French bulldog fanatic. Old lefty socialist, so now an ex-Labour voter. Voted Green, but looking forward to the new party. No Trump supporters. Scantily clad young women, just don’t bother following - although they still do ! Why ?

Well. If I disappear off here, again, someone definitely has it in for me. Something I replied has been marked as spam by the moderators. It’s something completely innocuous that I reply virtually every day to. This is quite ridiculous

A Labour Government telling people they should not protest about the murder of Palestinians. What have they become !?

Lovely walk yesterday, but hardly any birdsong. If only governments valued wildlife and the environment.

I love seeing and trying to identify butterflies, but moths..........not so much. However, to see this one this morning was just such beautiful symmetry

I was reminded this evening about this, which I had on my old Twitter account. Tony Benn inherited the title of Viscount Stansgate. He renounced his title and became a Labour MP. He was proper Labour, not fake like Starmer. Sadly missed.

Go Home Trump ! You are not wanted here. Scottish legend, Janey Godley RIP, spoke for most of us a few years ago.

I apologise to the World that a convicted felon and rapist has been allowed into the UK this evening. We have the right, as I understand it, to stop this - but we failed. A sad day in British history.

Apparently, in the UK we now have to verify our age in bluesky. They confirm that I'm an adult. This will be news to some people who are convinced that I'm just a big kid !

My neighbour has a total monopoly of birds visiting his garden, but I do get 2 Pied Wagtails coming in. Not a great picture as it is through a window. Bonnie's chewed plastic balls too.

29c in the UK, which is very hot for us. The paddling pool is upside down, but turn it over and put water in it, and she would ignore it or drink from it !
