My life is dictated by by tiny animals.
If I stop posting, I am being held hostage.
Send seeb!
The seasonal garden assault is complete.

Fuck wisteria. Never again.

Is there anything better than foraging wild blackberries beside a beautiful lake, toes scrunched in the warm sun..... Bliss. I am so blessed to live this life.

Two years of training every day, and the birds still apparently don't understand "bedtime". But they learned what cheese was in a nanosecond... 🤔

Arnie gets it.

Over 200,000 people are on the jobseeker benefit. Even if we remove the 45% that have medical exemption, around 100,000 people looking for work. Seek has 17,500 listings. TradeMe has 10,000. Let's say that there is no overlap. That still leaves 75% of people unemployed...

The face of a cat that is already regretting her decision to walk out the cat door.

After finally breaking through the depression wall, I get a load of washing clean and hung out. And now there is a torrential rainstorm.

Typical.

The melanocetus (Black Devil Fish) that has been spotted swimming vertically out of the abyssal sea. The recording may be the first ever of the fish swimming in daylight.

All the feels.

"Unprecedented Starlink Re-Entries" - 120 burning up in the Earth's atmosphere in January alone, with evidence that the chemistry/composition of the upper atmosphere is changing as more satellites fall back to Earth.

...... They almost got it. So close they don't even realise it.

He's a recovering wallpaper chewer, he tells himself off now. 😂

The world is burning around us and all of the fire exits are locked.

We all deserve a little smile, as a treat.

Here is Arnie, attempting to seduce the old bottle of dishwashing liquid. I thought he may prefer the newer one, but I was wrong. He is nothing if not loyal

No chip is ever safe. He is always watching. Waiting.

First I got real couches and now I am finally putting art on my walls! Housing security trauma is very real, but I'm glad to be able to enjoy this space now.

And there was peace in all the land.... For about five minutes.

Foraging toys save my sanity.

Arnie is not ok because there is WIND outside and it ruffles his feathers. I tell him real birds are in the wind, but he thinks he is superior and should remain inside in his climate controlled environment.

The rays of sunlight have caught another victim.

Here is the cheapest bird toy I've ever bought.

Also today, Emil landed on my shoulder and said "I've set aside time for kisses ok?" 😍😍😍😍

Oh my heart.

The raggy old dishwashing liquid bottle has been Arnie's girlfriend for two years. Well, today I replaced her. But he only has eyes for his old girl.....

Tilda Swimton is fully recovered! Such a relief. Back to her usual sulky self.
January 21, 2025 at 10:40 PM
Tilda is recovering well from hole in the head. A full course of antibiotics and daily water changes helped so much. She will have the little dimple scar, but hopefully that's the only lingering effect.

On today's episode of Wild Woman Wrangling Tech... I blew up my PC.

Sigh.

Everytime I vacuum.... He must bathe.

Pretty sure Mark is secretly Snow White. He makes friends with all of the animals.
