Read an article? In this day and age?! 😱
Still image from Star Trek 4 The Voyage Home showing Scotty holding up the mouse of a 1980s computer as though it were a voice control interface. Text at the bottom of the image reads How Quaint.

The badgers have been digging for buried treasure outside my front door.
A path by a step. There is ivy on the path, and several holes have been scraped in the ground.

Black swans are such graceful and charming creatu… oh.
A black swan stretches its neck back behind it whilst expelling something from its beak. In the foreground a coot is too polite to look.

I took slightly more than this many photos in my attempt to get a half decent one! I fail at photography. 😳
A screenshot of a selection of photos in the camera roll app. All the photos are of a spider suspended over an oxeye daisy. The spider is not always central in all of them because it was very windy.

I have long wanted to see a crab spider, and have never had any luck. But… Last June I saw this in an Oxeye daisy patch growing beside the drive. I wasn’t sure because a) it’s upside down, and b) it was very windy and the flower kept waving about.
So what I want to know is: is it a crab spider? 🤞🙏

Sunrise. The view from the bathroom this morning. 😊
A landscape in silhouette with a large, bare-branched tree. The sun is rising behind the tree, giving a golden glow to the sky.

My “home from home”. Love this place! 🧗😊
The main area of an indoor climbing gym, taken from a high viewpoint. On the left the top section of the comp wall is visible. Ahead is a floor area with an artificial sea stack towards the back. Behind it, more climbing walls. A few climbers are scattered about.

Let’s pretend it’s July 11th instead of January 11th. Please enjoy a black kite.
A black kite in flight, seen from halfway between the front and the left side, with wings outstretched and slightly curved, and the tail angled to control flight.

These are the world’s most ridiculous slippers and I love them!

I can only screenshot here but the video is 6 seconds of pure mood-lifting joy!
A person at the bottom of an escalator, about to step off onto a white floor. Only their lower half is visible, wearing a cream skirt or dress. Grey sleeves can be seen above their hands. They are wearing the world’s silliest slippers consisting of green cartoon style crocodile heads with goggle eyes and mouths that flap open and closed as they walk. The slipper on the left is closed, showing the eyes on top. The slipper on the right is wide open showing a red lined mouth edged with white fabric teeth. The slippers are extremely ridiculous and extremely cute. A person on a white floor walking towards us, the foot on the right of the picture further forward than the foot on left. They have just walked off the bottom of an escalator. Only their lower half is visible, wearing a cream skirt or dress. They are wearing the world’s silliest slippers consisting of green cartoon style crocodile heads with goggle eyes and mouths that flap open and closed as they walk. The slipper on the left is flapped half open, showing a red lined mouth edged with white fabric teeth. The slipper on the right has its mouth closed showing the eyes on top. The slippers are extremely ridiculous and extremely cute.

Er ner. Sner.
A view out of a window. In the foreground are some bushes and a few spindly cherry tree saplings. Behind them is a road, and on the other side of the road are some tiled houses. Everything is covered in a light dusting of snow.

It’s a bit embarrassing 😳, but this sorry object is a much-loved but also much-neglected fern that lived in the bathroom. I’m going to see if I can rescue it. Wish me luck! 🤞
A much-neglected Asplenium fern with some dry, curled green leaves covered in thick dust and many brown, dead leaves. It sits on a white-tiled kitchen floor.

My new door security. Got all up in my face until we reached an understanding. *I* walk around *him*. 👀
