My dog is a socialist. If she finds a large stick she’s compelled to make it lots of little sticks so there are more to go around. I’m very proud of her.

Give them the right toys and they’ll keep themselves occupied for … well, in her case, minutes but then she’s exhausted 😍

Can’t be done, eh? You stick to whatever you do.

Verify your age? Here’s the UK top ten singles the year I was born

One of Australia’s greatest characteristics is its multiculturalism. It is, and as long as I’ve known it, has been a true melting pot. This has made it richer over the years. As the Seekers sang.

I say “Hello” to every dog I meet and my dog, Brontë, usually says something too. Not sure if it’s “Hello” or not.

Start at the beginning (“Colour of Magic”) and don’t stop reading

Me at 7 and me at 70 Got glasses now. Otherwise haven’t changed much.

Beat this!! Admittedly it’s a photo of a photo but it’s legitimately the first photo on my phone right now! It’s a picture of me (in the foreground) and my three eldest sisters sitting on a beach, in Little Aden in 1959. Aden refinery in the background. The photo (of the photo) is dated 2007.

I dare you! 😜

Yes, Debbie and Joan are both lovely but it’s always been Linda Ronstadt for me.

And namesake for this little cutie (Brontë the cockapoo) 😃

Walked past Festival Hall in Brisbane on my way home from Uni. Heard this powerful but angelic voice from inside. Bought ticket for the next night. Went to the show. Fell in love. Bought three of her albums the next day.

Here’s my little Brontë maintaining a determined lookout as we cruise along.

Got watched by Eddie Redmayne and his family going through Haywood Junction on my narrowboat in 2020. We waved to each other.

Took my dog shopping in “the big city”. Went into a shopping mall. Security guy came and asked “Is your dog an assistance dog?”. I said “She can be”. He said “Good answer!” He let us carry on. She’s a therapy dog. Makes everyone happy. 😂

Yeah, but “flesh out” is different and they’re frequently mixed up.

There’s a few choices. These look good

My little lady, Brontë. My motivation to get up in the morning. 🥰

Funny how there’s always that one favourite toy 🥰 My girl’s one is a unicorn 😊

How about a pair of dogs in a car? Not as ethereal and arty as Jessica’s photo, but still amusing

Brontë and I in the UK are wishing you success in the vote. We know how important it is for your future.

Anyone who likes my pet is fine by me 😃

Clearly didn’t wait long enough!

I’m actually British and 9% proudly Jewish but don’t let that bother you. Disapproval of Netanyahu’s methods is not antisemitism. Just as disapproval of Hamas’ methods is not anti-Palestinian. Disapproval of Hitler wasn’t anti-German. Disapproval of Trump isn’t anti-American. Do you get it yet?

I think the Bluesky algorithm is trying to suggest somewhere to send them 😂

So she’s a refugee then? Seems she’d like to recreate Nigeria in the UK.
