Look what my amazing husband bought for my birthday 💞 I’ve been obsessed with Great British Sewing Bee for months now - time to have a go myself. I’m quite scared of this machine, to be honest - just watched the instructions on YouTube, and I’m feeling a bit better 🤣

Well, I’m officially 43 years on the planet today (independently of my mother, lol). After learning about my AuDHD last year, I have to tell you, I’ve discovered more about myself in the past 18 months than the rest of my life combined. Onwards and upwards from here.

I have been consumed by my hyperfixation with singing on Smule. I'm sure normal service will resume at some point...

Good Morning BlueSky Folks,
here is a picture of a Japanese anemone Flower that I
Saw in my Neighbourhood
Captured on a iPhone 11
The picture shows a close-up of a white flower with five delicate petals, surrounding a bright yellow center filled with numerous stamens. The flower is attached to a thin green stem, and the background is blurred, featuring a mix of green leaves, brown soil, and scattered dry leaves, suggesting a natural outdoor setting. The focus is sharply on the flower, highlighting its soft texture and vibrant colors.

🌱 A fluffy bumble for #insectThursday. I am off to do a tour this morning. Although it will be cloudy, hopefully it will be dry.

Does anyone else tell themselves, “When things settle down, I’ll be able to spend more time on (insert activity here)”, but it’s just one thing after another, so you always feel like you’re recovering instead?

Dog number 2, the troublemaker, found an alternative way out. Now they’re relegated to the kitchen with supervised garden access, while I wait for more fencing to be delivered. Give me a fucking break, life, please!

Gracklepalooza continues with no signs of slowing!
This male Common Grackle was heading over to the tree nearer the creek. It always amazes me how birds fly among tree branches so easily!
