Larry the cat on the fiver, Geronimo on the tenner, Cecil the lion* on the twenty and Paddington the Grim Reaper on the fifty.
*yes, I know Cecil was a lion and therefore not British, but *bangs table* CECIL THE LION.

Cat pic to balance out the politics posts/reposts. This week has very much been a βwhat the fuck is WRONG with some peopleβ week
The people who told us austerity was crucial, Brexit would be brilliant, Boris Johnsonβs 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, itβs brilliant)!
Iβm using it as a reward to myself - once Iβve typed up the two reports Iβve been procrastinating over all day, I can read it π
And thank you once more @jajrobertson.bsky.social ππΌ
Iβm glad he didnβt.
cc my MP - @markjsewards.bsky.social if we can continue not blindly following America, that would be grand!
Hereβs a link for buying tickets - weβd love to see you there!

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.

I remember when this happened on the M62 π€’π€’
Beaucoup du vin. Et puis, encore plus du vin.
Iβm looking forward to it! Thank you again
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.
Happy daffs #TinyJoys
Thank you!
That sounds really good! Please could I claim it?
This is lovely πΌ

Remember when America was so desperate not to elect a woman that they elected Donald Trump
Their replies were an absolute bin fire. I reported them for hate speech & then blocked them.
Wow. Sorry.
Didnβt realise youβd asked them all π
Can we keep Muslims and dogs, and bin him instead?
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 πΈπΈ
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
This has absolutely made my day π
Loads of fun tonight with all 4 horns ππ―π―π―π―

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.
Tonightβs rehearsal was in the church where tomorrowβs concert is.
It was Not Warm.
So tonight I have been Horn Compo

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 & Iβm enjoying it so much (itβs way better than background noise)
