Text reads: Your bird of the day. Redwing. Underneath are four smaller images of a Eurasian Blackbird, European Robin, Eurasian Wren and the Redwing again.

Beautiful light this morning. Tried to get a shot of this squirrel but he wasn't having any of it.

My dear old Dad was a mechanic for Courages (as we call it in Bristol) and at some point he brought this beauty home. Would have sat on the roof of one of the rigs Dad looked after. I keep meaning to spray it gold again but I quite like it like this.

Any chance these changes will allow Bristol City Council to get this monstrosity pulled down at last?

Good to hear this from Wes Streeting today.
Text reads: "I trust doctors over President Trump, frankly, on this. Streeting explained: I’ve just got to be really clear about this: there is no evidence to link the use of paracetamol by pregnant women to autism in their children. None. In fact, a major study was done back in 2024 in Sweden, involving 2.4 million children, and it did not uphold those claims. So I would just say to people watching, don’t pay any attention whatsoever to what Donald Trump says about medicine. In fact, don’t take even take my word for it, as a politician – listen to British doctors, British scientists, the NHS. It’s really important that a time when you know there is scepticism – and I don’t think scepticism itself, asking questions is in itself a bad thing, by all means, ask questions – but we’ve got to follow medical science.

Good to hear you rolling out Popper's Paradox of Tolerance. It's basic boundary setting. You don't have to meet someone else's intolerance with the same energy. You don't have to be abusive just because they are. You just have to say no to it.

Time to roll this out ...
A cartoon strip titled The Paradox of Tolerance by philosopher Karl Popper. Text reads. Should a tolerant society tolerate intolerance? Image of a man with a skinhead haircut, holding a burning torch, and swastika on his shirt. His speaking to a couple challenging him, and says "You want more tolerance? Respect my ideas!" Text reads. The answer is NO. It's a paradox but unlimited tolerance can lead to the extinction of tolerance. When we extend tolerance to those who are openly intolerant ... Image of the Kaiser Wilhelm II saying, "Let's give them a chance." while standing next to Hitler. Text reads. ... the tolerant ones end up being destroyed, and tolerance with them. Image of a Hitler rally. Image of Hitler being kicked out but a leg wearing a black boot. Text reads. Any movement that preaches intolerance and persecution, must be outside of the law. Image of Karl Popper speaking. Text reads. As paradoxical as it may seem, defending tolerance requires not to tolerate the intolerant.

Today I fell out of the shower, hit my head on a luggage rack, had my rucksack fall on my head from said luggage rack and caught my shoulder on the handle of a window (aluminium, so sharp). Tonight I shall be sleeping at the top of these stairs. Wish me well.

Coffee in the garden. Swifts overhead, cackling magpies, and a blackbird singing it's heart out. Blissful.

More gorse! I absolutely love the wonderful coconutty smell of it. This is Crook Peak in Somerset last weekend.

I have a terrible feeling that this might be one of those pivotal points in history. This cannot be allowed. Appeasement never works. Boundaries must be set. #gaza

Thought I'd introduce these two reprobates. Both 13 years young and as adorable as the day they arrived. #catsofbluesky
