we printed him a little hat

the neighbours’ big feathery manchicken is sitting on the gravel of my drive like a round loaf
photo of a white plume moth that was on my kitchen window. it’s a strange little guy, very white and pale apart from its two black eyes and it has narrow feathery little wings. there are some pink foxglove flowers in the background
a wade whimsy ceramic hedgehog ornament that has a pleasing almost knitted looking texture
tiny wee ceramic critters
starkweather, clara, favorina and margot the hens are all up on my kitchen windowsill, staring through the glass at me
small brown dunnock with its beak open shouting about pan cat being visible in the garden. but pan is lying sleepily on my foot while i sit on a bench and he’s not trying to chase any birds
photo from a shop window with a display about some kind of maybe chocolatey alcohol called AGED BEET BRH*M which makes no sense to me. also visible is a bottle of something called BELGIAN OWL
flowers of different kinds and colours in a group below my kitchen window
pink alium flowers. i know dogs shouldn’t eat onion type things but i’m not worried. it was one flower and he’s a big beast
koru napping just out of the sun near some weeds
hux frozen mid walk across the grass because an unexpected noise has startled him. two feet are on the ground and two are in the air. the front airborne paw is curled over. he is very stripey and looks a bit like a mutant thylacine with hook hands
my beautiful miffy glass with a repeating pattern of miffy’s face all over it
fennel and pancat happily curled up asleep on the bed. i got a forehead lick blessing from fenris when i got back from my holiday
banner sign hanging of a large building that says MUNTPUNT
magritte painting of pig wearing a suit while standing in a cemetery. the pig is peeking at you over his shoulder with a knowing smirk. this is a suspicious pig
detail from painting i saw today titled The Fall of the Rebel Angels by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. it shows a chunky little being falling through the air with a face like a surprised or outraged cartoon beaver. the little guy’s body looks like a cross between a puffer fish and a solitary testicle
photo of a shop window display with a child’s yellow souvenir tshirt bearing an exceedingly horrid print. it’s a minion as the manneken pis from brussels holding its nastily little chunky minion weenus and peeing while it smiles and stares at itself
photo from the manneken pis museum in brussels where they have dozens of reproduction mannekens dressed up in costumes from around the world. this one has a tartan jacket and 2 big thistle medallions around his neck which is pretty standard as outfits go back home
tag yourself photo of a window display of small model people and farm animals like a kid would have in a farm set. except there’s a huge crowd of them with some houses in the background and they don’t really look like toys because there are far too many peasants, which child wants that many toy peasants. maybe it’s for strange adults who want to create a busy rustic village scene for reasons i can’t fathom. the shop also or mainly sold model soldiers and those are pretty odd too
photo of a jar of new plant based nutella JUST FOR ME thank you oh thank you
huge arched stained glass window in cologne cathedral. the panes are made up of tiny squares of all different glowing bright colours arranged randomly. it’s very beautiful
upright meerkat looking wistful
köln/cologne cathedral with twin spires. it is huge and ornate and looms over anyone standing at the base of it
very tall twin spires of köln cathedral reaching up into a blue sky. it looks preposterously massive and pointy and is covered in all kinds of gothic + intricate decorations
3d little kangaroo shaped crisps
a bag of jumpys which are kangaroo shaped crisps
detail from ornate moulded metal doors on the cathedral in Köln. it’s a little person ringing 2 handbells. their top half is human but their bottom half is mystery creature with hoof feet and a flowing tail

fenris, amadeus hux and pan all lying in a close huddle on the bed
midgie hand looking a bit weird i think
nasty wee ornament of a small pixieish man who looks like nigel farage
white and black amadeus on the grass between my feet. i’m wearing black and white trainer things
baldy sheep in a pen next to my house. they are hanging out chewing on the long grass and yelling at each other and the world
koru is looking happily at a chunky chip being held out to him
my timeline with a kickstarter link for The Return of Smut Peddler and underneath greg says he heard i was reading bad books
koru is lying on his side on a rug. he is giving the camera A Look
hux’s tail has 2 large gold coloured hoop earrings threaded on to it for special fanciness. i took them off again before he could notice and feel tampered with
koru lying down in the garden looking clean and fluffy
4 cats asleep near each other on a bed: amadeus, fenris, pan and hux. there’s still space for more
photo of my new small german phrasebook
screenshot of news story from bbc that says “First dinosaur bone from Antarctica found in a drawer”
pan cat has a shaggy grey 80s wig draped over his head with a fringe coming down into his eyes. the wig is fenris’s tail and flowing butt locks. pan is very happy with all of this
hux on the bed with his tongue sticking out trying to eat a bit of pale cat fluff
tall birch tree with its branches blowing in the wind. there’s a swirl of white cloud in a blue sky behind it
very close of photo of koru smiling happily at the camera. he took a selfie
bumblebee going into the pinky purple cup of a foxglove flowery. its wings are out and you can see the veining patterns on them
view out of my window of the morning sky as a haar clears. in the foreground is my garden fence, then a bit of land left to run wild that’s full of flowering grasses and beyond that a neat farmed field. there’s a stone built farm building to the left. trees in the background are pale and mist covered
hux and fenris now sitting exactly where pan and amadeus had been in the earlier photo
a pink post it note covered with 4 wee pencil sketches of hux who is a stripey orange cat. the sketches are in panels numbered 1-4. at the bottom it says ‘there is no punchline there is only Hux’
pan and amadeus sitting in the middle of my very overgrown weedy garden which looks almost like i meant it to be that way in the evening sunshine
my blurry photo of the moon which is looking very orange
hux has impulsively flailed and contorted himself into a strange shape with one leg in the air and one ear folded almost inside out. the rest of his head is not in the photo
hux is lying on my shoes on the grass and looking up at the camera
blackbird amongst the weeds with a seed in its mouth. looks kind of studious
the thermometer baby is laughing with joy because it’s 26°c
small digital thermometer reading 24.5°c and 64% humidity. the display has a graphic of a delighted evil baby whose expression changes depending on the mix of temp and humidity. it prefers sauna conditions. the temperature is higher now than when i took the photo i am being boiled slowly.
various containers with flowers blooming outside my kitchen window. lots of green and lots of bright colours. one of the plants is a tall foxglove that i grew from some seeds i gathered in the woods near my house. there’s a grey hosepipe in the corner because i didn’t wind it back up after watering the plants i don’t like that job
koru and the camera are both looking over to my outbuilding door to see if we can spot the resident swallows going in and out. it’s sunny! at last! we’re both sitting on a scaffy bench outside my kitchen door. i’m not fast enough at taking photos to catch them the swallows as they swoop in at approximately 3 million mph
