Hopefully a few days rest will put him right 🤞

Fiona @fionadean.bsky.social · 4h

Isn’t it?! Unfortunately he’s not very happy now, we think he’s maybe sprained his tail with all his mad spaniel running today. So a trip to the vee eee tee tomorrow 😔

You’ll be fine xx

In your account, content and media, following feeds preferences, turn off reposts. I still see them if someone reposts with a comment but it removes a lot of annoying reposts that you’d see six times from different accounts

I’ve blocked all the retweets. So much better

Fiona @fionadean.bsky.social · 5h

So you are in a subset of very (un)fortunate people whose posts I read AND respond to!

Fiona @fionadean.bsky.social · 5h

I don’t interact with everyone I follow, I don’t even read all their posts as it’s overwhelming

No, just a rub down and a few hours in his drying robe. He was just wet, not mucky

Fiona @fionadean.bsky.social · 8h

Yes, he’s shattered now 😂

Wish I could get Archie to sit on my lap like that when I’m crocheting. He’s just that bit too big.

I really like it too, but what is that growing out of her hair?!

Fiona @fionadean.bsky.social · 8h

He asked if we could go. Then was so good waiting for me instead of running straight there. It really is a happy place for him 🥰

Today’s walk was the happy spaniel in the rain and in the stream kind 🥰

Archie the brown and white springer spaniel, soaking wet and with one ear inside out, stood by the stream waiting to play stick.

A blur of dog and stick running along the stream. The trees over the stream are starting to change colour and there’s a branch with bright gold leaves catching the light.

A group of wet fly agaric toadstools. The classic scarlet ones with white flecks and stems.

I was trying to remember the 5 letters while I looked for an anagram solver and they arranged themselves correctly in my brain. Amazing how it can get the answer when you stop thinking about it 🤦‍♀️

Fiona @fionadean.bsky.social · 12h

6 was all I could think of when I was trying to solve 5 😂

Fiona @fionadean.bsky.social · 13h

Thank you 😊

I solved today's Eightile in 141 seconds! The 5 letter word nearly floored me 🤦‍♀️

I’ve only 4 bantams so we eat all our eggs. Looks like the restrictions haven’t started on my side of the country yet.

Fiona @fionadean.bsky.social · 15h

Love this! Our jackdaws still tap on the caps on the chimneys, hoping they can move them and nest. We can hear them at the other end of the flues and know they’re up there

Fiona @fionadean.bsky.social · 15h

No, it wasn’t at all

Fiona @fionadean.bsky.social · 15h

Thank you Sue. I’ve taken Archie for a walk in the rain, watched him play in the stream. Now we’re home and everyone else has gone out 😊

Fiona @fionadean.bsky.social · 17h

I’m feeling very out of sorts as I was having a nice lie in when D started hoovering 🤦‍♀️

Need to find a way to recover my equilibrium 😔

Fiona @fionadean.bsky.social · 18h

Does sound a bit… odd 🤔

Fiona @fionadean.bsky.social · 18h

Morning Sue, hope you’re ok today

Fiona @fionadean.bsky.social · 18h

Actual lentils or just lentil flour?
