Last year, Mr Elephant was largely ignored to begin with.
His luck ran out though, and he found himself being cruelly and brutally dismembered, piece by piece.

Ollie has a new friend, Stanley the Sheep.
He’s being very kind to him so far. This may or may not last, as previously murdered stuffed animals will testify.

It’s a very cold morning here 🥶 but my fire has been going all night and it’s toasty in the boat. 🤗🔥
I like these thick frosts. Ollie comes in with clean feet. ☕️

It might be sunny, but it’s bitterly cold out there. 🥶
Poor Ollie got me up at 3. He had a bad tum and had to go out immediately, which meant I had to go out in just knickers and a long T-shirt.
There’s some men outside in orange overalls revving chainsaws. I haven’t got a clue what they’re doing.

It’s a cold, wet, horrible day here, but the Swan Family looked happy enough when I encountered them just now on my water run. 💜
The one who had the fishing line ordeal on Saturday was in front and confidently leading the way to wherever they were going. 🤗

Not a nice day out there today and I have boat jobs to do that involve going outside. 😤
Actually, I've just decided not to do most of them. 👸🏻🍷👍🏻

Happy Friday.
It’s another very cold morning and I’ve had another of my 13 hour sleeps, so I’m waiting for my fire to get going again. 🔥🥶
I like to be up a lot earlier than this at this time of year, when lunchtime means the day is almost gone.
At least it’s sunny! 🌞 That keeps the S.A.D. at bay.

It's -2°C this morning. 🥶 I like it when it's frozen. It means Ollie's feet aren't muddy when he comes in.
I'm very much hibernating right now. Like a squirrel. Except squirrels mostly don't have a woodburner and supplies ordered online brought to them. 👸🏻

The Swan Family cygnets saw me and came over this afternoon. 😍
Don’t know where Mum and Dad were, but it’s fantastic to see all four of them looking well and confident after the ordeal one of them had on Saturday.

On this date last year, Ollie, Seren and I woke up to some wonderful snow. ☃️
I was hoping for the same today, but it’s not to be. 😤 The snow isn’t too far away though. Hopefully we will get some! 🤞🏻

Morning. ☕️
6 years ago I was being told I was ruining my life. A lot of grim stuff was said to me, and I’ve since proved it all wrong.
I’m not the weak little person I or they thought I was.
I’m going to keep pushing upwards. 2026 is going to see me do stuff I used to think was impossible for me.

🚨 Major drama here! 🚨
One of the swan babies got a fishing hook stuck in his mouth and was dragging a nylon line and a load of reeds/sticks behind. 😭
Thankfully these brilliant ladies from MK Swan Rescue were quick to the scene and the baby is back with the Swan Family, who all seem happy now! 💜👍🏻

Happy Saturday. ☕️
It feels very winter today. I don’t think it’s cold, but the temperature is due to plummet this week and some people are talking about snow.
Ollie got me up at 3. 🥱 The overflow weir was doing its job and making a loud noise, dealing with all the excess water that fell yesterday.

Storm Claudia pretty much writes off today, but yesterday I embarked on a voyage into the village.
Ollie didn’t get me up until 8 today. I think he left it as late as possible because it’s chucking down outside. We went out and got soaked, now I’m back in bed with the fire on. ☕️🔥👍🏻

This is the first photo taken with my new laptop and also its first BlueSky post.
I was going to move the boat this morning, but the weather forecast has changed overnight. Looks like a long rainy spell is here, so I'll be staying put for the foreseeable.

Ollie and I have leftover Sunday dinner for our breakfast. 😋 I cooked far too much yesterday. 😅
Today my new laptop arrives. 🤓💪🏻 I’m very good at killing laptops. Hopefully this one will live long enough for me to finish The Great Transgender Werewolf Massacre.

It’s a misty morning here. Ollie had me up and out at 4:50. His body clock is gradually moving towards GMT.
Today is all about Sunday roast and resting. I might get a bottle of wine. 💃🏻🍷

Today is rather huge. I might hear something I’ve wished for all my life.
By lunchtime I will either be elated like never before or utterly devastated.
No going back now. This fateful day has started. I am about to find out which one of two ways the gods have decided to send me.

Today I have one boat job (fetching water) and one minute’s worth of adulting, which should end a very stressful episode. 🤞🏻
I’m messing about with where to put my camera for my online consultation. Possibly regretting painting that window red, but I do like the infernal demon look. 👹👍🏻

Absolutely no adulting for me today. 💃🏻 I have won a major existential battle and deserve a peaceful time. 🍷
I'm really loving watching this place change through autumn 🌞🍂 and am quite looking forward to the winter now. ☃️
