Morning sun. Through tree canopies. Already feeling hot!

Dark, sihouetted tree canopies, to the left of the frame. There is sunlight bursting through the leaves mid frame. Above, the blue sky has fluffy silvery clouds being lit by the sun. A bright ray of sunlight is cascading down to earth.

Took part in some research re end of life care and was gifted a voucher for my time… so bought books! @christinamartin.bsky.social helping me to prepare for the inevitable!

Sitting under the new wall mounted parasol watching butterflies and dragonflies swoop around the garden. #garden

Sunny sky covered by part of a black parasol, there is a house’s brick gable end to the left and part of another brick house just visible the right. In the middle is a sycamore tree’s canopy. The Sun’s rays make a star shape shining through the fabric of the sunshade.

Solar powered #airfryer cooking completed. Cheese & onion pastryless quiches. #GlutenFree

A small round airfryer basket has a red silicone mould, with seven holes, and browned quiches cooked. On a chopping board are some turned out quiches. The sun is casting its rays across the picture.

And a close up of the waterlily.

A freshly opened waterlily flower. Creamy white petals with a yellow centre. Set amongst green waterlily leaves and other oxygenating greenery. All in a small ceramic pot being used as a water feature.

From the garden. Surviving in the heat.

Lou@mustntgrumble· Jul 8

A glimpse of sun peeking through the ash tree’s green canopy. The heat’s on its way.

Green tree canopies, with a bright glint of sun almost central to the frame. To the right a clear blue sky is visible.

My sun shade exterior window blind is fitted! This is sure to mean that rain is incoming. #FingersCrossed

A brick, residential house with a white, bamboo blind over the exterior of a window. Surrounding it are planters and below it is a garden tap.

Lightning!

Pleasantly cloudy and breezy here today… temperature in high 20s, humidity of 64% is bearable.

A black metal thermometer, clock and hygrometer wall ensemble. On a wooden slatted fence.

Yeah. I had a face to face ‘disagreement’ with a neighbour about the “amount of scroungers” … until I showed him this chart. He soon shut up.

A bar chart, showing benefit fraud is almost negligible (and less than the column next door which is benefit errors) way lower than Benefits Unclaimed. To the right are two columns showing Tax Avoided, Evaded & Uncollected (both for HMRC estimate & other estimate)

The garden survived my week away. It is awash with flower, fruits and water! Here are some lathyrus blooms which I saved from today’s rainy onslaught. Pink Perfection. #TinyJoys

A rustic posy of pink lathyrus (everlasting sweet pea) flowers. They are in a frosted glass jar with a bark wrap. There is a white ceramic sonk edge to the left and a bamboo chopping board to the right. They are ona black granite work suface which makes their colour pop.

Yesterday we celebrated the life of my very dear friend. Nozecco, nattering and nibbles - just like she wanted. With lavender teabags and plants as memorial thank yous for her carers. Farewell to my fabulous friend!

A bag of iced gems, with icing in shades of lavender, together with an individual tea bag envelope which is sealed with an “In Loving Memory” sticker. The word are written inside a lavender flower wreath.

Current view. #Tinyjoys

A view of the sky, with high level bubbly clouds, the sun is behind them and shows as large bright area. There are areas of grey, white and blue. To the left are tree canopies covered in bright green foliage.

Very well cooked Brie & Cranberry Tarts! #TinyJoys

A close up of some overcooked brie and cranberry tarts. The cheese has browned, and overflowed. There are deep fried sage leaves trying to hide the carbonisation!

Lou@mustntgrumble· May 27

Please enjoy a trio of #hedgehog visitors to our garden last night. #TinyJoys (See Alt Text for more insights!)

My view. Shady haven. #TinyJoys

Today is why trees, and shade, are good for gardens and us. Sit in the shade folks! On our South facing shady (for now) patio. There is a breeze and the blue tit family is busy to my left. It is peaceful as no cars, kids or power tools are yelling at me. It is one of my greatly enjoyed #TinyJoys.

A screenshot from a weather app. Showing temperature of 25°C , feels like 28°C H:32°C L:14°C. Below is an array of sun icons for each hour with rising temperatures throughout the day.

Blue tit nesting box… lots of action and noisy chicks. #TinyJoys

Lou@mustntgrumble· May 25

Garden view. #NoMowMay looking good. Lots of bird activity - blue tits busy feeding noisy young. Will post a video soon

View from patio of a grassy area. Lots of wild flowers - daisies, buttercups to name two. To the left is a wooden picnic bench with a green parasol over. A red brick wall is in the background, supporting plants and greenery. To the right an ivy covered wall is recovering after neighbours hacked it back.

Lou@mustntgrumble· May 24

Yay. @gailmyerscough.co.uk cushions are now all here! #TinyJoys

A fresco dining with a vase full of garden flowers #TinyJoys

A lilac metal jug, on a wooden picnic bench, is full of garden flowers. Green and lime Lady’s mantle, purple alliums and chives, and deep purple cerinthe. Also on the table is a small lemon tart with raspberries. Shadows fall on the table from a screen.

Today’s vibe…

A drinks coaster with a red, old style, corded telephone and the words “IF IT’S FOR ME TELL THEM TO FUCK OFF”

Lou@mustntgrumble· May 16

This is the colour I’d like. (As you can see, the colour dot says orange but the picture is the colour I’d like)

Screen grab of Gail Myerscough’s shop, superb ada cushion waiting for me to purchase.

Magnificent… am guessing she was “a woman of a certain age” a sight (and sound) to behold In Full Sail.

A stern faced white woman with short grey hair and loud earrings is sitting in a car, wearing sunglasses. The words “I identify as a threat. My pronouns are try/me” are subtitled.

Today we say farewell to Farting Finn the #FosterDog. He is heading elsewhere to continue his journey.
