Um… so… when did wanting to stop Putin become a bad thing?
Like, shouldn't trying to persuade him not to go nuclear be a good thing?

Zack Polanski has just shown why no sane person will be voting Green share.google/9KUi6ag2NWdt...
A picture of the news from the Telegraph that popped up in my Google News Showcase (because apparently sharing the link restricts access to this??). The title of the article sits below a picture of the leader of the green party, Zack Polanski, and the title is: "Zack Polanski has just shown why no sane person will be voting Green" Below the title is the name of the journalist who wrote the piece, Michael Deacon. Below that is two bullet points of the highlights of the article: Bullet point 1. If this oddball thinks he can persuade Russia to ditch all nuclear weapons, he's evn more deluded than we thought. Bullet point 2. Read the article here. (The link to the article is in the post, not on this picture.)

Let the men read.
Let them. 📖 👀
A zoomed in cropped photo of the headline picture from the original post. The picture is zoomed in on the green book one of the men is reading, seemingly titled "Let Them".

A screenshot of a picture on Vinted, of someone holding a round, circular patch you can sew or iron into clothes, in one hand. The image on the patch is of a circular space ship, hovering in a blue sky above black shadowed trees. The words "I want to leave" are embroidered in white, capital letters inside the black silhouettes of the trees.

A decision was made this day.
Personally I would have chosen both book and chocolate 🍫 📚

A picture of a shelf of books in a shop with a 9 pack of of the chocolate Twirl sitting in front of them on the same shelf. The books from left to right: A particularly Nasty Case by Adam Kay, A book by Elizabeth Day (only the word of this books title can be seen. That word is "One" and can be seen poking out above the packet of Twirls), Paper Heart by Cecelia Ahern.

I tried making a cat pumpkin.
I think i made something else instead 🎃🤔🧐

Would adding a tale help it look more like a cat? Or would it make it look… even more weird?

It is kinda cute tho…

#KintUK #knitting #KnitSky #Halloween #Pumpkin #cat
A picture of an orange knitted pumpkin with a green stalk, two black bead eyes and orange, pointed, ears. The smile is sewn in black embroidery thread along with a small nose and whiskers in the fashion of a cat. But it looks… not quite cat-like… in my opinion. Would adding a tail help or make it look more like something out of a ghibli film?

A picture of a lady dressed up as the old woman from the Tweety and Sylvester cartoon. She is smiling and holding a cage with Tweety inside in her right (your left) hand and a stuffed toy of Sylvester the black and white cat in her left (your right) arm. It looks like she is at a comic con convention, possibly at the excel or a place like it. The words above the picture are "Cosplay isn't just for the young…"

Pumpkin 🎃 🎃 🎃

#UKknits #Knitting #Halloween #knittinglove #pumpkin
A picture of my first knitted pumpkin sitting on top of the haphazard pile of papers. The pumpkin is orange with a green stalk and has two small eyes and a wonky smile. The ball of orange wool it was knitted from can be seen peeking to the left of the frame and knitting needles, a tapestry needle and a purple overlay sits to the right of the pumpkin.

The headline is awful.
But it's nice he gets to live with his son now.
When you have no one else, you should get to live with your family, even if it means travelling to another country to do so.

This is very true.
A picture of the top left corner of the back cover to the book "The Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith. The the quote printed on this corner reads "There is no art which one government sooner learns than that of draining money from the pockets of the people."

More birds 🐦 🐦‍⬛

#UKwildlife #Birds #birdwatchers
A cormorant is sitting on the branch of a fallen tree over the water. It has its wings outstretched, and its beak pointed to the left of the frame. A little egret is standing on a half-sunken branch in a lake. Its white plumage is perfectly reflected in the near-still water. This great crested egret is swimming peacefully along the lake. A great heron sits in the middle of the water, submerged up to the top of its legs. It's a side profile, so the grey wings are facing the camera as the herons' beak points right.

Yes, Vinted, show me the things.
It is Halloween month.
I must have the things.
🧙‍♀️🎃👀😂

#Halloween #autumn #witches
A picture from the app, Vinted of a badge that can be sewn on. The badge is circular and had a white background. In the middle inside a round, black frame of branches, stand three women dressed in classic witch garb, holding hands beneath a murder of crows (yes that's what a group of crows is called) which are flying across the sky. On the outer rim of the badge, in bold, capitalised, black letters, are the words: God forbid women have hobbies.

This is quite possibly the coolest find I've come across on Vinted to date.
(No, I'm not checking my bank account to see if i can afford it. 👀🤫)

A picture of a 3-d printed bookend of Gondor from The Lord of the Rings, sitting snugly between some books on the shelf. It is very detailed and accurate (from what I remember of Gondor).

If i could describe how I feel with one emoji, it would be this:

#life #chronicpain
I am unsure how best to describe this emoji. It's a yellow face emoji. It looks done. Just… done, with everything. And has bags under its eyes.

Thought it might be cool to make a little albino bat. 🦇❤️
They're rare in the wild, and I never seem to see any bats that are albino, so I used the same pattern for my brown and black bats to make this one.

#bats #halloween #autumn
A picture of my little albino bat I knitted, complete with pink nose and mouth and grey safety eyes. His wings are wrapped around his body and are open at the front so you can see him smiling at the camera. (I didn't have red eyes that didn't look demonic on his small face, so I chose grey).

Midnight project over.
I think I have found the next pattern I'm going to make multiple toys in different colours of…

#handmade #knitting #BritishKnitter #knittinglove #UKknits
A picture of a brown knitted bat with black wings. It's closed eyes can be seen behind the tops of its wings which are closed against its small body. Another picture of the same brown bat but with wings spread open. Its tiny feet can now be seen as it sits on them and a crooked smile with small white fangs is also visible now.
