He’s part of the Board of Peace isn’t he? Warmongering seems to be a requirement of membership.

Imagine a world where we care about people and nature first. 😳

P.S. I probably don't need to warn you to watch out also for the crazy potholes that keep turning up. πŸ€ͺΒ£260 bill for me this week thanks to them.

The Grotesques of Tisbury - Weird Wiltshire Strange stone faced grotesques stare down from the walls of some Tisbury dwellings. Who were these characters? I had to find out for you!

Small Bluesky world! The aardvark was on Hindon Road in Tisbury! Shaftesbury is my nearest town. Have a look out for the stone faces in Tisbury when you drive through (and on the stone arch on the way through Fonthill Park). I wrote about them here: πŸ˜€

I had ex-battery hens - you can rescue them here before they go for slaughter. Poor girls were always in a state but they had a good life with us and in return we had a nice supply of fresh eggs. I'm having a hen keeping break at the moment after 15 years - too many other projects to deal with!

πŸ˜‚ She also needed me to not have chickens but of course I refused (and also refused to lay traps for the rats because a) I’m an animal lover and b) to annoy her! I’m a terrible and wicked neighbour! πŸ˜‚

Rats are a problem too! πŸ€ My neighbour (who has a thatch) used to complain bitterly about my chickens as it was encouraging rats that lived in her roof, keeping her awake at night! Since she is bossy and annoying I actually figured this was a bonus of my chicken keeping days. πŸ˜‚

Oh, is that shark near you?! 🦈

Me too!! Although thatched roofs are a big fat pain the arse so I wouldn’t actually want this house!

You wouldn’t….or would you?! πŸ€ͺ

Not my place (unfortunately!) but always cool to see on the thatched roofs. 😁

Quite! And who would be in good shape if they were created in the 14th century. 😁

They could well be! I need to upgrade my glasses. πŸ€“

πŸ˜‚ We love a creature in/on a roof here!

Shaftesbury in North Dorset! We’ve a fair few thatches round here with creations on the roofs. There was an aardvark on one until he went mouldy and rotted away! πŸ˜‚

Seriously good point. And while all this goes on he gets away with the Epstein crimes because the world is at war.

Given all that is happening in the world right now you’ve one million per cent done the right thing!

I just hope it makes me enough money to live on! Freelancing is always feast or famine but it’s been really tough since crappy AI came along. Hopefully Gargoyle will get some more projects coming my way. 🀞🏻🀞🏻🀞🏻

So nice! I spent a couple of months in Auckland working.
I always planned to emigrate but never quite got myself free of England! Now I am tied here with chains of my own making. πŸ˜‚

That is cause for a celebration. Whoop whoop! It rained here for 50 days. I know this because I am out in it every day. πŸ˜‚
