She is a most loving and faithful friend. Your dog has the same attentive, affectionate look. We are lucky to have such good little souls in our lives. ❤🐾

Our dogs are special. I love mine to bits, and always will. Here she is 7 years ago when she was tiny but her ears were very big!

It's as if Britain is in a massive state of denial. Public health information could do more but there is none. Hepa filters in schools would be a good first step, some children are getting long covid, and we should be protecting young people by enacting preventative measures.

I shall carry on wearing a mask in indoor situations, even though I seem to be the last mask wearer in Britain. People are more worried about getting cold in this country than they are about risking covid. At cafés I'm continually told that it's so warm indoors, and that I shouldn't be sitting out in the cold. Social pressure to conform isn't helping folks to stay well. My friend was persuaded to go on a coach holiday, she caught covid, her memory has not been at all good since.

1. Last French conversation session for couple of months, but for a good reason: everyone is off on their holidays.
2. It didn't rain today.
3. All washing done and dried outdoors, which is a minor miracle given the amount of rain that fell over the weekend.

1. Early morning walk after a night's heavy rain. Mist rising up from the valleys. Ethereal and timeless.
2. The grey cat purring himself to sleep, he's glad to be back in the dry after a day's rain.
3. The closing ceremony of the Paralympics. Lots of joy and achievement: the participants were amazing and the ceremonies have been stunning.

1. A rainy day so no plants needed watering.
2. Heard deer calling on the morning walk.
3. We enjoyed watching some of the Paralympics this afternoon.

1. Picked a few blackberries on our morning walk. Fluffy dog picked several, but ate them all.
2. I'm still enjoying learning German.
3. The weather was pleasant today: not too warm but not too chilly either.

Have a great day. My cat just shot into the house due to a thunder storm.

All rather medical today,
1. Husband's test results all ok. So several weeks of worry are over.
2. My front tooth that rather fell apart on Sunday has been repaired this afternoon.
3. The two young swallows are growing well. They were practicing flying and perching on the wire today. One is a bit wobbly still but improving. It's lovely to see them as last year none of the swallows' offspring survived. Insect levels must have been a bit better this year to feed them.

1. Found a red kite feather. Kites are nature's refuse disposal operatives, cleaning up carrion. They are stunning birds with their rufus red plumage.
2. Pets.
3. Fresh picked peas. Home grown.

Worshippers at the Abdullah Quilliam Mosque in Liverpool talked to demonstrators and shared food with them. The Mosque's Chair, Dr Abdul Hamid said that there were 'deep and beautiful' conversations (BBC news). He feels that not everyone will change, but 'positivity can spread like wildfire'. Some demonstrators were given a short tour of the Mosque. Dr Hamid shows us what wisdom and compassion can achieve, this is a good model for the rest of the UK. Hate must not win.

Dogs and cats definitely have their own personalities. They interact with us and they have very sensitive feelings.

1. Scotland's clean and beautiful rivers.
2. The friendliness of Scottish people.
3. Time to reflect rather than rush.

1. The electricity has just come back on after a power cut.
2. My fruit cake finished baking before the power cut began.
3. Checked my neighbour was ok. Like me she's puzzled by this as it was not a particularly windy day. Trees on the lines are the usual reason for power failures here. Anyway we had a chat which is always a good thing.
