Why is it that in any opera, or indeed any Disney, the comic tenor and the alto are way better than the sop and tenor...

I've found the 1973 Doyly Carte HMS Pinafore which my grandad had on VHS! It's on YouTube now. The costumes are terrible and Dick Deadeye fails absolutely every EDI course going, but it's camp as Christmas and I love it.
Also John Reed, what a legend.

My friend's phone makes collages of the many photos she's taken of my cat. He is a very handsome model.

Parklife and a sleepy cat.

He hasn't been well and we feared we would lose him. We have a reprieve, for now. But it's made time with him even more precious.

And trees are cool. And sunsets. Need more of them!

A little autumn display to cheer up the house now the pumpkins have gone. Leaning into candles, warmth and seasonal flowers to embrace the darkness rather than fight it this year. 💚🌱
A bouquet of red, yellow and orange flowers in a terracotta vase stands in the centre of a white table. It is surrounded by a pumpkin shaped candle, a little bronze and an even littler orange cat, a terracotta tray of tea lights, a yellow bird pot with a jade plant, and a paper crane in white and orange. The same display as the left picture, lit up with candles. To the left is a white marble effect fireplace which also has two lit candles and several ornaments. It is topped with a wicker heart. The wall behind it is a pale grey-brown.

Choose your fighter:
-mysterious rook who has a quest for you but you have to follow it for miles and pay it with shiny pebbles
-goose Paladin, Defender of the Order of the Bread. You must join it in taking down anti-carb warriors.
-Wood Pigeon Barbarian who is RAGE. RA- oh look, some seeds!

Double rainbow over Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetland Trust centre today!
Beautiful first day of November in nature with my family. Feel very lucky.

Why yes I am tired, why do you ask?
Took myself for a walk in Cardiff Bay this morning. Nice and blustery and cold! I love being by the water and away from people and noise. It lets me settle and my emotions come to the surface. Learning to work with my neurodivergent brain, not be limited by it.

Happy #Caturday from me and Cyril, who has had to sit through yet another documentary about the Cold War (weirdly he finds my nuclear weapons documentaries very soothing...)

@obtownsend.bsky.social and I have created a special human rights wall in our hallway. It acts like garlic on vampires, repelling any R*form candidates who may knock on our door...
A poster with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights articles on it. The article headings are in bright pink, bold font. The poster is white. Three posters on a white wall. The closest is of rainbow text saying "resist" in a rainbow, 1970s style swirl pattern. The middle top is of the "Pits and Perverts" gig poster in black and white. The bottom is an underground-style map of Newport.
