Well done Brazil!

85% count Lula at 51.4 Bolsanaro at 48.6 😁

Still horribly windy here, nearly got blown into the road at one point when I took the dogs out so dread to think what it's like elsewhere.

How is it possible that anyone is considering yet more reliance on tech using AI and increasing data centres is a good idea with the way the world is now. A snip of an undersea cable, hacking, energy supply vulnerability not to mention attacks on data centres in a war scenario.

BBC Radio 4’s You and Yours is a lifeline for consumers facing scams, rising bills, and bad service. Now it's under threat. We can't let them axe this vital public service or hide it online where vulnerable people lose access. Please add your name to save it: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

Last day of the pottery course this week. So while waiting for them to be fired after we glazed them, knitting a few brussels sprouts and Santa hats to avoid the million and one things I should be doing instead. Of course. 😁

We have until Thursday 29th October to stop Thames Water from being bailed out yet again at our expense Andy Burnham, block the bailout, remove their licence, TAKE IT BACK. Sign the petition 👇 weownit.org.uk/act-now/tham...

Discussion on LBC was about driverless taxis and jobs. Tech answer is UBI so pay a population to do nothing. Scary thought as it progressed but no one mentioned for me was when the majority of a population is unemployed and ultimately draining profits, what does a country need it's population for?

This!

Sky wants to take over ITV. It could mean 86% of the UK's news run by either the BBC or Sky & spell disaster for UK media. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy is thinking about intervening - tell her to stick to her guns & stop this deal. Sign the petition now: 38d.gs/xvqd

🦔 A man has been summoned to court over alleged theft of a bronze hedgehog sculpture worth £7,000. Steal a bronze hedgehog & you could end up in court. Destroy a living hedgehog's habitat & the law may offer far less protection. The irony is as sharp as its spines. 🦔 change.org/hedgehogpeti...

Did The White House order in a crate of ketchup for the Peace Prize announcement?

That's me hooked on doing jigsaws then 😂

FFS! Windsor gets £300,000 of our money. 😡😡😡

Spent some time between the rain showers cat proofing the cat proof hedgehog feeding station after catching this on the camera. 🙄 I love all critters but cats really do piss me off when it comes to protecting our wildlife. No cat pics last night, hope it stays that way. 😠

Hurrah! Managed to throw a couple of decent bowl shapes in today's bowl throwing class in spite of finger wound. The Boots dressing strips held up remarkably well.

Not done a jigsaw in years but had to go to Boots for better finger wound supplies and popped into a few charity shops looking for another hedgehog food bowl. Chap turned up with a load of puzzles so got one seeing as I can't do much else while trying to make sure finger is healing for pottery class

Damn! Was planning to try a couple more pots this morning after taking down the sun shades and managed to cut a deep v shape in my finger. Blood dripping everywhere and now a very throby hurty finger. Annoyed with myself now. 😠

American artist David Popa creates breathtaking masterpieces on floating ice in the Baltic Sea, using nothing but charcoal, soil, and water as his “paint.” His artwork slowly disappears as the ice melts: #AGoodPlace

All trimmed and ready to dry and fire.

Pottery throwing lesson yesterday was how to trim partially dry pots, that has to be the most enjoyable and satisfying thing I've done in ages. Akin to the one and only time I had a go at wood turning.

I hate rip off pricing, noticed when I went to the garden centre to get barley straw for hedgehog house. Barley straw in nets to clear green pond water £16, roughly the same quantity in a plastic bag for pet bedding £1.99. Crazy!

Ah! No wonder Hodgeheg seemed to be eating so much!

In my ongoing quest to help #SaveSquareChapelArts in Halifax, I’ve written a short poem. I do hope you like it. 🤞 If so… please repost. Thank you. x

Managed to get the new wifi camera set up to keep a close eye on Hodgeheg.

If you could take a minute to read this and, if it takes your fancy, then re-post it… I’d be so grateful. 🙏🏻 I’m doing my utmost to #SaveSquareChapelArts for the good people of Halifax & far beyond, and I need all the help you lovely lot can give me. Thank you! x www.canncomms.co.uk/post/actor-a...

Just got back from watching Sense and Sensibility with my friend at our lovely little cinema. Loved it, scenery/horses/wildlife is stunning and a fabulous cast. Well worth the £6. Extra nice having my friend back for a while as I so miss watching films with someone else.

Me looking potty! 😁

Phew! Hodgeheg vanished last night, no sign of it so rather concerned, then my neighbour turned up an hour ago having found it trying to get back through their gate. So now her husband has a job to do making a hole in our fence pronto, poor chap surrounded by us critter lovers. 😂

She grumped because she doesn't like the tarp I've got down for the potters wheel and it's too near her bed, then I got a dirty look because I walked in front of the sun shine. 😂

Oh for gods sake shut the fuck up you dreary insane thick turd! SOMEONE STOP HIM!!!!!!! It's artificial, artificial bloody artificial. USA stop him for all our sakes.

Plucked up the courage to start a pottery throwing course last week 😁. So set up the wheel my son got me today in the conservatory, still a bit rubbish but did get better at centering today at least.
