Was sitting on the top deck of a bus today, listening to a podcast, when I noticed we’d been sitting at the same stop for a while. Looked around to find top deck deserted. Went downstairs to find myself alone on bus with no other passengers and no driver. So, there’s that.

I find it such a simple joy - squirrels have so much character and make me laugh and smile.

For the first time in a while I’ve got some baby #squirrels visiting the garden. I hope the extra food helps. Summer babies don’t usually do as well as ones born at the start of the year. #sqrlpix #SquirrelsOfBluesky #Squirrelsky #SquirrelScrolling

A tiny squirrel stands on a paving stone strewn with seeds, nuts, corn and empty shells eating.

I think this #squirrel is threatening to strangle me. #sqrlpix #SquirrelsOfBluesky #Squirrelsky #SquirrelScrolling

A grey squirrel hunches menacingly over a miniature wooden picnic table, their front paws held apart in a gesture that implies they’d like to wrap them round the photographer’s throat.
