I'm heartbroken to have lost my gorgeous boy Alfie very suddenly last night. Without any warning he went into some distress, likely a heart attack or stroke, and passed in under 10 minutes. He was 13 y/o and in great health.

It's only 2 months since his adoptive mum passed and week since Bumble 💔

The atmosphere on Bickerton Hill was pretty eerie yesterday with the persistent fog that had blanketed the region.

It felt good to go there and walk about for a bit to clear my head after being cooper up at home over the Christmas break.

I did not have the toppling of the Syrian regime on my bingo card for 2024 but okay.

I am so glad @rossandersen.bsky.social took the time to write this. It is a thorough and accurate summary of the @vrubinobs.bsky.social situation. I have MANY FEELINGS about each and every facet of said situation, let me tell you. This won't be the last you hear of "telescope vs crap in orbit" 🔭

I've spent 3 hours this evening playing RDR2 with my cat Alfie chilling on my lap. Life is good 😺

Not gonna lie, I really enjoyed Moana 2 and I think it's a great follow up to the first one.

It was nice to sit with my nieces in the cinema and enjoy it together 😊

My view of the end of Totality during the 8th of April 2024 solar eclipse. I was staying with a family friend in Lakeway, TX for this event as I had flown over from the UK to see this.

The forecast was hit and miss throughout the day but we were incredibly lucky to get a break in the clouds 🤩

She's comfortable here, unless I selfishly move my leg 0.5mm in any direction.

I'm back at work tomorrow to try and get to some kind of normality again. It'll be hard but being around others will hopefully take my mind off the loss of Bridget. 💔

Have Bridget in your hearts tonight. She was PTS today because she had reached the point where I couldn't, in my right mind, keep her going.

I'm absolutely devastated to have lost her. She was the most snuggly and affectionate cat you could ever meet and her absence is tearing a hole in my heart 💔

I'm pretty glum today after having to leave my elderly cat Bridget at the vets.

She's been refusing food for two days and has been bringing up yellow bile. The vets will be taking a full bloods profile, rehydrating her and performing a scan tomorrow on her abdomen.

Here's a photo I took at Fagradalsfjall in August 2022. I flew out 3 days after getting back from a family holiday in Greece whilst still suffering from the lingering effects of food poisoning (thanks to the hotel breakfast pancakes 🥞 🤢)

Totally worth it though 🌋

Here's a cat pic to add to the collection. Enjoy 😺
