingly hot here in deepest, darkest Yorkshire, kicking off at 21ºC & heading for 29!

Can’t believe that we’re ½ way thru the year already, this year has sped by so far!

No plans for today other than staying out of the heat!

Good evening Squirrel Fans.

In tonight’s quote Vimes & Carrot are talking about religious schism that caused a war - I’m not in anyway suggesting that this in any way a comment on current events:

“Vimes shook his head. “That always chews me up,” he said. “People killing one another just because their gods have squabbled—” “Oh, they’ve got the same god, sir. Apparently it’s over a word in their holy book, sir. The Elharibians say it translates as ‘god’ and the Smalies say it’s ‘man.’” “How can you mix them up?” “Well, there’s only one tiny dot difference in the script, you see. And some people reckon it’s only a bit of fly dirt in any case.” “Centuries of war because a fly crapped in the wrong place?” “It could have been worse,” said Carrot. “If it had been slightly to the left the word would have been ‘liquorice.”
― Terry Pratchett, Jingo

Things are getting fun in night city - I’ve started to do the Night City / Pacifica car heist missions, boy does pinching a set of wheels get the local gangs riled up!

Friday has meandered in wearing a fetching 1 piece bathing suit, looking for somewhere to chill out in today’s predicted heatwave!

Still fairly (20ºC) cool here, but a high of 29º forecast for later!

I will be the small melting thing in the corner!

Plans for today - maintains a supply of cold drinks & avoiding being par-boiled!

A cute brown squirrel sitting on a boardwalk at the beach eating something that looked like a nut.

The squirrel’s bushy tail is fanned out to the side of this peaceful little creature, and you can see the shadows of the leaves from a nearby tree on the boardwalk as well as the soil and sand behind it.

Good evening Squirrel Fans.

Tonight’s quote sums up my professional life (as was) rather well:

“It is well known that a vital ingredient of success is not knowing that what you’re attempting can’t be done. A person ignorant of the possibility of failure can be a halfbrick in the path of the bicycle of history.”
― Terry Pratchett, Equal Rites

Ok going back to saving the President of the NUS ( New United States) a much nicer & brighter person than the current encumbers of its pre-cursor!

Edited AI image of a red squirrel, sitting on a comfortable brown leather chair, with a white PS5 controller in his paws. He appears to be gaming and he's got a little smile on his face, so maybe he's winning?

Thursday has charged in looking slightly miffed that Wednesday got here first!

A lovely sunny start to the day, the temp promises to hit a toasty 27ºC today!

Have already polished off some of my chores so BAU I suspect for the rest of the day.

Good evening Squirrel Fans.

I always feel that pTerry was, amongst other things, a master craftsman of the English language! For example tonight’s quote I feel shows that he wielded the simile like Da’Vinci weilded a paintbrush! :-

“Esk stood on the deck of the barge and looked around. The sky was bluer than a biscuit barrel, fitting neatly over a broad valley through which the river ran as sluggishly as a planning inquiry.
Behind her the Ramtops still acted as a hitching rail for clouds, but they no longer dominated as they had done for as long as Esk had known them. Distance had eroded them.”
― Terry Pratchett, Equal Rites

On that note I’m off to hide in Night City again!

Oh tonight’s pic is the bun Mrs S treated me with today - those who might be offended by cake should look away now!

Picture a custard slice of epic proportions that fills a white side plate with a marble patttern from edge to edge!
The plate sits next to mug of coffee, with a cat motif, on placement decorated with whimsical drawings of insects in small yellow squares with a broad green border. This in turn sits on a small wooden table.

Wednesday screeched to a halt outside this morning, narrowly avoiding hitting Thursday!

A bright sunny start right up to the point where I went out to hang the towels out when it promptly clouded over & we got a light rain shower!

Will have another go in a few, after I’ve finished my coffee.

Another quiet day in store.

I moved one of my LED strip lights earlier today - gonna test it later - I hope it will have the same effect that’s described in tonight’s quote but I suspect I’m going to disappointed! :-

“Beams of blue light lanced out into the corridor, moving and dancing as indistinct shapes shuffled through the blinding brilliance inside the room. The light was misty and actinic, the sort of light to make Steven Spielberg reach for his copyright lawyer.”
― Terry Pratchett, Equal Rites

Tuesday has ambled in looking tanned & carrying a deckchair.

Nice & sunny this morning with the promise of a mostly fine day from the Weather Witches.

My Mum (may she be resting in peace) was a great one for the folding of the arms to indicate her disapproval, it was the opening salvo - one really knew one was in trouble when this escalated to the use of the ‘Full Name’ I have a a middle name that I’m sure my parents added solely to use as form of psychological warfare! If it got to the “if so & so stuck their head in the oven…’ then ones end was definitely a whole lot nigher!

“She folded her arms and then shouted, "Right you thieving scunners! How dare you steal Miss Treason's funeral meats!"

"Oh, waily, waily, it's the foldin' o' the arms, the foooldin' o' the aaaarmss!" cried Daft Wullie, dropping to the ground and trying to cover himself with leaves. Around him Feegles started to wail and cower and Big Yan began to bang his head on the rear wall of the dairy.”

Picture a squirrel with a full body cybernetic upgrade, just the head is normal.
The cybersquirrel is standing in a futuristic space settlement, the details are mostly blurred out, but a planet that fills the sky is shown in fine detail.

The caption reads: “ROBOMAJ”

Many thanks to @amiserabilist@beige.party for this.

A patron at the seed pile decided to relax after a meal of sunflower seeds and peanuts. Normally, I like my customers to have an enjoyable time at the bistro, but the squirrel's decision to sploot in the shade on the table was causing some frustration with the blue jays, who wanted a turn while there were still peanuts available. #SquirrelsOfMastodon #BirdsOfMastodon #SunflowerSeeds #Peanuts #Sploot
