Frustrated artist and scientist (because no good at either), likes wildlife and curry, worries about climate change and my kids. ALSO CATS. CATS ARE NICE.

Mysterious rainbow on my floor yesterday. Couldn't work out where it was coming from; no matter, I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Word of the day is ‘quafftide’ (16th century): the season for drinking. Also a pithy way of declaring that it’s time to relax.
Works for hydropots (water drinkers) just as well.

So, who's currently identifying as a middle class woman of a certain age?
I might get that on a t-shirt.

@deanwilson.bsky.social do you like this stuff? I love it but rarely find any! Discovered this in a Bishops Castle trinket shop.

Well who'd have thunk it.
Here’s a short story about who wins and loses from the status quo of our inheritance tax rules - and about, what you might politely call ‘sub-optimal’ journalism🧵

I have just ordered the "Statite Never Come Loose Toilet Seat" in white. The product blurb says "a seat that once fitted will never work loose."
Every other toilet seat on that bog over the last 20 years, without fail, has come loose.
So we'll just bloody well see, shall we.

Anyone got helpful hints for capturing a trap-shy feral kitten? We think the little varmint has already had a bad trap experience (possibly with an automatic one - injured its tail badly). It's shy of people too but is slowly warming up to me. Do I keep trying to make friends with it? #catsofbluesky

@catsofyore.bsky.social this is a lovely book, if you've not seen it before. Wonderful illustrations and a story that causes a visit from the Onion Fairy. ©️ 1972.

My great-aunt was a live-in maidservant to Clement Atlee's aunt, and for a few years during my childhood I slept under an eiderdown that had belonged to her (Atlee's aunt that is).
Give me one interesting fact about your family history that you learned.

@catsofyore.bsky.social this is in a garden wall in our village, bordering a car park at the back of the dentist's. I like to think the long-ago bricklayer positioned it deliberately.

Looking down the Carding Mill Valley towards Church Stretton. I sometimes wonder if humans are hefted to the terrain of their early years, like sheep. Whenever I return to the Shropshire hills, I feel like I'm putting the landscape on like a warm jumper.
