The Romanian Grandma called by today with her 2 grandkids. We struck up a friendship almost 3 years ago, talking via hand gestures, a translator app and hugs. I made a bouquet from the garden, the children picked apples. They came back later with courgettes (zucchini) from their garden. #community
This is my doorstep, but these are not my cats. They’re really sweet and have taken to greeting me warmly (zero Dreamies involved). My dinosaur and the gothspring could take note. #catsofbluesky #caturday every day
If Obama replied to this post with the Mean Girls “Why are you so obsessed with me?” meme he should automatically become president again.
Dusk, the local #kitler (cat that looks like Hitler) staring me out whilst I closed up the house for the night. He’s actually a sweet and timid boy. Rubbish at art. #catsofbluesky #caturday every day
The first garden windfall is wonky. Gone a bit pear shaped. Depending on position and line of sight it’s either a heart or an arse. #wheeloftheyear #digupyourlawn #nature
I’m shocked to hear of the death of Mitch McConnell tomorrow; I didn’t see that coming.
Refused to be photographed on #caturday but is having a photogenic surveillance morning. Certain of a snooze break. #catsofbluesky

August 4: #BoycottRetail #BoycottShopping. Beginning Aug 4, I will not buy anything for 3 weeks. No food, no clothing, no electronics, nothing. That's our only recourse for fighting Trump & his oligarchs. Imagine if all of us did this. We'd sure get their attention, without getting off the couch!
First harvest lammas blessings to you all. The season to reap what we sow. A little fire from last years apple wood and eucalyptus. Garden progress. Fennel is this years show off #wheeloftheyear #pagan #garden
Under the #Yorkshire lantern corn dolly for Lammas, or Lughnasadgh the first harvest. Almost time for her afternoon nap, the morning and afternoon nap are punctuated by a lunch of gravy. Her not me. I have gratefully toiled in the garden mostly. #wheeloftheyear
Today I am mainly ingesting healthy and purple. No clue re macros or anything like that.

2 years and 11 months of garden progress (including hiatus year due to very poorly foot). From blank slate to this… but always so much more to do. Feeling rather proud that I do not need to buy salad leaf (soz US friends) or berries anymore. #digupyourlawn #garden #yorkshire uk
