rescue GSD assistance dog & handler. U.K. books cooking , carriage driving , gardening, learning . kindness & equality is all. Agnostic. i do typos lots. DM wary unless talked on posts. Tired and scared.

It's just the prettiest day . I've planted a few daffodils ( myself even though I am not meant to bend over ) and helped Husband with a fence . We had a rush trip to the vet because Goxua had an accident with a ladder ( fine but bruised)

As we head into our high season, a quick reminder about our self-guided audio tours in Andalucía, which cover a mix of history, culture, food & drink and local trivia. If you think your followers might be interested, please share - it's harder to reach new customers in the age of AI summaries.

Quick plug: With an average score of 4.8/5 across over 700 ratings, we think we’re doing something right with our VoiceMap audio/walking tours in Andalucía, but it would be great if more people knew about them. They’re like podcasts that guide you, telling you about what you’re seeing. 1/

It makes me smile wryly that Orrs wife is a vicar. He was a friend of a friend of husband's. The real friend husband drew back from witn great sadness because of conspiracy theory nonsense and a few other previous concerns. Another from that group we stayed with and that was fascinating

I always thought bucket lists were silly; but increasingly I find myself making them in my mind. I have never been to Formal hall with Husband and would like to. I'd like to go to a German Christmas market. I'd like to see the bayeaux tapestry.

Acorn palette. There’s evidence that the human brain really likes gentle colour gradations (probs due to ancient foraging mental reward pathways) so this is for your noggin-pause & zoom in for a tiny break from angsty scrolling with some nice nuts 🌿

HOLY SHIT DUDES fucking with the environment is now not just a sin (which Francis also said), it is classed as a direct fuck-you to God and a central tenet of the reasoning is the need to care for "our common home," i.e. you are morally obligated to think about the other people who also live here

Vatican theological commission defines ‘sin against creation and the Creator’ in new document

The more than 29,000 word text calls for ecological conversion due to “sin against creation and the Creator.”

Tesla's defective self-driving software will still illegally blow past a stopped school bus and run down a child crossing the road! We warned Tesla of this danger 4 years ago and the safety defect hasn't been fixed in FSD v14 Lite. Why is this product allowed on public roads?

I think as humans we need to be a bit more accepting of hypocrisy, because we are all hypocrites Going off piste a bit now but I think no one is a perfect human, no one will always get everything right, most people I do believe are just doing their best in an ever more complicated world

55% of the UK welfare bill goes on pensioners... most of which is just the state pension - benefits for unemployed people are actually quite tiny - around 3% - so if Badenoch is not talking about reducing the state pension then her defence spending is coming from disabled people

First world moan - VERY insignificant, but today I miss a scent made by a superb Russian perfumer. Obviously even if I could buy it i would not atm because - Ukraine. But I miss it. And I feel sorry for people impacted financially by the maniac men doing batshit crazy stuff.
