I have no faith what so ever in Trump & his team doing the right thing by Ukraine. The Cold War is over & Putin beat Trump! Trump plays Ludo, while Putin plays chess. What an idiot! I have a huge dislike of Trump. The most evil man, next to Putin. It's all about money, stuff people's lives.😡

Why is the Independence movement in Scotland not highlighting the benefits of being on the borders in an independent Scotland? The Dutch see the benefits, even as EU member state.

I'm poorly with flu, so doing a bit of Netflix-ing. I enjoyed this Spanish series from Galicia:
Old Dog, New Tricks - it's about a vet who ends up working in a pet shop to make ends meet. Very funny, but series moments too.

This makes me more than uncomfortable.👇 What does it take for people in the USA to see Trump for what he is: a Russia & Putin supporter!
😳😳😳 Europe better be prepared for what is to come. 😢🙏🕊️🙏

The brambles are plentiful, so I've made some Bramble Chutney. Thanks to a kind person here on bluesky, I managed to give it a try.
Now I have two jars, one with bramble jelly and one with chutney, ready for the yearly Flower Show. A bit of fun, I don't expect to win at all.

The US President Trump doesn't know how to play Ludo, never mind playing chess with a highly trained ex-KGB soldier and war criminal Putin. Outflanked, outmanoeuvred and made to look like the utter fool he is. What an utter disgrace! Poor Ukraine, having to sit & watch it all unfold. 😢💔
