i really do not think it is the weather to be making hats, sam

me, a small ginger stuffed dog with big floppy ears and a cheeky smiley face, wearing a bluey grey knitted deep rib squished down over my ears like a Rambo headband, with knitting needles sticking out of the top row

@gardenstuff.bsky.social sam has repotted the new generation of windowsill plants and we can spend hours enjoying all the GREEN visible from her bed. not as much variety as some years but it depends what she can find at the garden shop, and lavender and rosemary smells are never bad.

a wide shot of four plant pots on a windowsill, with the window open behind them and a wall of green from the trees outside behind that. the pots are different sizes and colours or patterns. on the left is a big scarlet pot with a chunky white lavender in it. then there is a terracotta pot painted white with irises on it, containing an already quite leggy rosemary. then there is a little pot with pretty coloured tiles covering it, with a mostly flowerless campanula in. finally on the right there is a big plant pot coloured pot with a nice bushy purple lavender in it.

she brought back loads of lemon curd swirled cheesecake from her adventures yesterday. she said there was still enough that she did not need to bring anything back when she heads out again tomorrow but we said CAYK TUNNEL. get your spoons ready!

how cool is flopsys new hoodie?!

flopsy, an older white rabbit, wearing her navy blue pants and grey t-shirt but with a funky new purple knitted hoody on top. she has the hood pulled up and it makes her ears poke forward more than usual

an almost side view of flopsy in her new hoody, so you can see the sleeves and how everything flows seamlessly into the hood

the back view of her new hoody, with the hood down so it lies wide and flat and dead neat on her back

Gromit@samsgromit· Jul 8

do not disturb. rabbit reading. definitely do not disturb. she is reading about medea, who was really not to be messed with.

top down view of a small white rabbit in her pink hoody, so all you can see are her ears pointing forwards and a wee bit of her nose, and her left paw holding a book open. the rest of the picture is the book she is reading. you an just about make out the title of a chapter, "alcimede", on the top of the left hand page

Gromit@samsgromit· Jul 3

flopsy is getting a new summer-weight hoodie. "i like this inbuilt defence mechanism," she says. "it will really cut down on being squashed by sleeping sams."

what is particularly special about gnaw chocolate? asking for a sam. yes, tog, and for you as well.

a very close-up of a small cuddly polar bear cub looking into the camera. their nose is right up against the camera, and their snout is taking up a lot of the frame. their left eye is just about squeezed into the side of the pic

Gromit@samsgromit· Jul 2

we appear to have gained a second little herdy. how many have to move in before it counts as a flock? and do they follow each other? what i am asking is, is this the start of us being overrun?

a little snuggly herdwick sheep looking coyly up at the camera. tog is visible in the bottom corner, mostly their nose and front paws, and they are turned slightly towards the camera. and in the top corner you can see all my collar bling.

Gromit@samsgromit· Jun 23

she has a heatable gromit who is full of oats or something. we have never let her put him in the microwave. the cruelty!

an all fabric wallace and gromit gromit with a tag attached to his ear. if you could read it, you would see the tag says he is heatable - you can stick him in the microwave

Gromit@samsgromit· Jun 23

officially hot enough that i have asked for her to do this. i am saving taking off my tshirt so i appreciate it more later

me, a small stuffed ginger dog in my t-shirt (still! i am not entirely ready to go nekkid), with my gorgeous floppy dog ears held up over my head like a bunny mono-ear by a light green hair elastic

Gromit@samsgromit· Jun 22

it is finally cool enough for official birthday cake+candle. happy slightly delayed official birthday ladies and harry.

a small older white bunny in pink knitted hoody, and a small older cuddly dog looking appreciatively at a cheesecake with raspberry swirl and a lit candle stuck in its middle

Gromit@samsgromit· Jun 22

harry has taken off his hat. "heads lose a lot of heat," he says, "and i could do with doing that this week".

a large light brown cuddly dog lounging along the back of a sofa with his jaw resting on a patterned cushion and one leg flopping down. he is wearing sunnies and his big dome head is bare

i would also accept bread bike

they say dig in!

a small cuddly polar bear cub quite close to the camera, looking at the lens from the side. just out of focus behind them is half a chocolate cheesecake in its container and marked into two equal portions, with a spoon ready to go

Gromit@samsgromit· Jun 13

"CHEESECAKE!" sam declares at least. hurra- CHOCOLATE SAM?! *headdesk*

a whole quarter of a chocolatey swirled cheesecake in a white bowl, with a spoonful of one corner missing. the top is a milk and white chocolate swirl and there is some of the chocolate cream cheese filling visible beneath. it is a triple chocolate job, which you can tell from the choccie biscuit crumbs to the bottom of the picture. i mean, really

Gromit@samsgromit· Jun 12

we are trying to decide who most suits the hat sam has not long finished. it is meant to be "for a friend" but she has enough to make another one. this one should stay here surely?

me, a small cuddly ginger dog, wearing an aran cardigan but also a very fluffy purple and rich pink interestingly stripy knitted hat

a small cuddly polar bear cub sitting on a sofa. they are wearing a purple scarf with a rainbow they/them badge on it, and a very fluffy purple and rich pink interestingly stripy knitted hat. the hat is waaaay too big for them and is slouched over one side of their face

Gromit@samsgromit· May 28

ah, ok, we will let her off. normal 11ses service resumed now she is properly awake. that or flopsy whispering in her ear all night worked.

a black napkin with a selection of sweet things on it. there are two wee chocolates, one dark, one milk, a mini pastel de nata, and a mini madeline

Gromit@samsgromit· May 27

OH I SEE. YOU ARE "WORKING HARD", ARE YOU, SAM?

a serving slate full of chocolate covered pastry balls, some with whipped cream visible on the sides.

Gromit@samsgromit· May 27

she brought us back some elevenses. apparently she "just had to" pre-test some of them

tiny (honest) pastries on a fancy cloth paper napkin. there is a little pastel de nata, a custard slice, and a cutesy little chocolate eclair

a small piece of tray bake-looking sliced pastry, with a big human-shaped bite out of one corner

this is the mcflurry hedgehog. it is really sad but also unintentionally quite funny: "the powerful british hedgehog lobby". they sound shady but also like they would do good cuppas in their secret meetings.

me looking at a hedgehog in a display case, with its head stuck in a mcflurry ice cream carton. there is a panel of explanatory text in front of it, which is shown in the next picture

"They would die from starvation or blindly walk into water and drown. The powerful British hedgehog lobby succeeded in forcing the large fast food chain to change the design to a smaller opening in the hedgehog killing lid."

this is the cern weasel. or rather cern weasel 2. in april 2016 the first one got into a substation at cern and when it was electrocuted it managed to short circuit the large hadron collider for a week. then in november 2016 this one jumped a fence and collided with an 18000 volt transformer.

me looking into a display case containing a remarkably well preserved stone marten - a light brown weasel-type animal with a long tail and cutely curled up front paws. it is remarkably well preserved because the cause of death was a fight with a very high voltage bit of kit at the large hadron collider.

I AM ON A BEACH

me, a small cuddly ginger dog wearing a white t-shirt with red trim and a blue lanyard, sitting all neat and cute and looking up at the camera. i am sitting on a sandy beach!

me sitting side-on, looking to the left, out across the beach

a big sandy beach with the sea in the middle third of the picture. the sun is making everything in the foreground look moody as it beams out of a cloudless sky in the top left corner

i would love to have been artsy but me-size bags are not allowed even in the depot of the museum boijmans. on the plus side i can have a good nosey in everyone elses bags while i wait for her to come back.

a big silver teacup or ikea-vase- shaped building reflecting the open space around it. on the flat roof you can see trees. the sky is dead blue and super clear

me looking a bit grumpy in my travel bag, behind a clear bright pink plastic grill door. behind me you can see through to a bag in the next locker

Gromit@samsgromit· May 26

TRAM!!

me, a small ginger cuddly dog, looking at the camera from a big beige tote bag

me being supported by a human hand so i can lean forward and look out of the window

deep space nine from below. there is an episode title written over the top left corner that reads "seven ferengi and an iggy pop"

sprok is staying over. sam says we can stay up as late as we want as long as we do not make a racket. we have sent her through to gather snacks so we do not wake her up when we want our midnight feast.

me and sprokit, two floppy cuddly dogs, one ginger (me) and one cream-coloured (sprok), leaning up the back of a sofa to talk to harry, a bigger floppy dog wearing his shades and straw summer hat and lounging across the top of the sofa

Gromit@samsgromit· May 22

da da daaaa! my brother sprok is here!

me, a small ginger dog wearing my white t-shirt and blue lanyard, sitting next to a beige version of me, my brother!

Gromit@samsgromit· May 21

harry has "updated his vibe". he is always so effortlessly cool.

a large light tan brown cuddly dog with floppy ears, resting his chin on a patterned cushion. he is wearing a pair of brownish graduated sunglasses and a straw cowboy-style hat

Gromit@samsgromit· May 21

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! sam says i cannot wear them outside until she finds a specs cord to keep them on me like a pair of summer mittens 🙄

me, a small ginger dog wearing a white t-shirt, a blue miniatur wunderland lanyard and a blingy collar, and a new pair of mirrored oil effect sunglasses

Gromit@samsgromit· May 19

look! it arrived!
