Pasta. Granddaughter’s chair. Crowned by the toy. King Pasta.
Grey cat, looking furious, having taken over a child’s bouncy chair. My granddaughter’s bouncy chair, naughty cat. He’s called Pasta.

Whenever I see your Lucy posts, I think of my Fly, who died in January (old lady), and she also Loved That Walk round our neighbourhood.
An old black dog with a grey muzzle and grey paws, sitting in the sunlight on an orange and green chair. My old dog, Fly, my best dog. She died in January, aged 16. A long life, well lived and well loved.

Just got this one too. Even more nonsensical than the previous one.

Searching for an 8 letter capital city, I turn to Google …

Such bollocks.
Screenshot of a Google AI search result, telling me there are no capital cities of 8 letters in length. Which is nonsense, there are loads of them.

My onions looking pretty good. Show in two weeks. #onions
Five big onions. Looking good, I think. Kelsae variety. Grown specifically for a show on Bank Holiday Monday.

Sister-in-law’s attempt to get anywhere near using all her apricots. Herculean task.

Yes. But also mum took us to see it, and we came back with a set of place mats with bits of it on. I still have them, and at our pre-Christmas dinner with siblings, we take turns reading out our mat. Hilarity ensues.
A place mat with a bit of the Bayeux Tapestry on it. The captions say “7. William raises his visor to refute the word that he has been killed. Mace in hand, Odier, Bishop of Bayeux, rallies the Norman knights.”

I once won a cup for sweet peas I’d grown in my sister’s garden.
A bunch of white sweet peas in a green vase, with a red First Prize certificate and a notification that the entry had won the cup for best sweet peas.

They have also named some of the nearby roads and lanes after Americans killed in action n or around D-Day. I found this incredibly moving.
Road sign in Normandy, commemorating the death of Private Carter on June 6th 1944. It’s in one of the lanes around Omaha Beach.

A small road sign, commemorating the death of Private TH Carter on June 6th 1944. It is just one of many roads around Omaha Beach memorialising the Americans who died on D-Day.

This is Pasta, a slinky grey cat lying on top of an orange towel on a towel rail.

My daughter’s very furious cat who came to live with us. Pasta. A sweet and scaredy boy, despite his expression.

Went for a ride! Pulled the cord, jumped off the platform before the stop, just like the old days. Fantastic.

This dog enjoyed the choir very much at this morning’s Sung Eucharist at Selby Abbey. I was a tourist, he was obviously a seasoned service-goer.
A fluffy black dog, sitting very happily on a chair at a service in the most magnificent setting of Selby Abbey in Yorkshire. He is looking directly at my camera, not at the altar or the choir.

Another triumph for Google’s AI. #ShittyAI

We had a dog like that. This was her favourite game: put the ball somewhere so you HAD to pick it up and throw.

Another great result from Google. Thank you, AI. Complete rubbish.

A Google search yesterday
Screenshot of a Google search to find an American state with 11 letters. The AI answer is that there are no American states with 11 letters; World Population Review says there are 5 US states of 11 letters.

Not via Grok, but a Google search this morning:
This is a screenshot of a a search I did this morning to check 11 letter US states for a crossword. Google’s AI result says there are none; World Population Review shows that there are in fact 5.
