Possibly a selkie, dodgy sinuses, maker of stuff, problem solving, always tired mum and policy wonk. Strong tea.
I think I've got my #sourdough mojo back.
This new starter was stubborn to get going, quite acidic for a while, but we got there!

Out for a walk with the wee one, spotted this great hulking tree stump to climb on, noticed its clinging onto life with new sprouts at the base.
It was this Goliath of a Beech, not dead yet...

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

I sometimes wonder how quickly the world would fall apart if perimenopausal women just said - nope, I'm not doing that.

Language matters. Asylum seekers live in appalling conditions but the buildings are described as "hotels". Members of the Royal family live a life of luxury and privilege but their homes are often called "cottage" or "lodge". Why not just describe things accurately?

Found an excuse to rewatch Slow Horses, now that my son is old enough. Just finished series 1 with him - and he's totally hooked!

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

Highland beef from our local farmer went down very well in these layered tortilla skewers tonight. They're quite tricky to make, but it's a satisfying process and not a scrap was left. 😋

Watch this.
Open your eyes to this brutality.
ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.
Now share this.
Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.
You have power.
Even sharing this video exerts that power.

My god Slow Horses is brilliant. So many proper snorting laugh out loud moments, so many excruciating Roddy lines. It's just too short.

Tried the viral Clotted cream roast potatoes tonight. Surprisingly they worked, but honestly, if you've any other kind of cooking oil/fat use it. They worked and the little hand yoinking one from the CCream bowl proves they were tasty enough, not as good as veg oil or beef etc.

Started watching The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey last night with our 14yo son. Only 2 episodes in and it's quite something. Apple TV has a knack for this.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.
