Love history and my somewhat lack lustre attempts at gardening.

Rest in power Clem Burke; the heartbeat of Blondie.

Last saw him in Glasgow, at St Luke's, in 2024, with the Lust For Life band; what a drummer...

We lost Sir Terry Pratchett 10 years ago today.

GNU Terry Pratchett.

Well, the bad news is we had gas leaks,the hob and oven were condemned, and apparently, the previous electrician had left dangerous wiring.Good news, they were able to make it safe and replace. So new boiler,heating,bathroom and safe gas. Merry safe Christmas.

Heart stopping moment at 00:55, waking to the sound of rattling to find one of the cats trying to munch on my morning pain meds and anti seizure meds. She's fine, but now I wonder how often I've taken my meds in the morning after she's had a lick.

I've hurt my back again, and the plumbing and heating engineers arrive tomorrow. The main issue is that we need to move heavy furniture, and I'm brain-dead from pain meds and can't decide where to put it.

Police in Japan installed cameras after nearly two dozen children's shoes went missing from a kindergarten.

It's believed that the weasel is taking them back to its nest to keep warm.

Too cute.

It's just deliberate chaos. Ignore them all. Watch the heritage foundation picks. Those will be the ones putting in the work. Every ridiculous pick is a distraction.

CAT ADVISORY: With temperatures remaining uncomfortably low and #StormBert on its way it's important that you find the warmest spot in the house and stay there. Tell your humans to keep the second warmest spot free in case you want a change of scenery.

Two years ago today, I shot this photo in our glen. Scotland classifies stags accordingly: 12 points is a "Royal," 14 points is a "Monarch" and more than 14 is an "Emperor."

The littlest cat is not happy that the snow is wet. Big cat is just confused and annoyed that he has to use a litter tray or get his bum wet and cold. It'd be funny if it wasn't me they moaned at in the middle of the night.

The littlest cat just stared at me and hissed. My crime? I hadn't opened the window. I clean the litter trays, wash the bowls and the blankets and still she hates me.
