Carly can be very judgemental when she wants attention and you’re trying to work.

Today’s supposed chill out spot on ITV1 at 5am, is what appears to be an AI-generated animation of a field being baled for hay, cos obvs we don’t have enough real fields to film with actual people so let’s burn the planet unnecessarily with AI arrrrrggghhhhhhh smash smash smash

What appears to be an AI animation of a sun-dappled rolling green grass field being baled for hay, with a sun flare mid top right which suspiciously never moves, being shown live at 5am in ITV1 in their supposed chill out zone, which instead has made me really angry.

It’s just a mountain in some mist soundtracked by terrible computer-generated sax music today. Aaargh.

Carly has the thousand yard stare of a kitten definitely not enjoying the hot weather…

It’s just a still of a hill and some synthetic flute music today at 5.15am on ITV1. Aaaargh.

Up at stupid o’clock again (5.30am) for no reason. BBC 1 has on Austria vs Jordan live (welcome Jordan!) in the World Cup. ITV1? Real time silent basket-weaving.

Did a spot of essential gardening just now with my beautiful boy Warren. It was so hot, now my sweat is sweating.

Haha, just tried to get a cute pic of Warren and Carly cuddled up together just now. That went well…

I’m up so early (for no reason), ITV1’s current programme is a load of AI-animated moving multicoloured pipes, set to pound shop Balearic comedown music. At 5.30am on a Wednesday morning.

A TV screen in gloomy rising dawn light, showing AI-animated moving abstract pipes in shades of bright greens, blues, teal, white and ecru, soundtracked by terrible so-called chill out music - the only thing showing on ITV1, one of the UK’s main channels, at 5.40am on Weds. It’s called Unwind With ITV, and it’s stressing me out.

Warren jumped up on the sofa to be with Carly just now. This makes my heart sing.

Carly is such a funny looking spirit pixie kitten. She’s properly running around the whole flat now and coming to us for cuddles, but is still not a fan of Warren, who just wants to play, bless him.

First day at home with Carly content. Though still shy, she’s stopped hiding in the bathroom and settling in great. She’s like a cross between a werewolf, bear cub and porcupine with her random long wiry hairs. We adore her.

Meet Carly (after Carly Simon). She’s a three month old rescue kitten currently hiding under the sink in the bathroom, so we’ve set a camp up for her there. So this pic is from the other day. Warren has met her briefly and just seems very curious.

Warren, the fierce hunter, has just brought us yet another piece of scaffolding pipe foam. That scaffolding will be bare soon.

This is my new rock n’ roll. Total scenes in the kitchen!

A lot of different tomato seedlings labelled by variety in rectangular little plant pots, growing on a white quartz kitchen counter by a kitchen window, in front of a CD radio and a bottle of red cooking wine, and binoculars for garden bird watching, I shit you not.

Warren is very proud of his latest ‘kill’ - some scaffolding foam that he’s just loudly brought in from god knows where…

“Not guilty, m’ lud.” Warren really is the picture of innocence this morning, despite last night’s sleep wrecking shenanigans.
