No, you #BeKind, I’m done. Done, I tell you!
Such a gorgeous sunny spring day today!
This is the woodland that my house sits in.

The RAF is playing silly buggers in MY patch of sky. Fun at first but they’ve been at it for an hour.
(It may not be anywhere near “my” patch of sky, I’m equidistant between Exmoor and Dartmoor which is where they often play their games, and I can’t actually see them.)

Just saw two hounds running around my garden.
Can’t hear the rest of the hunt yet but both my cats have raced indoors and up the stairs to safety.
Hope the fox has somewhere s/he can hide.

Last night I finally got round to putting our new heated mattress topper on the bed (just as the cold weather turned mild of course) - OMG, it was gorgeous, like someone had put me back inside the womb.
Can’t WAIT to go to bed tonight!

Beyond a shadow of a doubt that England is in its biggest Covid wave for well over a year now, with latest ONS infection survey results published.
An estimated 4.3% of people infected in England as of last week (6% in London!)

With scarcely a voice being raised against it, we are sliding into a police state, in which an entirely peaceful protester, trying to prevent a societal catastrophe, can get six months in jail for marching slowly down the road.

My dog has just vomited up his breakfast (looks like a piece of kitchen towel in there), was halfway through eating it all back up again when the cat came in with a critter, so he mugged her for the critter, ate it, then went back to eating his puke.
Dogs are gross, but they save some cleaning up.
