Danish/British. Write, paint, walk the dog and read, love Beethoven, Mozart, Carl Nielsen, Bach, Schumann. Leaning heavily to the left. Fear for my child's and grandchildren's future. No hook-ups or sex-bots. No posts: no follow-back. No DMs.
Finally, the Orange Buffoon has said something that makes me titter. His hatred of windmills immediately brings to mind the phrase 'Tilting at windmills' - how incredibly apt.

I was horrified to hear that applying for a visa for the US requires disclosure of all social media accounts. A friend was denied a visa because of a post critical of the Orange Buffoon. Sm now - next a brain chip inserted to monitor our thoughts? '1984' is looking frightfully tame.

I wonder why I suddenly thought of the phrase 'No fury like a woman scorned'. I guess 'woman' could be replaced with - oh, whatever...

Should I be ashamed that I think it is utterly delicious that Trump and Musk have fallen out???? Not that it wasn't totally predictable, but it happened a bit earlier than I had expected.

How deeply embarrassing for the BBC: Zelensky speaking in Ankara this morning. BBC's text: 'He speaks Ukranian'. Honestly. Either show it with immediate translation or don't show it at all. I am pretty sure our licence fees would cover the odd interpreter.

For how long must we be exposed to constant coverage of red hats and boring smoke before the new Pope is elected? Am I in a minority to find this very, very boring? There are other important things happening in the world...

In honour of the stunning weather Laika and I dug deep into our aged, depleted energy supplies and wandered the perimeter of Culzean Country Park for 3 hours this morning

Bluebells, Pinkbells and Whitebells. Is this normal? - it is the first year I have seen those colours in one patch.

I am an avid reader of fiction. One thing that puts me completely off reading a book is a 'Prologue' - this hugely fashionable way of starting any story. The first few times I encountered one I didn't mind. Now it irritates me immensely. Just get on with the story, will you...

The increasing amount of nasty, aggressive posts on here is very sad. It was bound to come as people migrated from Twitter. I just did not expect it quite so soon.

I have seen no posts about yesterday's demonstrations in the US. I am fervently hoping that is not because they were less successful than the first one. Does anyone know?

If I lived in the US I'd have this post blown up to massive poster size and put it up everywhere there was a surface. Mothers know.

Ooooh - this is delicious. Musk totally disagrees with the tariffs. The divorce proceedings cannot be far off!

I saw a marvellous post of Trumps unintelligible rant regarding the marches - now I cannot find it again. I'd be enormously grateful if someone would post it again!

Watching a recording od 'Twitter: Breaking the Bird'. Interesting, but I am deeply frustrated by the fact that barely five words are spoken by the founders without a 'like'. I actually believed the use of that filler word was a sign of low intelligence. I don't suppose that applies to them.

Someone else probably already posted this - just saw it on FaceBook, and it strikes a chord.
