Is this an “Iran is begging for a deal” day, or an “I’m going to bomb them at levels not seen since WWII” day? Sometimes it can be hard to keep up.
These people are mad at Dr. Fauci because he told them to wear a mask during a deadly pandemic.
I have mucked out the stables and restocked. Both Craigievar and Eilan Donan are ready for more hedgehog guests. 🦔
Kett’s Oak still hanging on in through this drought. As was I.
Hedgehog ASBOs possibly required. Low level crime committed down at the pond. 🦔
The mystery of what brushed past me as I restocked a hedgehog house has been solved. Content warning: On seeing this video, my wife asked if I had just given birth to one of our cats.

Saturday morning easy run to the bakery. And back. You can probably spot the bakery route detour. 🏃♂️
Thirsty work just being a hedgehog at the best of times but especially in a heatwave/drought. Please leave shallow bowls of water out. 🦔

Some hedgehogs are very messy. Some hedgehogs tidy up. Love this one carefully hoovering up all the floor biscuits 😋 🦔
Just checking the overnight hedgehog cameras. A good service on all routes and my patent pending Hedgehog Assistive Brick System (HABS) was in use. 🙌🦔
Overnight hedgehog shenanigans. Hedgehog bowling and a water obstacle. 🦔 #hedgehogs
Of course, it’s not just just the cats and hedgehogs who make use of the pond. Hi there, chonky wood pigeon.
Physio, quick coffee, admire the medieval city of Norwich. ☀️
Ponds support and sustain life. Like so. Our pond is shallow on all sides so animals like hedgehogs can get in and out easily. No swimming tonight but plenty of drinking. 🦔
