A black & brown stripy tabby cat, snoozing on the top deck of her cat tree, with shafts of sunlight across the top of her head and her tummy. 
In the background is my living room, which could definitely be tidier…

Cat pic to balance out the politics posts/reposts. This week has very much been a β€œwhat the fuck is WRONG with some people” week

The people who told us austerity was crucial, Brexit would be brilliant, Boris Johnson’s amazing and Liz Truss is an economic genius, are now insisting the country should join an illegal war

My #BuyAStrangerABook book has arrived (follow @biggreenbooks.bsky.social to get in on this, it’s brilliant)!
I’m using it as a reward to myself - once I’ve typed up the two reports I’ve been procrastinating over all day, I can read it 😁
And thank you once more @jajrobertson.bsky.social πŸ‘πŸΌ

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.

Worth a watch.

Four large round (slightly faded) green planters in a row, with varying amounts of daffodils growing in them. 
Three of the planters have small trees in them, still in their winter twig-like clothes. 
In front of the planters is a gravelled area; behind them is a lawn sloping away to a wooden fence in the background. 
There is sunshine hitting the fence, but the grass and planters are still in the shade.

Their replies were an absolute bin fire. I reported them for hate speech & then blocked them.

Early sunset over Leeds, looking out over rooftops. The sky is blue at the top but orangey-yellow lower down towards the buildings. There is one very small cloud in the distance on the left. 

The reflection of the lights in the window make it look like there are UFOs flying over Leeds πŸ›ΈπŸ›Έ

Spent the day in LGI with Ch3 (nothing life-threatening thank goodness) and there is a cracking view from the lifts. #Leeds #Sunset

Also the #NHS staff are fucking ace

Me, an old-enough-to-know-better woman, in a navy blue hoody & a crocheted hat because this church is Bastard Freezing. 
I have dark hair in two plaits, one is curling in front of my left shoulder (so on the right in the photo). I am wearing black framed glasses & twisting my mouth up to one side in disapproval of it being Bastard Freezing.

Tonight’s rehearsal was in the church where tomorrow’s concert is.

I put the first episode of School Spirits on a while back as background noise, and was hooked almost immediately.
Now well into series 3 & I’m enjoying it so much (it’s way better than background noise)
