Mostly haiku, but I also dabble in cats, flowers, pretty things, and probably accounting.
"There is no need for the whole universe to take up arms to crush [man]: a vapour, a drop of water is enough to kill him. But even if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler, because he knows he is dying and the advantage the universe has over him. The universe knows none of this."

Book Lovers of Bluesky: Is your bookstore ethical? Ethical Consumer (UK) has released their list of most ethical book retailers. Surprise surprise, Amazon (and AbeBooks) is at the bottom of the list.
Buy local, independent.

Headline: Out of the darkness two fighter jets emerge: Watch as Sky News joins NATO

Text: Out of the darkness, flashing bars of red and blue, followed by the black, avian-like forms of two Typhoon fighter jets, emerge and glide side-long towards our plane.

In other news, muscari are coming up nicely, the hyacinth in the basket is blooming, and there are a few daffodils and narcissus blooming.

At the bus stop, there's a poster for the new Minecraft movie. Two little black girls are pointing at the sheep and dog and arguing over who wants to be Danielle Brooks.

Meanwhile, the rebellious young cherry tree has again been first of them to bloom. It's really in the wrong spot and will cause problems once it's older, but I can enjoy its #blossoms for now, already littering the pavement.

In other #Flower news, the cyclamen we transplanted from the base of the cherry tree to against the wall (where the skull is) have done magnificently. The ones under the tree have grown back nicely and the transplanted ones have naturalised.

The crocuses are blooming happily! I think I might have to divide the ones under trees as they are quite small and close together.

Highly recommend “Invisible Kitties” by Yu Yoyo. Poetic surreal observations and dreams of #cats.
