Today is threatening to be A Bit Much tbh.

telehandler half in a ditch by the field track, about to be pulled out with a big digger. all was well. Still currently experiencing more than mild peril as the window pallets are being transported one by one along this track in QUITE A BREEZE

When your windows are given a surprise delivery date with no warning, this is how anecdotes are made.

I still think about this a lot.

I certainly helped... getting a bit impatient for indoor plumbing now, tbh

At the top end of the country, I've just got my first clump of spawn overnight. Frogs arrived yesterday.

It was down, but a mere half hour sorting and righting and hammering in pegs in a biting cold wind before breakfast put it right. I *may* be sounding chirpier about all this than I feel.

ah yes! They started arriving today and I love them.

Cairngorms. But without a proper house just now. *thinks heavy thoughts*

I have loads of really long pegs doing their best, but the ground is so soggy from all winter they may not be up to it. have also lashed it to a couple of trees so hopefully it won't fly far

Cleaned my teeth in a wash tent buffeting so wildly in the GALE that I fear overnight carnage. So have unpacked a lot of it and stowed safely. Nobody wants a composting toilet (however scrupulously clean and empty) flying free in public. CROSS EVERYTHING FOR LITTLE WASH TENT IN HOURS OF DARKNESS

I can only apologise.

Donald Trump (sorry, but if you have his name muted you will blissfully never see this) looking like he's singing on the vowel 'ee', gesticulating with one arm and those stubby little fat fingers in front of him so of course I set him to Frank WE CAN DREAM

🎶 and now
the end is neeeeeeeear
and so I face
the final curtain 🎶

Conservation is a long game. Little Imp – our youngest grandcalf – is what winning looks like.

92 wild-born babies now, whose mothers came to us as orphans. They grew up. They went wild. They started families.

hello! Yes - got that covered. Also ordered new kettle.

??? why is RFK Jr. going to the doctor for a surgery when he could simply eat a variety of weird meats at his injury

and my kettle has just died
(changed the fuse and tried a different socket. it's the kettle)

WHAT NEXT?

no no it's fiiiiine

only Tuesday, you say?

Cabin Pressure is running constantly in my head. Apologies.

Been told that all the diesel has run out in local fuel stations. And 'local' round here could mean within 50 miles, which means it's going to be a bit of a roulette driving Gertie out next time.

Roll on when I can get an EV. (Don't tell Gertie she's going to be off to the vet...)

well EXACTLY! If they gave me the editing gig I'd sort everything out.

two frogs stacked in the pond, staring at me and probably wishing I'd go away amd leave them to it. which I did

I think they've found love.

email from people I booked my covid jab from: "Dear Isabel, It is five months since you last had a private Covid vaccination via the Pharmadoctor service, at [redacted]. We recommend you consider a booster every 6 months and you can book an appointment for your next private Covid jab via the Pharmadoctor website."

I bet you do matey, at a hundred quid a pop. Think I'll struggle on for my full year thanks.

also why 'five' then '6'?
also why 'vaccination' then 'jab'?
do you need an editor?
are we not paying you enough to get one?

A Play In Three Acts

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

oh god

ah - will do. Now studying their ID doc to make sure I get the right ones.

The best.

*shrugs*

they're back!

frog floating in the pond. *Chandler Bing voice* legs couldn't BE more akimbo

FROG TIME!
SEXY FROG TIME!
