It's really hard to describe what's going on here. Walter is a shih Tzu and here he is trying to bury a treat. Unfortunately for Walter he is not good at burying anything. Here he is on the sofa trying to nudge a blanket over the treat. The treat remains unburied but Walter has managed to get himself under the blanket instead of the treat.
Walter who is a Shih Tzu and also a wee dick has got himself tangled up in the sofa cover.
The view from my house in rural Co Down. Through the trees, the sun is setting. The colour of the sky graduates from orange through pink and blue. There are actually sun rays coming out from behind the clouds on the brow of the hill across from me. The clouds are scuffs of grey in the sky.

The painting 'Whistlejacket" by George Stubbs at the National Gallery. The painting is seen through the archway of the gallery in front of itramed by the arch. There are people walking around. Whistlejacket is an oil-on-canvas painting from about 1762 by the British artist George Stubbs showing the Marquess of Rockingham's racehorse approximately at life-size, rearing up against a plain background. The canvas is large, lacking any other content except some discreet shadows, and Stubbs has paid precise attention to the details of the horse's appearance. It has been described in The Independent as "a paradigm of the flawless beauty of an Arabian thoroughbred".

Went for a couple of afternoon pints earlier in one of my local Bangor boozers. While putting a few tunes on the jukebox, I couldn't believe my eyes when under 'Genres' they had a 'Loyalist' section with over 100 songs (such as "Men of the UDA", "Gibralter" and "We are the Billy Boys"). Could Donegans Bar kindly explain this please? You need to remove this sectarian racist shit now. [Image is of the screen of a digital jukebox with songs played by Loyalist flute bands.]
I have no idea who this man is but he is POURED into a suit that is definitely too small for him. His trousers are so tight I'm surprised he can talk. And they are so short, they stop halfway up his shins, showing off his delightful stars & stripes socks.
Winifred Carney (1887–1943) was born in Bangor, Co. Down to a Protestant father and Catholic mother, who divorced while she was young. She was brought up by her mother in Belfast. In her twenties she became involved in the suffragist movement and the Gaelic League, and became secretary of the Irish Textile Workers’ Union in Belfast, which was led by James Connolly. She became his close friend and personal secretary. Carney was a founding member of a Irish republican women’s paramilitary organisation, Cumann na mBan in Dublin. In 1916 she assisted Connolly in preparing for the Easter Rising and remained with him in the Dublin General Post Office until they surrendered. She was imprisoned, but released in the December of that year. In 1918 she stood as candidate for Sinn Féin for Belfast Victoria in the General Election, but polled badly and disillusioned she joined the Northern Ireland Labour Party in 1924. She was critical of partition, but continued working as a trade unionist seeking support from both sides of the sectarian divide. In 1928 she married George McBride (1898–1988) a Protestant, who was a textile engineer, member of the Ulster Volunteer Force and a socialist. They disagreed about Irish nationalism, but were happily married. In this statue Carney wears her 1916 uniform as Adjutant in the Irish Citizen Army. To one side of her is a typewriter, representing the one on which she typed Connolly’s despatches during the Easter Rising and on the other side she holds the Webley revolver, which she had with her throughout the rebellion. Winifred Carney and Mary Ann McCracken are the first non-royal, and republican, women to receive a statue in the grounds of Belfast City Hall.

(null) 2h So should there be riots and buring mans homes? Is that what is wanted ? What about the 71 men who have been killed since 2020? Do they get a march or talked about ? Or do white males not matter? Also out of the 30 women one was killed by her best friend who is a female..
