It won't pay my bills either, but isn't life richer for this kind of detail? 😊
i came across the saying "to follow like a Tantony pig" so I get curious and look it up, but Tantony isnt a place, it's a contraction of St Anthony who is the saint of swineherds, so the proverb means to follow someone like a pig following the hog messiah. alas this information will not pay my bills

Spent the morning in tears, on and off. Did some painting, felt better. A short story.

Just finished reading @herdyshepherd.bsky.social "The Place of Tides". A beautiful book, but now sat watching the rain streaming down the window as tears stream down my face asking myself if I'm making any kind of positive difference to the world, however small.

Hello down there! I seem to be a little bit stuck. Any chance you have a ladder long enough to come and get me? Of course I'll co-operate, and not try and escape along a branch not strong enough for my weight, or cling fiercely to the tree with every fibre of my being when you try and pick me up.

For the record, scrapping indefinite leave to remain and deporting people is wrong *not* because it hasn't been costed properly, or the "figures are wrong" but because it's a disgraceful, immoral, inhumane, idiotic thing to do. And appeals to racist shitgibbons.

The boy's in Yr9 now, so time for teachers to knuckle down and make sure the kids really hate English literature. 13 year old boys are definitely interested in Jane Eyre and An Inspector Calls. Or Ann In Spectacles as we now call it. Husband does love a pun.

All the wanging on about how the liberal left are the violent ones reminds me of Rimmer in Red Dwarf, mocking liberals, "The time for talking is over. Call it extreme if you like, but I propose we hit it hard and hit it fast with a major - and I mean major - leaflet campaign"

Reasonably happy with my use of my bank holiday Monday. Would rather be there in person than drawing it from the Fens, but you can't have everything!

I didn't quite get the same angle in April and August, but I still rather like the contrast of blossom then sloes and the treeless branches in Spring being lush green in Summer
