You know you've raised your toddler on (maybe?) too many of the @thelongestjohns.bsky.social sea shanties when he comes from nursery and ask for "tea... and RUM"

Keep seeing people upset about the “Mansion Tax” potentially ruining their retirement, there’s actually a very simple solution for you: you need to stop getting lattes from Starbucks, cancel your Netflix subscription and gym membership, oh and stop having avocados.

Expectations vs Reality.
Wood ducks are cavity nesters and frequently use nest boxes. After the ducklings hatch, the next day, after the female ensures it is safe, the ducklings jump out of the box to start their adventurous life. Photos taken in my yard. #Birdoftheday theme #takeoff 🪶

Trains seem to shake poems out of me - maybe it's the enforced stillness with just my thoughts and nothing to be doing.

Day 93 - Lovely day with the boy, and when @vickycalleway.bsky.social was finishing work he asked to see the ducks.
Bundled off for a drive to Fishbourne Meadows; fed the ducks, had a paddle, had a pint of ESB - what a perfect summers evening!
