Israel destroying an entire village in Lebanon has no contorted military justification. It is ethnic cleansing. They know residents have left these homes. They now have nothing to return to—an entire historic human settlement erased from the map.

Roast chicken on Sunday. Cold and curried on Monday. Chicken, garlic, cream, mushroom and tarragon pie tonight under my best ever super shortcrust pastry. A superb local free range chicken gat gave us four meals. Well worth the initial outlay and the time spent on those meals.

Trump one word? Ugly.

Trump won. The planet lost.

This is repugnant and shocking, so why is almost no-one reporting what the Israelis are doing in Lebanon, let alone in Gaza and the West Bank?

Well done the American majority. You just made your country a pariah state along with Russia. You just elected a delusional, ignorant, convicted criminal, racist, fascist, bankrupt, climate change denier, liar and philanderer as your leader to destroy the planet for cheap gas.

Oh you stupid, stupid, stupid, self centred, politically illiterate idiots. You have just voted for your own poverty, for exploitation by the likes of Musk, and the death of the planet. For vheap gas? Cheap burgers? You'll get inflation and exploitation and the country will burn

Did you forget the scones you said you'd bake ? Yup. Behold. Scones. Just like magic! Thank goodness for baking powder.

Well for a day that started in west Penwith with the cloud base at one metre off ground level that didn't finish too badly did it?

Is there any way I can stop having to see those sodding Temu ads every other post other than saying goodbye to Twitter?

Not a bad sunset this teatime....

And some interesting clouds to the north for a few minutes around sunset.

Which planet hating, rich (but not yet rich enough) misogynistic oaf will trump appoint tomorrow, I wonder? I can barely cope with listening to the news this last week.

I'm gone. Find me at adambotallack on Bluesky. Not supporting the muskrat any more.

Ok. So how do I find people I follow over on Bluesky?

Dear followers and followed. I'm off to Bluesky soon, so if you're there, find me at Adambotallack. If you're staying here then good luck but I'll taper off posts over the next couple of weeks and will cease altogether by xmas. Or should that be twittermass? I can't support musk.

Trump is a f**king sociopath, as are the ppl he has appointed. We are in for a horrific decade. Meanwhile the world burns.

Dear followers and followed. Enjoyed your company these last few years, but I'm now off to the blue place and not coming back here again. Way too toxic and run by a sociopathic madman.
