Franciscan gay chap from Hampshire UK. Looking to make friends and meet like minded people. Of the left. Proud owner of a lurcher pup who has become quite life consuming. And wonderfully in love!

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Funny how the £1.99 Maccies offer in my app today for a sausage and egg mcmuffin and a hash brown feels like a real win. Yay...

In need I think of a woolly bobble hat for dog walks... something bright, artisan, and wool. They seem to be most wind resistant out and about. Thoughts?

Was so tired yesterday, went to bed just after 10, and slept through until 6.30. Feeling amazing this morning! The joy of sleep.

With the Man back where he needs to be for work, am cosy with my new pup.. thankfully she is sleeping so I can catch up on my work for tomorrow that did not get done as planned. Savouring the memories of a lovely weekend together though.

Had a surprise weekend with my lovely feller driving 4 hours to be with me. Feeling truly blessed to have such a great man in my life, and enjoying a fun time at a mates bday party and a museum visit this morning. Not what I was expecting on Friday lunchtime! Lucky me.

The Pup has spent the last hour destroying a goats ear. Never seen such focus, but she is still there, chewing on this revolting relic as if her life depended on it. Clearly she is very happy and has a taste for dead goat. Who knew!
