Brandy the Shetland pony doing her morning Top Gun impersonation; but more "I feel the need, the need for feed" than "... speed". 😁

Brandy can't stay out with the other two ponies in the far paddock, as that would be too much grass for her, so hence the morning releases / escapes at present.

Brandy the #ShetlandPony behaving like the breed stereotype by standing out in the pouring rain at the #smallholdingdream when there is an empty dry stable full of nice hay ... 🤦‍♂️🤣

TTT Week 096 - First Age Friday: I Should Slay Him

Thankfully, nothing to do with The Man of the West in this title: just acknowledgement that Voronwë has put his old friend in a hard spot as we continue our readings in Of Tuor and His Coming to Gondolin. youtu.be/K6pf_6EskCo

#AlfietheBeagle has discovered that there are snacks in the ponies' feed tubs .... 🥕🤦‍♂️

@drlindadykes.bsky.social has finally accepted the inevitable.

Just as I did when we met Alfie in Beagle four weeks ago this afternoon. 🤣

Have arrived in Oxford, and loved the warm welcome from the porters at @stannescollege.bsky.social where #Oxonmoot is happening till Sunday.

Very impressed with the accommodation, and have unpacked my @prancingponypod.bsky.social essentials. Now to register, and then a tour of Oxford.

A very revealing podcast about an era of British politics which I've now realised I knew little about but which had such a big impact on 'modern society'.

Also available on other podcast platforms if you're outside the UK.
