Elon stole my account. Starting all over again. Always woke, always European, not quite brave enough to start throwing milkshakes (yet). England UK

I try not to 😑
Tends to wash over me, but every so often they'll make a claim so outrageous it gets past my indifference & I actually start listening. It's a slippery old slope.
There's a reason for that. Do you make pom poms out of the fur balls?
Poor baby. They are very stoic though, seem to keep going & stay happy for much longer than we would. 💕
Can only speak for UK TV, but suspect you've missed nothing.
You can't beat a nice plateful of starchy carb 🍝
Dirty little devils 😈💩. You could try re-purposing them as spatzle makers. Just don't invite me round for dinner.
It's so long since I used imperial measurements for baking it just didn't register with me. But now you mention it... 🤔
You've cheered up my Thursday. Thank you pups.
Took me a while to work it out until I saw your alt text. Never seen them before. I asked David if they were some kind of gentleman's 'support'. He looked horrified.
Wrong!
Looks like she's auditioning for the shipwreck scene in Robinson Crusoe.
I read this as 'Welsh cockles' which takes me to a whole new level of horror.
Someone on the radio was saying that if you use nutmeg in your savoury dishes you should try switching to mace for an even better experience. Haven't tried yet.
Sorry, it was the 1lb of lard in the bara brith made me think of it.
Not laverbread 🤢! Lardy bread aka lardy cake, a delicious brick of fat & flour, spoiled only by bloody raisins😋😋
A whole year to recover. That's a lovely photo Cora.
Bit too heavy on the dried fruit for me, but you've got me thinking about a fruit-free lardy bread now.
I'm a 👎for raisins as well. At least sultanas are big enough to pick out & flick across the table. Funny enough, my Mum was very anti-spice (sigh), but the one she would use was nutmeg. Sadly, it never made it into her Welsh cakes.
Three resignations, at least one dodgy loan, shady passport application, distinctly iffy mates & a friend of Trump. Who'd ever have guessed Mandelson might be just a big old bucket of sleaze.
Found mine. It's a souvenir tea towel I use for covering food, but the recipe is pretty much how I remember my Mum's. I do have a Welsh recipe book somewhere, can't find it, so can't make a comparison. Yours look a bit more interesting.
Breaks my heart. Why do they have to go so young? You've got plenty of love & fun to come with Panther I'm sure. Greys seem to age pretty well.
We all know Johnson will sell his opinion & blubbery arse for the price of a roll of wallpaper, but not sure how Carrie feels about the whole submissive wife thing.
Not as easy as it looks.
The history side is great, & I always enjoy learning about a place when I move somewhere new. Sadly though, some people have nothing to cling to but past 'glories'. You can't sustain an economy & your family on WW2 & the Royal Family, but they try.
Same, McD's.
The warnings came too late for me.
I'm sure afternoon TV is designed to be a sedative.
Oink. Never realised Kirk was only 31. Hate can really age a person.
FINALLY. 👏👏👏
That would have been a brave choice for a first dog 😅. But yes, the lifespan is what always put me off the breed. I couldn't bear to lose dogs so young.
Nor those Minnesota shootings a few months ago. He's going to milk this for all it's worth though.
Beautiful. Bet her face was a picture.
We try & avoid the biscuit aisle. End up at the bakery counter instead.
He watches Ancient Aliens with my husband every afternoon 😂.
My grandmother's way of enticing the family doctor to make house calls, pre-NHS. "Hello Mrs Evans, do I smell Welsh cakes?"
Oh wouldn't that be great.
Should I send thoughts & prayers? Nah, fuck that.
Oooo. Me too?
That's it, exactly! Remember it as starting with something that sounded like "cursgy", & always spoken in a slightly throaty, venomous manner. She applied it to chancers. It was not meant kindly.
Take it to HR Beth.
Oh sweetie, sometimes things are confusing, but they can still be joyful. Have a lovely Wednesday.
Oh? I'm surprised. Mine are delightful. Not. I will have my revenge at renewal time. Bunch of chisellers 😖.
There's always that to consider😂. Do you think the insurance might refuse to pay out? Incitement/provocation/act of war. Wouldn't put it past the bastards.
My Mum had a saying (in Welsh, can't reproduce it) that she translated as "sleeping like a butcher's dog". Always one eye open. Don't know if it was unique to her or well known, but I'm adopting the technique.
Well you can't just post that & not tell the story!
Well 'some' people will believe anything they're told. A lot of them seem to live in Norfolk.
There's just never been a flag flying thing in the UK. Maybe a tatty old rag pulled out from the back of a drawer when the football's on. Suddenly this. All instigated by bullies & racists who don't get anything like enough pushback.
Took Herbie on a new walk today. He wants you all to know that the earth really is flat. #greyhounds
Today. Village in Lowe’s Yarmouth constituency. Pop 4k & one of the whitest places you'll ever come across. Patriotism? They're marking their turf, making sure ‘immigrants’ feel threatened & excluded. Hope they remember who is coming to the nearby resorts to spend money & who staffs their hospital
Wow! I thought Herbie got stressy at the vet. Poor Hunter, smart collar though (did wonder about the music 🤔).
Dear God, it's getting worse 😭
NO treats for greedy boys & girls, 2 legs or four! I can be strict when needed.
Trust a greyhound to complicate things. Get well soon Hunter.
Thank you. I've never tried bsky on desktop, just tap away at the teeny tiny phone keyboard. Is the desktop version nicer to use?
Four paws off the floors? That's some celebration. Look after your hoomom Cora and wish her a happy birthday from Herbie's mum.
My husband said exactly the same when I showed him. Nice to know where some people's focus lies 🎁🍭
I did wonder.
"Comin' over here, taking our jobs!" bsky.app/profile/belf...
He's also a convicted thief, so not sure what job he's worried about. But it's OK, he's married with kids now, so he's got skin in the game. Only interested in keeping the kiddies safe. Almost respectable 🤣
Love Great Danes. They are such hopeless goofs. My parents neighbours had a GD when I was very young. Gorky or Gawky, never sure which. When they couldn't find me I was usually curled up with the dog.
Generous of you to let him share.
Poor sausage (both of them I guess). Will it take a while for the soreness to settle or is it meant to be removal = instant relief?
Really? God that sounds awful, didn't know they were deep rooted. Poor babies with corns.

You're back 🎇. Just woke up & saw your posts. If I could find a bunting emoji I'd hang it out. So glad Bluesky have solved the problem. Welcome back.
Norfolk, UK, one of the London retirement diaspora. I'm on the coast, so plenty of cold wind from the North Sea during the winter, but any snow tends to fall further inland. I think our squirrels have pretty much forgotten about hibernating.
It looks like it might be up to your standards Cora. Are Mum & Dad in the bunk beds?
Nearly Wednesday here & I only just remembered it was Tuesday. Don't be concerned Mr Finch, I can report that Tuesday will turn out OK, even if it did sneak up on you.
You're talking to your bread? My, you do need help. Can't say I'm finding it any worse than usual, personal names seem to confuse it, which I do find annoying.
Same in the UK for NHS appts. Private will usually still get you there faster, but even that is a bit hit & miss now. Hope some meds will sort you out & keep you going.
Hope the rest helps. Waiting lists are such a pain.
Putting your blankets away just as I'm thinking about getting mine out. 😢
Autopen. That's why he's so keen to call scandal on the Biden/autopen story. Wasn't me.
We might stick to the beach until the dangerous squirrels go to bed for the winter.
It's OK Herbs, it's OK. Nice Mr Fox says everything is fine.
Yep, they'll block Bluesky access for child protection reasons but still allow your Daddy to marry you off at 10.
🛫🎵🎶🎵💃
Oh hey @quindimarlena.bsky.social Gérard Butler put in another appearance, with a slightly amended account name. Gotta love a trier😂. But big news is, he was joined by Andre Rieu, master of the waltz😍. Am booking my ticket to Maastricht right now (also got a dominatrix, a first for me).
The Hyundai raid & this SCOTUS ruling leave me wondering how long it will be before non-citizens & asylum seekers will be forced to wear an identifying badge. Maybe say, a yellow star on their sleeve? Easy pick ups for ICE. Not just in the US, the poison is creeping through the UK & the EU as well.
Smart thinking! Glad you did.
Good deal!
Thank you so much for the update. I knew about her connection problems, but I was starting to worry a bit. If you get a chance to contact her again, please give her my regards & tell her I look forward to seeing her back on here. Thanks.
They say the rich forget their friends. Sigh.
I'm sure you're right. In fact I nose you are. Have a super week.
Perfect!
I expect you'll want to share with all your Bluesky followers?
He could lose a war with Greenland (pop. 57,000) 🙄
The chair is all yours Madame.
Herbie had to dodge the sweet chestnut prickly-balls & the falling acorns in the woods today. He thinks the squirrels were throwing them at him. He was quite relieved when we got to the meadow. #greyhounds
Quite apart from Tice going out to defend Farage's shady house purhcase and making things ten times worse, for the guy who says he will be the next UK Chancellor of the Exchequer to end on: "I'm not a tax expert - you're asking the wrong guy," is objectively hilarious. ~AA
Hello lovely Juju. Are the cheese wrappers a-rustling in the breeze?
Lot of bottles there Cora. You may as well lie down.
They wait their turn?
Ooh, worth the queue.
That is a picture of pure whippet misery 😂. Poor Cora.
Rude little monkeys. Ignore them Cora. Hope you've had a good trip.
