Some kind of perpetually exhausted pigeon. Probably the wrong temperature.

Reminds be a little of this chap I found in Bournemouth recently. I don't think either of these sculptors have a season ticket to the zoo do they?
A sculpture of a lion. He is lying down and looks like he is trying to remember if he left the gas on. Or maybe he is listening to the news on the radio and something worrying has happened?

About 10 mins ago I fed this cat. Don't fall for her nonsense. #cat
Moira, a tabby cat is staring at me with that face which means she wants something. The next step in her communicative behaviour will be to bite my ankles. She sits on a grey rug covered in purple butterflies. The room is very messy and could do with a hoover.

I found this in the Chinese supermarket earlier. I didn't know this was an option, but now I do! (It's lovely!) #carrotpickle
A jar of carrot pickle sitting on my wooden kitchen side. Behind it there is a whole lot of kitchen mess.

Taking photos at gigs with a shitty camera phone is hard. But not as hard as getting up in the morning and making sure everyone goes to school 🤣. Cat Empire were amazing as always. And I might be a Lowdown Brass Band convert. #thecatempire #lowdownbrassband
A photo zoomed in on just 2 members of the cat empire. Felix is on the right of the picture, playing the guitar and looking at Lazaro who is playing his trumpet. Felix is all in black, while Lazaro is wearing a orange patterned shirt.

I remembered I am the adult here and I make the rules.
A blue bowl full of mixed fruit crumble (mostly apple, but a few gooseberries and red berries are lurking in there too) and some raspberry ripple ice cream to go with it.

Not bum related, but I particularly liked these sculptures too. Sadly I didn't manage to find out anything about them. So posting here before bed mostly to remind me to Google tomorrow!
Another greek figure, fully dressed in her chiton. There seems to be a broken lamp next to her. She is holding a knife and looks despairingly at the ground, like a mum who has just discovered the chaos wrought by an unattended toddler... I imagine her real story is far more dramatic but again I can't remember who she must be portraying. This sculpture was in the section of Indian art, although I wonder if she is African in origin? Head, shoulders & chest of a woman looking into the distance Her short braids are captured in perfect detail and she wears a gold earring.

Visited Osbourne House today. No huge bum availability but I found these 3 on the terrace garden for you @museumbums.bsky.social
A fine bum with canine companion, fashioned in what I assume is black marble but I could be wrong. A female bum this time. This one was chained on a rock. Memory fails me which Greek mythological figure this must be. Another female bum dashed in the same stone. She looks to the left and her hands are out of view in front of her almost as if she is playing golf. I don't think I walked round the front of her so can't remember what she is doing, but I am pretty sure it isn't golf.

Now to see if I managed to pre-order it twice by mistake.... Moira wants me to read it to her. #cats
Moira, a tabby cat sits looking directly at the camera. She is sitting on a floor that needs hoovering and next to a pile of clothes that need putting away and a birthday presents. We don't tidy for social media in my house.

@rjbarker.bsky.social is this officially out yet or are Waterstones getting carried away again? Either way, it's here! #wyrdwood
The front cover of Heart of the Wyrd Wood by RJ Barker. The title is in green with some tree bark textured faces in the background. SFX say "an experienced novelist at the top of his game...five stars" at the bottom.

Husband made a herb bed. I have liberally thrown in a variety of seeds of varying levels of antiquity. No labels. Now we play the waiting game. Think germinating thoughts for me! #garden
A large planter made of wood. It is full of compost but no plants yet. In the background is a veg patch full of weeds because this is basically the first gardening I have managed so far this year. Various brightly coloured trugs lie abandoned across the garden.

Saturday nights are alright for.... Assembling cheap temu not-lego? While making moderate use of the blue inhaler. Aren't chest infections fun. #saturday
In the foreground is a half assembled "Lego" flower vase set on a tray surrounded by not-yet-assembled pieces. In the background is my messy living room. No tidying up for picture perfect social media fakeness for me.

We have reached the "we can put some things (but not everything) stage of kitchen construction. Today's project is reducing the chaos in the rest of the house somewhat. Whist editing to only put away the things someone has used in the last 5 years.... #diyhell #worthitwhenitsfinished
A kitchen cupboard filled with glasses, mugs and various hot drink making things. Also a Santa biscuit barrel stashed right on the top shelf because we don't need him for a while.

Thanks Duo... Would never have worked this out on my own.
A screenshot from Duolingo. Lin says the antivirus destroys the virus. The answer is missing only one word. El BLANK destruye el virus. The blank word was antivirus. I got the answer right.

This cat has the zoomies. It's very important she knocks everything on the floor. While mowing. #cat
Out of focus picture of a tabby cat in motion. She has her front paws up against the wall. There was a shadow. It needed to be caught.

I have things to do (most pressing - stretch, food and coffee) but Moira said rest. So I am doing that instead. Cats are wise. #cats
A tabby cat sits on my chest. It is an extreme close up so not much else is visible but you can just about see I am wearing a tshirt will dinosaurs on. And in the background is lots of things that are normally in my kitchen. As I say. Things to do!

Day 937 of no kitchen. Eating the leftover poppadom from last night's Indian takeaway for breakfast while it's still good. Breakfast of champions!
A white plate with some mango chutney and broken bits of a poppadom on it. Some onion salad is there too mostly hiding beneath the poppadom.

If you see this, post a pic from your device without explanation.
An open sewing box full of an embarrassing tangle of ribbons and threads. A big pair of orange handled fabric scissors sits on top. The box is sat on a very colourful carpet. Next to the box is a comfy purple old lady slipper.

Moira says happy Caturday Bluesky peeps. #cat
A tabby cat sits upright staring directly at the camera like she wants something. She is sitting on a sofa next to a whole bunch of mess. There is more mess on the floor in the background. We don't tidy up for fake social media perfection here.

Post a female character that you love.
Nanny Ogg, an elderly woman, is sitting on a yellow high backed arm chair. There are party streamers on the back of the chair and she has some mistletoe attached to her cleavage. She is wearing a purple paper crown. In one hand she holds a pint of beer which is going to spill over the side any moment if she isn't careful. In the other hand she holds a cigar. Her cat Greebo sits on her lap glaring at the viewer. Nanny has a massive grin on her face and looks to be having a whale of a time.

We went to see Medieval Women in the Own Words at the British Library, lunch and wandering around Oxford street and the surrounding area, then Camden. Not many photos but evidence of why my feet hurt. #BritishLibrary #halftermfun
Izzy is facing away from the camera taking photos at the top of some stairs. In front of/below her is the canal at Camden. You can see some warehouse type buildings the other side of the canal and the sky is actually blue! A screenshot of my fitbit. I have done 21650 steps. (I also walked 14.52 km, burned 2511 calories and it says I got 7h 15m of sleep last night but I don't believe it.)

I am normally more of a cat poster than fish but today we went to the Oceanareum in Bournemouth and it was awesome. #aquarium #fish #halftermfun
A variety of fish swimming in a tank - some are yellow, some more beige coloured. I didn't remember to note down what kind of fish. Some sea anemones all lit up with a black light. A happy sea turtle swimming in a pool. He was massive!
