Sunday lunch. Roast pork with sage and onion stuffing. Lovely.

Good afternoon, all. After yesterday's rain, the Shire is bright and breezy. I hope you're having a grand weekend. ❤️🕊☮️

#Mastermind Johnnie Walker. Occupation, Bartender. Perfect.....

#OnlyConnect Jive Bunnies, Martin. Excellent hair and beard combo.

An ‘ultracrepidarian’ (19th century) is one who loves to give their opinion, at length, on matters they know nothing about.

As far as I can see, BBC News (UK), along with ITV News and Sky News, has given up on anything that might be identified as journalism. They are rubbish. As for Yvette Cooper rattling on about bunting and tablecloths. Jesus wept!!

As an old mod, clothes and particularly shoes are something of a religion. I have many, many pairs. All of them cherished friends. So, today has been difficult: under instruction, I have gone through every pair and "agreed" to send 11 to a local charity shop. 😂 #awayoflife

Farage is a grifting charlatan. He is a Putin apologist and was a regular guest on Russia Today TV. His treasonous Brexit continues to devastate our economy. He incited last years riots. He will tell you he's a patriot. He is the opposite. Don't believe a word he says.

Wednesday dinner. Paella rice cooked with peppers, paprika, and saffron. Served with chicken marinated in paprika and garlic. A #TomKerridge recipe that he cooked on a barbecue. I stayed indoors. It turned out very well.

Goodnight all. We've got tea and cake and last night's #GBBO to watch. I hope the day has treated you well. ☮️

Good morning, all. It's a dark, wet day in the Shire. To brighten the gloom, we have the world's most defiant pigeon. What rain!?! ❤️🕊

When you think of the thieving, corrupt, lying, duplicitous Tory and Reform scum bastards this country has had and still has leeching off us, the hounding of Angela is a stomach turning, sickening spectacle. Those bastards will not be forgotten. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Watching Mitchell and Webb are not helping. Will have to find something else to watch at 10 pm next Friday. #mitchellandwebbarenothelping

Aseem Malhotra speaking at the Reform Conference. He works as a "senior" advisor to Robert Kennedy, the man determined to drag America into the dark ages. His flawed, dangerous thinking can not be allowed to infect this country, too. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Good evening all. We're settling down with tea and biscuits to watch Miss Marple in the Caribbean. It's been a slow old day, and she suits the mood perfectly. I hope you're well and having a good day. ❤️🕊

Good afternoon, all. The Shire is wet and grey. A perfect day for a large lunch and a long nap. I hope you're having a good weekend. ❤️🕊☮️

It's wonderful to have him back. He's going to need the patience and perseverance of a Saint, but it's going to be great to watch. #FieldOfDreams #FreddieFlintoff #freddieflintoffsfieldofdreams #ultimatetest #bbcsport #andrewflintoff

Monday has been a play with 3 acts. Warm sunshine. Thunderstorm. Bright 'n' breezy. ❤️🕊

Well, Boris Johnson. Worst Prime Minister in history. Bent as a nine bob note. Who would have thought it? Who? theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/s…

Goodnight all. I'll see you again at the weekend. Take care. ❤️🕊☮️
