Ruth Park is cited extensively for her description of a Southerly Buster, and also the author of a children’s book about a change in the wind, so perhaps I shall just use this image:

I need a different macro to explain my feelings about the weather.
It is WIMDY, but
- it is not winter
- it was in fact hot, but now the WIMD is cool
- but the WIMD is very… present. It has PERSONALITY.

May I bring to your attention: BunnyWatch Summer 2025!
A white juvenile rabbit has moved in at the edge of the clearing. I assume it has relatives, perhaps better camouflaged. Clara is over the moon: she doesn’t even have to go anywhere and she can watch bunnies all day!

Inarguably, but may I hold up for consideration a close runner-up? Small bird head butts human hand from various directions until the hand is arranged in such a way that he can shove his tiny little body inside the giant human grabbers and snuggle 🥹

Clara would like to swap. All day she begged to go outside and then immediately came back in because too hot; five minutes later, perhaps a different door leads to different weather?

Huh. Sweeter than I’d normally want a white roll to be, the end result is more like a really good scone than any scone I’ve had since going gluten-free. I’ll call that a win, @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social !
Now, if only I had access to decent clotted cream…

Hmm. Spikier on the top surface than is strictly desirable: perhaps I should have veeery gently patted them into shape with floured hands or a spatula.
But they do resemble bread, just about.

I finished Haldor Laxness’ Under The Glacier and started on Olga Tokarcsuk’s Drive Your Plow Over The Bones of the Dead.
My assistant here has also devised a cunning method of helping me through a chunky law textbook (picking out existing notes for me to expand upon).

My chariot has arrived. Ladies and gentleplumes, I give you: the stilliest boat on the port. Yes, it looks permanently back to front. It has a helm on the front outside of the cabin so you can steer it going the other way if you so desire.

I don’t have a picture to describe “book perturbed me so much I overslept then tried to don a sports bra as underpants”, but fortunately Mr Peach provided an enactment of the rest of my emotional state just now: burrito? Shiny things? Gimme.

Ah. Turns out, medicines, medicine bottles, and pill boxes are all VERY INTERESTING for birds!
He was removed to his cage, where he sulked while I finished the week’s pill sorting. Unjust! Unfair!

The best-laid dinner plans of Az gang agley on account of handsome but rascally dog.
Handsome rascal turned up in our yard, sending Dog Of The House into a frenzy. When rascal’s tag number was called, owner said she had fallen down on the waterfront nearby.
Had doggie gone for help?

My screaming soulmate here screams much less than 5-7 years ago, and causes less mayhem. He seems mostly happy to hear that one of the humans has been medically instructed to lounge around in his enclosed balcony area.
The dog is happy too - she’s not allowed in the Bird Zone unsupervised.
