Warning, Sunday's are the day when I lift all restrictions on restraint in my posts!
I thought it is time to post something else I made, as it's Saturday. this is a secret Santa present I made for a colleague. It cost less than the £10 limit, as I basically gave her a stick I found, but I was very proud of it.

Today’s adventure was mostly about magnificent chedis and the amazing sukhotai era. That and getting both sunburnt and caught in a tropical storm

Taking my mother out for a meal to celebrate her 92nd birthday.
Nice pub, nice food, but I'm in shock that no Essex taxi drivers work on Sunday and it took 50 minutes for Uber to get a driver there- and not at all for the way backM

Lunch with my mother for her 92nd birthday. She’s not grumpy, just a stiff neck!

Finding a framework & opportunity to do this seems like the first serious thing a PM has done since it became a stated policy intention in 2014. But just look at all the pearl clutching going on because it's Starmer, not Johnson, Truss, May, Cameron & Clegg or Sunak that has done it.

Every so often I get sad and look back at some pictures to make me feel better. Miss you Myncz.

2014 & 2021 from Commons library.
Don't people realise this is already policy, just that nobody has pulled the trigger on it. Is everyone just going to bash the govt no matter what- he's the only one of at least 6 PMs that could have done it. It's impossible to move for anti-Starmer trolls here.

Happy Caturday!

It's a great word, My dad used to take us on sailing holidays, & only hired boats with no engine. The 1st is a Thames Wherry, used as a ferry across the river, the 2nd, bigger one is a Norfolk Wherry, I remember these more, as I learned to sail on the Norfolk Broads, & you can hire them for holidays

You're writing like it was real.
Screen-grab below of Trump telling a fan he wants to remembered for having saved America.
Perhaps he is Superman. Or just a fraud.

I have an almost completely tiled bathroom with no windows.

Strangely, despite continually vetoing everything, Russia has managed to do more to unite more nations than the actual UN has, at least as far as Ukraine is concerned.
The disUnited States seems to be the only thing they've been successful ripping apart recently.

Challenging to get a really satisfying shot that showed both detail and brilliance. (As in shine, not mine!)

Myncz, my beautiful, loving warrior princess.

May 2012-April 2025.

Rest in peace little one.
Take all my love with you, you always knew you had my heart
May 2, 2025 at 1:37 PM
In the end she made her own mind up. We said a cone farewell before she went peacefully to sleep.

Myncz. May 2012-April 2025
my beautiful warrior princess,
Rest in peace little one, I know you always knew you were loved. Take that with you on your journey. I’ll miss you so so much. ❤️❤️💔

I have to make the hardest decision I've ever made today as well, so sending you thoughts and support
May 2, 2025 at 2:20 AM
Photos I've been posting of Myncz are getting sadder, & later today, (as I'm still up crying at 3AM), I'll have to make the hardest decision I've ever made. She couldn't see me or anything else at the hospital tonight with those big, beautiful eyes.
This is what best buddies for life looks like.

Best friends and Sparring partners from birth. Not looking good now I'm afraid
May 1, 2025 at 11:12 PM
Feeling very miserable (both of us) but seemed more relaxed after a long visit. Still tearing the staff to pieces when they try to manhandle her apparently
April 30, 2025 at 9:05 PM
I thought I'd post another one of Myncz, just because I keep thinking of her and hoping she's not scared or freaked out.
