Did someone say #caturday?

This is Spare Cat. He turned up, moved in, got comfy, put on weight and then sadly faded away over a year and I lost him.

I am also going to fully abandon myself to the wonderful world of sleep, but I will be wearing my PJs. Night everyone.

I need a lesser known or brilliantly funny #film to make me chuckle. Day 10 of being bed bound with #LC. Any ideas anyone? Help me lighten the mood!

Prime, Apple TV and UK terrestrial all good.

Clean bed linen.

I used 34 pace points (if you know you know) today changing the flippin bed clothes again after doing it yesterday. Long story. I will no doubt get max use from these 24/7 for the next god only knows how long.

I took the bins out, does that count? Another day in bed for me

Oooh that looks beautiful, very berryish! I have just started a project using linen stitch crochet in a red kettle dyed Uruguay merino. It's creating a beautiful flat, thick fabric that has drape and is easy peasy and grows fast

Calling all #longcovid #ME/CFS friends, tell me what tech & #Ai #LLM prompts are making anything easier for you? I want to keep my spoons for me, not spend them on the boring stuff. Anyone got any clever solutions to the day to day energy drains?

I didn't know #postboxSaturday was a thing! Here is the #Snodhill, Herefordshire post box in the wall...

I am, I am, I am reading... Reading I am, I am, I am by Maggie O'Farrel. Why have I not read this book before?

It is an extraordinary read.

Have you read it?

What other heartstopping memoirs should I read?

Day 3. Kerala snaps to brighten up the timeline. This one is an ode to the beauty of the bicycle + forward motion + fresh produce + human ingenuity.

Are you really sure you don't want a real emotional support hen? I have one going cheep.

Well I skipped a day but nobody noticed, so here's Day 2 of Kerala pics. He's doing a Melania, while at the helm of a rather large motor boat.
September 18, 2025 at 3:44 PM
I'm going to share some pictures of Kerala from a while back. Mostly because I said to @andrewgiffordphoto.bsky.social that I would because he's shared the last of his.

Day 1. Life. This sign was way ahead of its time, kind of sums up the present moment.

We have been cleaning up the hedge trimmings.

Apples. Just a boxful. I have a couple of tons still on the tree.

Energy levels are so low today it's hard/impossible to sit at my desk, so i have moved my office in the vain hope that I might just be able to do a little to push my life forwards.

I think my hen has identity issues.

These two hang out together but hold each other in highest distain.

She may be a bit of a trooper and keep living her best life for a little while longer. My lovely tail chaser lived for a good few months after his tumour was found. Keep an open mind.

Are you and the rooster next door in cahoots?
