While I had too much Rioja red last night, today calls for a cold white wine spritzer while prepping for dinner

Found on Mastodon:- You do not earn a billion dollars. You steal it. Nobody works a billion times harder than a nurse, a teacher, or a farmer. That money comes from underpaying the people who actually did the work. Stop worshipping hoarders who are just really good at wage theft. @orevaZSN

Past couple weeks my crazy cocker has shown a lot of attention to the back corner of the garden. NOW I know why. We have a hedgehog family nesting in the back corner 😊

A brown cocker spaniel dog seen from the rear, hunched down on the grass with tail wagging looking at a small brown blob which is a hedgehog

This is a picture of Mark Tarpenning and Martin Eberhard standing each side of the red car they created. They founded Tesla.
You know, in case you thought it was someone else.

Two small dogs looking up at their human under a caption that reads: “My daughter has trained our dogs to come running anytime you accidentally spill something on the floor and yell “HOUSEKEEPING”. It is the funniest and most satisfying thing ever! 🤣😂”

The robin that sat on the back of my chair, in the vain hope we had cake or such like to snack on but sadly for him it was only disappointment as we only drank coffees. But we enjoyed his braveness, and snapped him 📷 as he hopped onto the table in front of me.

A robin - bird- stands fearlessly on the corner of a light brown table, his brown back with red and white front proudly on display, behind him is the shape of a man dressed in mid blue.

Open the loft hatch they said. It’ll help take the heat away they said. Like heck it did. This is ridiculous for nearly 11pm!

Baby prickle exploring with no fear - wasn’t bothered by crazy daisy the cocker spaniel who was keen to get closer; seen in the afternoon sunshine in south east Cornwall #hedgehog

Trematon Castle, a 12th century keep dating from early Norman conquest times, on the south west outskirts of Saltash, Cornwall, viewed across the verdant green of a wild flower filled field and cow parsley in the foreground. Sometimes seen in inset scenes on some episodes of BBC’s “Beyond Paradise”

A round dark grey castellated tower nestles on the distant hillside under a blue grey sky. Domes of different shades of green tree surround the tower. The mid ground is a verdant green fields with pin pricks of yellow and pink wild flowers. The foreground has creamy bubbles of cow parsley flowers atop their skinny leggy tall stems.

What is she like? Cocker spaniel gazing longingly?! She only loves me when I’m not telling her off for being impulsive and running after other dogs and squirrels and pigeons. Get a cocker spaniel they said… 🙄

Best time of year. Spring is springing. It might still be a bit chill and damp but the plants are blossoming and buds are bursting. Ferns, woodland, hawthorn, flowers, primrose.

Woodland scene of shades of green with ferns bottom left, browns of small branches across the scene and small white flowers pop above wide verdant shiny leaves

The curled up end of a fern leaf looking like a curled up caterpillar or snail shell on the end of a shepherds crook shape of the bud in a scene of green leaves

A cluster of small white hawthorn tree flowers - 5 petals per flier with fine stalks from the centre of each flower, set against the small green lobed leaves behind

Primrose flowers - pale cream flowers with 5 petals each and a rich yellow centre to each - against verdant green leaves

I just ordered a pair of high quality dog grooming scissors. Still lower cost than paying a grooming salon that effectively only runs clippers over the dog even when I ask for a reduction in length rather than a near shave. Thankfully she’s very happy to get the attention and stands still!

A brown haired cocker spaniel looks just to the left of the camera while sat on a blue dog bed. He brown collar with a small silvery metal name tag hangs at her off white stripe of fur from her chin down her chest.

Had a lovely bank holiday Monday with family, and spotted a lovely home I’d love to buy but need to win the lottery *sigh* and while a decent amount of wine has already been consumed this Easter, I’m on a decent NZ Pinot Noir 🍷 because WTH, we’re all going to die soon thx to the criminal 🍊 anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️

St Michael’s Mount in Mounts Bay, Cornwall. A castle on a rock in the deep green blue sea with the town of Penzance in the background, a light blue almost cloudless sky above

A glorious sunny morning (if somewhat blustery) for a dog walk at Mounts Bay, around the corner from Perranuthnoe, looking across the bay to St Michael’s Mount with Marazion visible to the right and Penzance in the background, Cornwall on a Monday Bank Holiday, Easter 2026

A coastal scene of St Michael’s Mount - a relatively modern castle on a rock in the rich blue rough sea of Mounts Bay, Cornwall, with Penzance town behind it, Marazion coastal village off to the right side, with a foreground of shades of greens and lime yellows of the plants with rough green grass in the foreground where a brown fluffy dog can be seen with tongue out and ears flapping in the wind

@mrjamesob.bsky.social evolution of the western - modern English alphabet. I’ve had this on my computer since 2018 when I first saw it (I’m a graphic designer so this kind of thing fascinates me). Sadly don’t know the original source. #MysteryHour

Someone has noticed the big cats (leopards and lions) on the TV nature documentary and she’s transfixed. I’ve warned her that these cats are not like the ones she’s familiar with 😆 #dog #cockerspaniel

Hey USA *taps the sign* This shit doesn't happen in France, and l'll tell you why: the rich went too far and they cut all their heads off and now, when those in charge get above themselves, the French just stop working and everyone remembers who actually holds the real power.

Don't forget your real power Americans. They don't let you have unions for a reason.

Powerful critical words from Brian Jopek on Mastodon : “…using their cell phone cameras to document the cruelty of ICE raids … I'm reminded of something someone said when U.S. troops began liberating Nazi concentration camps in early 1945…” Full post attached image & Alt text
