Sod the cricket.
I put a bird feeder up this week & it’s just had a robin on it #TinyJoys
A robin sat on a tree branch, facing the camera so his orangey-red chest is clearly visible. The feeder is out of shot on a branch lower down. In the background behind the branches is a red brick house and a bit of white conservatory roof.

Briefly inspired to do a bit more work on my very long term #crochet project so I’ve had an hour or so sewing ends in.
A multi-coloured granny square crocheted blanket, spread out on a brown leather sofa. This is the front. It looks quite neat. The same multi-coloured crocheted granny square blanket but this time it’s the back. There are a lot of ends that need sewing in. Bits of it look like someone has dropped grey spaghetti on it (I’m using grey to join the squares together). There are a couple of areas that have been finished and look ok, but there is a big bit in the middle that, erm, doesn’t.

Absolutely slinging it down where I am. But we did get a rainbow earlier on, for a little while.

Being supervised while wfh #ProofOfCat
A black & brown striped tabby, lying on the top deck of her cat tree, looking at me. Late afternoon sun lighting the pale sage green wall behind her. In the background on the right is a wooden bookshelf, side on, with the shadow of the window frame on it.

Batch one complete @mspmeyer.bsky.social

There are only 5 because I’ve tested one 😋
Five large vaguely triangular chunky scones on baking paper on a cooling rack, lumps of pear and dark chocolate are visible in places

Tasha having an extended nap on my lap #Caturday
I’m going to have to move her because I have stuff to do (she’s been asleep on me in various positions for about 3 hours)
Quite close up photo of a brown tabby cat’s face, taken from my PoV as she sleeps on my lap. You can see up her nose a bit! She’s on her side, eyes tightly shut. The fur around her mouth is white, apart from a brown patch under her bottom lip. She is doing a tiny little blep as she sleeps.

Some twat posting a spoiler on the #Strictly feed. I politely requested that he didn’t.
Left it 5 mins.
And then blocked him.

FYI Strictly people who also don’t want spoilers.
Edited screenshot of @grantsrivers spoiler post to show why I blocked him. There’s no need to be a bonfire-pisser, fella.

Not the most inspired, but I’m full of cold & I can’t stand pumpkin innards so here is my “effort” for this year 🎃 #Halloween
A pumpkin on a black marbled work surface, lit from the inside. It has pointy eyebrows and small eyes (I used a metal straw so they are perfectly round), with a triangular nose - point at the top, base slightly curved upwards - and a smiling mouth with two fangs coming up from the bottom

Tree monster in a supermarket car park, approx 3 years ago. #Halloween
A tree in a car park at night. In the foreground are some parked cars. On the left is a streetlight. The tree is centrally placed. Its leaves are a rich dark orange, and there are two further streetlights glowing through the branches and leaves making it appear that the tree has glowing eyes. And they are not friendly!

Growing suspicion that the International Cat Redistribution System may be kicking in.
There’s a quite small scruffy-looking (but very cute) calico cat been hanging out under our garden table & chairs the last couple of days. It does have a collar but is very thin so obvs I have fed it. #ProofOfCat

Time to add to my unfinished project tally! #crochet

Tasha, sleeping on my legs as I read the latest HG Parry book #AFarBetterThing (which is excellent. The end of part1 had me properly sobbing).
Very glad I had no plans today. #Caturday #BookSky
Squishy cat face, with her front paw curled back on itself under her chin, as she sleeps on my outstretched legs. I am wearing grey joggers and my legs are crossed at the ankles.

Ch3 summoned me to get a “massive” #spider out of the bath. Ch3 does not like spiders, and is prone to exaggeration on their hugeness.
However this one was actually a decent size.
Photos: a spider in the corner of a white bath, plug hole for scale; and a close up taken using my phone magnifier 🕷️

At an orchestra rehearsal.
Music editors: don’t do this. This is fucking stupid and pointless. #ClefNonsense
An excerpt of an orchestral horn part. There are five bars of pointless bass clef where it would have been SO MUCH EASIER and more logical to leave it in treble clef like the rest of it. It’s not even low!

Haha permission granted!
A small girl in a pastel dress, with messy light-brown hair. She is wearing a pair of blue rubber-framed goggles. She wore them all day. She was “being a minion”.

That sounds like it needs medical treatment.
Or is maybe something you’d find on Goop.

About an hour ago we said goodbye to this adored little furry demon. She was so very, very loved. I will miss her immensely.

It has been done.
Hair being donated to the Little Princess Trust; the fundraiser is over half way there now! Thanks to all who have donated and reposted.
Here’s the after photos (more styling was done subsequently!)
A young man with shoulder length hair, sat in a hairdresser’s chair, holding up his chopped off tresses like a fisherman with a foot-long fish and smiling at the camera. He is wearing a long sleeved blue top and black jeans. A young man with shoulder length brown hair, sat in a hairdresser’s chair, dangling his cut-off locks from his hand and looking up slightly sceptically. He is wearing a grey t-shirt and jeans.

There will be “after” photos too
My younger son, photo from behind, of his very long brown hair. He is wearing a black t-shirt. My older son, photo from behind, of his (even longer than his brother’s) brown hair. He is wearing a grey t-shirt.

Ch4 has contributed.
The smiley watermelon is now a baked watermelon #kids
A watermelon that previously had a smiley face drawn on it, now has a, let’s say a cigar, hanging out of its mouth. There is cartoon smoke coming from the “cigar” and hehehehe is written underneath
