When you are stuck in bed-gaming mode because sitting up hurts too much, so your partner surprises you with fairy lights to brighten the view ❤️

Tiny birds were VERY ready for this feeder top up! Getting a dozen at a time but managed to capture a few.

Male and female pheasant stroll through to snack on whatever drops; haven’t gotten a photo of them yet.

And next door’s little black cat sits at a distance and watches them all

👋 What charity type are you?

(Don’t want my vote discarded on a technicality)

Health? Community?

Another attempt to make my spine behave.

I chose injections in both sides, despite the risk of both legs going wobbly for a day.

No legs got wobbly, I feel bruised, and maybe I will improve?

Also stopped for veggie sushi on the way home and got to see the beautiful moors en route. Adventures!

Trying to find ways to feel like myself again while I shake off the effects of the job I quit.

Today’s supporter package from @pmpress.bsky.social definitely helps! ❤️

Holly the nervous rescue cat used the stairs I set up for her* and took herself to bed before I was even done with work.

I miss Boy Cat so much but seeing Hols happy in a new place means a lot

*she is a bit of a mutant- smart and beautiful but has has short legs and isn’t great at jumping

Now that I’m no longer in Florida, have a tired and masked selfie of me there

In my opinion, yes

(They came back today and shared some beans and rice but I didn’t get a photo or video today)

Boy Cat was meant to have a minor procedure to help him be comfortable while we managed his slow growing cancer.

Unfortunately his wee heart stopped, and he died during the procedure.

My heart is broken.

For 12 years this lovely boy slept on my head.

I don't know how to face bedtime tonight...

Sure! Here's the label. I'm not sure if they are small because they didn't have amazing sun, or if they are just small. 2 year old tree.

Gorgeous!

Witness my entire apple harvest for the year (minus the ones that became pie a few weeks ago)

Young trees + corvids ate a lot. The little red ones taste divine tho!

I ate some bites before remembering the photo

Potato, onions, and salad from the garden. Chese, nutritional yeast flakes, dressing, and (fake) bacon from the shop.

Comfort food after another deeply stupid day.

The rain stopped but the wind is still pretty wild.

Here's the sky a little while ago (no edits or filters)

Manchego and bravas sauce purchased. The rest of dinner came from the garden

What poster did you have hanging on your wall as a child?

Well, a young teen anyway... as a child I was obsessed with rainbows and maps #neurospicy

I heard you needed a timeline cleanse

Here's Holly, peeking over her couch, realising that her nemesis has been released from his long confinement and is EATING HER FOOD

This is hilarious and needs the full alt text

Went to get dinner from the garden and got so hyperfocussed chasing these beauties to get a photo that I stranded myself 50 paces from my stick 😅

(The red admiral butterflies are on a flowering mint plant. I should really do an infodump thread about mint...)
