Stretch that belly!

Elvis 🦎🥰

Elvis, yellow crested gecko, reaching to move between plants in his vivarium. His belly is stretching, his body shaped a bit like the letter U. As well as plants leaves around him, we can see a bit of vine to the left & the mesh ceiling of his viv.

2 yrs ago today, our big bobbing boy died. Karl was extraordinary. We know how lucky we were to be with him. He came in my dreams last night, he does sometimes.
We still miss you angel boy. 🐉💕

Video: Karl bobbing on the windowsill (put sound out, weird audio can't remember).

Look at his lashes all down 😍🦎🥰

I made a mistake & got this Withings smart BP monitor on ebay, but it's only for IOS. I don't have any of those.
I paid £16.13. Would any of you in the UK need this? It looks in good order but I can't use it. I'd send it for £15 to make it round.
A withings bp connect with IOS cable, stood on the carpet. Withings bp monitor box. It shows the monitor with an I-phone next to it. Text says "the smart blood pressure monitor" and in French "le tensiomètre intelligent".

This is Salami.
He was looking at us from the hospital shop (they managed to reschedule after Covid, yeah!). A dragon Squishmallow, of course be came home. 😉
Nothing wrong with my liver/gallbladder.
No idea what the pain is, I'll get used to it. See if GP wants to talk when he gets the results.
Squishmallow named Salami. A roundish squishy toy looking like red a dragon. Salami has black eyes, a red nose with 2 white fangs coming under it. He has small ears and wings on that have shiny red fabric in the inside. The same fabric in in his belly. He has 2 black horns and we can see the top of his black spine scales.

TW: weight loss jab

Just got this text from my GP surgery.
In case you need to know.
#WeightLossJab #Tirzepatide
nhsscotland 12:00, 13 Jun To all female patients, we are aware of increased use of weight loss drugs obtained privately. There can be interactions with these drugs and other medications. In particular Tirzepatide (mounjaro) which can affect oral contraceptives, making them less effective. It is recommended to use additional contraception for 4 weeks after starting and after every dose change. These medications are also not recommended for pregnant or breast feeding women. Please contact your prescriber to discuss further. Kind Regards Medical Practice

For the crows lovers.
A jackdaw at bird feeders hung on shed wall. 2 carbon crows on the grassy ground. We can see the corner of a shed next to them, a bit of a chair in front of them and a bit of washing line.

Young starlings discovered our feeders. Starlings rarely come to our garden, they pass by. So happy the babies (not quite) decided to pop by.
5 juvenile starlings on a washing line. 3 of them on the left seem piled on each other as they use the washing pole to sit. 4 juvenile starlings on bird feeders hung on shed wall. 3 juvenile starlings on shed roof. 2 of them sitting down.

Earlier, was about to get this angel (fast asnooze in pic) out for cuddles but saw a 💩, so took it out. But Elvis jumped on my hand "cuddle time"!
I put him back in... that was betrayal. When I came back for him, he wasn't sure anymore, turned his head slowly at me as in "now?" Precious 😇🦎🧡

Here are some birdie pics. I took the great tits ones from the window.
The blue tits ones are from the other day in the garden. One pic when coming out of the nest box. 🥰
A great tit on tree branches. The tree is in full leaves. 2 great tits. One facing away from the camera, sitting on a wooden fence. One taking flight towards the camera. A blue tit on a tree branch. The tree is in full leaves. A blue tit coming out of a nest box. We can only see its head. The nest box is amongst vine leaves.

Pretty much says it all. Still no education for medics/social care. Still no funds for research. Still no treatment. Still people being harmed by systems supposed to help.

Karl's peppermint flowered.
For those who didn't know me before, Karl loved peppermint, so we always have it on the windowsill. This was his he used to eat from this plant but it had never flowered.

The one for his grave are growing but not ready to go out (last years died).

Things are getting to me now.
Wanted to show you this pomponette daisy. It was planted when we buried Karl (September 2023) & has its 1st flower now 😊.
Karl likes it (when I say goodnight from the window, I see him smiling over it).
This flower is made of love.

Because we all need to see gorgeous beings that make things worth it. Here's a picture of Elvis. Look at that face saying "mum, I waits, hurrys up now, cuddle time".
#Herp 🧡🦎🥰
Elvis, a yellow crested gecko surrounded by leaves in his vivarium. His face looks intent (he was waiting to come out for cuddles). He looks straight at the camera.

With alt text.
Info on Zelensky & the war in Ukraine.
T*ump tells lies after lies. Facts need to be shared too.
The facts. Rihards Kols @RihardsKols Follow The facts. Zelenskyy's approval rating is 57% Russia launched a full scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, at 4.00 a.m. crime of aggression committing a Total Military & Non-Military Assistance from US to Ukraine: $118 billion Total Military & Non-Military Assistance from the EU to Ukraine: $151 billion Zelenskyy is the democratically elected President of Ukraine Ukrainian constitution does not allow to hold national elections while martial law is in effect. And, in my humble opinion, Zelenskyy was a rather good comedian, with a law degree, and an incredibly strong leader of Ukraine.

Elvis exists. He's alive in the world & I'm lucky to have him. That'd be enough.
On top of that, he wants me around. It took 7 yrs but since then he really trusts me, we have daily cuddles (at least in the evening), he often runs/jumps on me when I open his doors.
How amazing is that? 🦎 #Herp
Elvis, yellow crested gecko is sticking to the glass door of his vivarium. He's looking at the camera. Behind him we can see plants in his viv.

@kirsties.bsky.social there you go, Elvis to the rescue, popping his head out to say hi.
And for anyone who needs to wash their eyes & souls from the fascists horrors around.
He's the light of my life, he doesn't mind sharing.

He's doing will thank you, appreciate you asking.
There he is, popping up earlier. He was climbing stealthily (or so he thought) but I waited & took the pic when he got in view.
