Thanks @DuncinToffee.
No new squirrels for tax I'm afraid so back to the cats. Lenny's expression says it all really...

Thank you very much @DuncinToffee. It only feels like a couple of days since the last tax payment.

Not mine obviously but how adorable are these five?

.Grazie tante.

Felice di chiacchierare in italiano. Sappiamo che le lingue straniere sono come la kryptonite per i mordi e fuggi. 😎

Sorry!

Lovely :) You have more patience than I do. I always wonder why I put myself through it when I attempt counted stitching.

I'm just resting my hands from some traditional crewel work. That flower, on the right, that I'm currently working on is getting quite dense due to all the ends that need dealing with and pulling the needle through is becoming an effort!

My tax is a picture of the Castlewellan peace maze taken two years ago. We didn't get to the centre.

Ah that's lovely. That's real talent :). I am crap at sewing but I really enjoy cross stitching or "sewing by numbers" as I call it. I find it so relaxing. I do have some embroidery kits which I am planning on doing when I get the time.

I have a tendency to get quite tense and a bit twitchy with it and this calms that right down. Even when I'm having to tug rough wool through a thick mat of more rough wool as neatly and accurately as possible! I've had to call it a day because what little useful light there was has gone, now.

dontcallmelen · 06/02/2026 16:37

Pickachew that is so lovely you are very talented.

Absolute scenes in the Supreme Court. Someone has very much let themselves down.

Cat tax paid, though said cat has been banished from the cafe where he normally resides as he was not behaving well enough.

cos-play priest Calvin Robinson appears to have been ordained into another church. This time the English Catholic Church. Which, as far as I can tell, seems to be neither English nor Catholic.

I will say something for all these grifters. It’s been an education. I had no idea there were so many tiny sects of the Anglican Church.

Reform UK just broke electoral law in Gorton and Denton

People across the constituency thought they were getting a letter from a concerned pensioner, they didn’t know she was working for Reform
