Lovely day of birding yesterday, lots heard, fewer seen in the dense woods. Did get a glimpse of the lesser-spotted @gottobedrifting.bsky.social though, which is always a treat.
‘Committed’ is a strong word for my level of birding dedication - I am pretty lazy. Did get all of this lot, though 😊
Although I did massively fancy this era 👇🏻 Tom, and I will not be shamed. CurrentTom has had too many injectables, though, all gone a bit doughy. (Says she, practically perfect in every way.)
While we’re talking all things Muriel Spark, can I just share this cover by Terence Greer - it’s a thing of beauty ♥️
Iraola’s got a bit of a Trump mouth, a little pursed thing, and now I can’t unsee it. #LFC (We need to make sure he is always smiling, because when he smiles he is endearingly toothy and not at all Trump-y. So just win all the stuff, yeah, Reds? Ta.)
Beautiful skies out there this evening. Sound on for the gulls coming in to roost. They’re *almost* as noisy going to bed as they are getting up. 🪶
This is as close to summer clothes as a goth-adjacent middle-aged woman is gonna get. #AnklesOut
It may be called Lark Lane, but it’s the pigeons and gulls who are in charge.
Also: please admire this honeysuckle. It was only a wee thing when I bought it, and now it’s a beautiful, rampant monster.
Handyman came round today to do a couple of odd jobs. He said “I’m not very good on ladders” and then proceeded to go up the ladder IN CROCS.
Can’t believe I’ve never spotted this before, Davo! @davidclewis.bsky.social
Me and my husband used to frequently take the CD of Once More With Feeling on long car journeys. The noise we made singing along 🤣
Band Candy remains one of the very best Buffy episodes, and a lot of that is down to Anthony Head. Although, tbf, he was sarky and dry and funny for pretty much every episode over the whole seven seasons. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
The new(?) Uber thing where you can ask for no talking? Introvert heaven.
