Gorgeous shepherd's warning this morning. No sign of the shepherd though, unfortunately.

Monopoly - yes or no?

I'm with Liam, hero of @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social 's wonderful book, Cosmic!

There's too many cats in my feed, so here is Iolo the dog living his best life on a narrowboat for counter-balance.
A Welsh terrier dog wrapped in an old school scarf sniffs the breeze as the narrowboat he is on chugs down the canal.
