  Me and and my Screaming Homer Simpson bag* heading off to the #brocante (junk sale) (*Cost £4 a decade ago and carries my groceries weekly: THE BEST BAG. Brings me joy every time I look at it. Marie Kondo is right: own stuff that brings you joy..) Jewelry is all my own, little green bag I sewed leaf and bee appliques to. Denim with a sturdy metal buckle, so should have that for years too. #PhotoOfTheDay #MyStuff #selfie

  Yesterday in sunsets. Watching the skies change all through the walk. It was so pretty, I missed the time and Lusha's playdate with B the puppy. Got home to find there's a new wildfire over there (20km away) 😬 (As of this morning, fire is out) #sunset #skyline #landscape #PhotoOfTheDay

  A random guy pulled over, asked for directions to the supermarket. Me: *points* "Go right, right, then straight on" I continue walking up the alley. Which is too small for a car to fit. Exit alley. Loiter a bit. Car has disappeared. He.. went straight on. The opposite direction to me pointing.. 😂

  LOL *now* I know why garage sale guy threw in the soap dish for free.. 5 eur jacket came out of the wash. Discovered zip didn't work - sides kept unzipping. (Nothing visibly broken - I checked before buying) But if zip is metal, it's repairable! You will need: eyes, brain, thin nose pliers: Check: - Any teeth missing? (Zip needs replacing) - Any teeth slightly bent? - Zipper - any part of it bent? (bingo on 3) A slight crimp with my long nose jewelry pliers, and voila!...

  What a difference some rain makes. Yesterday we walked by the river, which was nicely replenished. The sussurous rush of fast flowing water. Smell of damp forest. Dried out moss instantly springing back into life. Today: a green fuzz over the dry dead grass pastures. Dragon's breath clouds rising over the hills. Blackberries suddenly appearing everywhere. #nature #drought #petrichor

  #SilentSunday I did stagger out on a short dog walk. We found blackberries, the second spot were actually ripe. In mid-July. #blackberries #ClimateChange #fruit #nature #plantstodon

  #caturday I'd say this kitten is malfunctioning, but this is just Regular Pepper Behaviour. (They are nearly a year old and still so small! Both tinier than Bluebell. The feral colony produces Tiny Female Cats. Mutation? Inbreeding?) #CatsOfMastodon #BlackCats #kitten

  Oh, this so Not Cool in every sense of the term. I'm in France. In an "extreme" heatwave. It's "only" 35C in my location, and yet: (Deep breath, about to say the most bonkers yet technically true sentence in my life: It is only 2 degrees hotter here than *parts of Siberia* 🫩 :hurb: *Scrolls down, stares in Horror at N Africa, Iran and the Gulf States*(worse) Here's the GIS map I'm playing with: https://zoom.earth/maps/temperature/#view=58.7,38.7,4z/mod...

  Well this has never happened before.. We got a full on formal cow parade. 10 mins of them slowly walking with us, until they ran out of field. (Was it the dog, the bell, or just Hey this is interesting! Wait, I'm just following you guys?!) 🐕‍🦺🔔😂🐄🐄🐄 #hiking #animals #DogWalk #cowstodon #DogsOfMastodon #CowsOfMastodon #FunnyAnimals

  It's #WhiskersWednesday and Bluebell is unimpressed. Maybe I yawn at things, maybe I scream at them. Biting is also an option. #CatsOfMastodon #cat

  The Horrors may persist, but today I got to walk the dog in sunshine and (light) 🌨️🌦️ snow showers. The Good Snow™️ Little dry flecks dancing in the wind. Came back feeling refreshed, if more exhausted. Tomorrow is another day. With more demands.

  #Photooftheday Ford across a small river (Millevaches, France) Most of them have wooden footbridges, or the traditional ones made from giant chunky rocks balanced on other rocks. (Or the "livestock wall that's also a bridge" variant. Super-fun to tiptoe across without losing balance 😅) #landscape #river #water

  #SilentSunday down by the river. I never realised this part was public before.. Further down are some rapids, a 1 km stretch fenced off nature reserve, and a fish farm. #landscape #river #water #DogSwimming
