Starting the festivities appropriately, I feel 😹
A pint glass of amber ale with a thick, creamy head sits on a coaster next to a BrewDog “Shore Leave” Amber Ale bottle on a polished wooden table, with a softly blurred living‑room background. That’ll do!

If anyone’s after some last-minute mistletoe, there’s plenty of it here! Just bring a fireman’s ladder 😹#Szczecin
Tall, mostly bare winter tree seen from below against a grey sky, its branches cheerfully decorated with plump green clumps of mistletoe - nature’s own festive baubles, thoughtfully hung far out of reach of any would-be kissers.

Another beautiful sunrise - today’s is all purply 😺 #Szczecin
Silhouette of Szczecin city skyline at sunrise: dark church spires and leafless trees stand against a glowing sky that glows from warm orange near the horizon to soft pink and purple above. A few building windows and street lamps are lit below, adding small points of light.

😡In a final vote, the European Parliament stripped away remaining environmental safeguards in EU farm policy.

Two rushed “simplifications” gutted years of progress, giving Big Agri what it wanted: public money to pollute, no strings attached.

Here’s what we lost ⬇️

I'd like to chat to one or two people, ideally women (I've already talked to a load of men) who've got into the Merlin app for identifying birdsong this year. For a nice positive story. Please drop me a line, thank you!

Where I live I never get to see the sunset as it’s always behind tall buildings but since they built a hotel a couple of blocks away I at least get the reflection in winter 😻 #Szczecin
Warm sunset light glows on a modern hotel in the background, its glass façade reflecting fiery orange and gold tones, while older pastel-coloured tenement buildings and a church, and bare winter trees stand quietly in the foreground under a soft evening sky.

Gosh! Is that the time already?
No.

A close-up of a ginger tom cat looming into the camera with huge pleading eyes, performing his daily ‘I’m definitely starving’ routine, despite the inconvenient fact that dinner isn’t for another hour.

How do I organise things here so I don’t see any posts for American football? The only football I want to see is the one that actually involves feet and balls hahaha 😸

If you’ve never been to the Alps in Slovenia I can thoroughly recommend them. As evidenced by this photo! 😺

A large ginger tom looks expectantly into the camera at close range. He is expecting his dinner.

This film caused no end of confusion for me when I was a student in France. I had no idea that film titles could be translated differently & spent ages wondering what that Vietnam War film with Robert de Niro that was called ‘Voyage au bout de l’enfer’ (Journey to the Depths of Hell) could be 😹

Good morning, all! 😺 As the sun is fighting its way over the horizon on another dull day here, please take a second or two to imagine the sunshine of a few days back and say hello to my friend the Willow in the park who’s looking resplendent in their winter outfit #ThickTrunkTuesday
A tall White Willow stands on a frosty green meadow, its soft, twiggy branches catching the morning sun against a clear blue sky. The tree’s wide, graceful shape gives it a calm, welcoming presence at the edge of the quiet woodland.

Christmas Market at the Castle of the Pomeranian Dukes in #Szczecin, Poland. Performances, and lots of local foods and products, from cheeses to honey and proper mulled wine round a roaring fire 😺
A lively Christmas market set in a castle courtyard at night, with warm fairy lights draped across the old buildings. People wander between stalls on the wet cobblestones, and a small open fire glows in the foreground where a boy stands warming his hands. Colourful lights on trees and façades add a festive sparkle to the scene.

Pumpkin! Do you mind? There’s some very serious business going on! 😹 #GinjaBoiz
A ginger and white tabby cat is lying upside down on top of a large white plastic brewing bucket with colorful "BA”labels (for BrowAmator - BrewAmateur) and a tap at the bottom.

As Święty Mikołaj (St Nicholas) has been busy delivering small gifts to good Polish children overnight, here’s a special 6 December #PostboxSaturday from Bydgoszcz, where kids can drop off their letters on the square 😺
A brightly lit, oversized festive post box glowing in red and white on a winter evening in Bydgoszcz, Poland. The front features a cheerful cartoon Santa reading children’s letters, surrounded by stacks of envelopes. The decoration is trimmed with twinkling lights and star shapes, giving it a warm, Christmassy feel. A side view of the illuminated Christmas post box in Bydgoszcz, covered in red and white lights with glowing star decorations. A young child, bundled up in winter clothes, reaches towards the Santa illustration while an adult stands close by. Historic buildings and soft street lighting create a cosy festive atmosphere in the background.

I eat twice a day so I am doing much better than many people. Pls give to your local foodbank if you possibly can. Many people are literally starving.

‘I thought, let’s just drink water this week. I know I can survive a few days without food.’

No one should be left in a situation like this. But this winter thousands of people will be driven to the doors of food banks.

Don’t you love it when their little paws are tucked in like this? 😻#GinjaBoiz
A close-up photo of a ginger tabby cat with white markings on its chest and paws, lying on a soft cream-coloured blanket. The cat is facing slightly to the left, with relaxed ears, bright round eyes, and a calm, gentle expression. A dark sofa and a striped cushion are blurred in the background.

If anybody has any insight about why the UK supported the proposal to downlist the Peregrine, I’d love to hear it.
