My face when I read about a local organisation struggling for volunteers when they didn't reply to any of my emails offering to help...

Youngest bairn is 20 today.

Happy birthday Georgina!

Did someone beat me to it or is the conservation village extraordinarily tidy today?!

Surprisingly tidy.

After a headache that lasted most of the day, and nursing various poorly creatures, I am now having A BED PICNIC.

I have red wine and lots of chocolate and I might have some cheese.

On the bright side, Chester likes his stroller and I am officially a crazy cat lady.

A lovely person has sent Chester a bundle of toys and treats.

He's having a great time. I haven't seen him this lively since the horrible thing.

Thank you so much whoever you are. 🧡

If my belly looks bigger than usual it's because a scaredy cat is taking refuge inside my jacket.

An email from ASOS informs me that the cut off time for next day deliveries has changed from 7pm to 9pm, you know, just in case I have an urgent need for an embellished metal look cage cut work maxi dress in dark green...🙄

I've seen 'Sorry We Missed You' - the gig economy is shit.
