Given the weather lately, it is no surprise that my charge is spending almost all her time outside in a deeply shaded corner of her garden. But she still comes in for food and fusses. #catsitterlife

Got my cat sitter hat on this week - and Tammy when she wants a cuddle is a cat sitter's delight. #catsitterlife

8 years on from this photo and I am pretty sure @modparlphotos.bsky.social still has that same camera bag. Or maybe I have it. In any case - both the bag and the photographer continue to do their thing

Dates in Movies @datesinmovies.bsky.social · Jun 9

Jun 9th 1954 - Six strangers are invited to a secluded New England mansion. The date is known due to the Army–McCarthy hearings that were on the TV in the kitchen

📽️📅 Clue (1985)

3 Screenshots from the movie "Clue" (1985): First, a chef stands in a kitchen gripping a large knife while a man in a tuxedo approaches from a stairwell and asks, “Is everything all right, Mrs. Ho?” with a black-and-white horror film playing on a TV. Second, a close-up of the man in the tuxedo looking concerned with the knife blade visible near his shoulder. Third, the chef continues to hold the knife while watching the television, which shows a dramatic scene of a woman with a raised weapon.

Millie is unimpressed by Ruffles' attention seeking.

I note with interest that today is Escargot Day. It's also Tiara Day. While I certainly deserve one & could no doubt pull it off, they're not as good at delivering garlic and butter as snails so I'm less interested in them.

Tomorrow is Wine Day & Tap Dance Day. Please tap responsibly.

He and his sister Ruffles are the newest but they came to us in June last year. He is the only boy - outnumbered by Millie, Smoosh and Ruffles.

Ya know, 'Wear Your Pyjamas To Work Day' just isn't what it used to be. Now it's just Monday. And Wednesday. And any day I've put off laundry just one day too long.

Nothing would ever be enough and no deal anyone agreed to would be honoured. There is absolutely no point negotiating with a government run by a group of people who can't be trusted as far as you could throw them.

Thanks. It was like herding cats on occasion - when are digital projects ever not? 😁 - but we all got there in the end and I hope the tourism businesses it is aimed at find it helpful and inspiring.

At last, I can share the project I've been working on: VisitEngland's Regenerative Tourism Guide!

It was a pleasure to work with author Sarah Duncan on this & it could not have been done without the help of many teams across the organisation. Well done to all.
