Went for a walk round a graveyard on my own 👻 in the moonlight 🌜 saw a bat 🦇 got soaked with rain 🌧 and now I just need to cast a spell that wards children off approaching my house for my #Halloween task list to be complete 🧙‍♀️

It's true 🙃

There are some whopping big 'shrooms out at the mo #fungi #guernsey

Good riddance to the last of the dubious electrical sockets in my house 🫡 another coat of paint later and that will be another job done 👍

Officially on holiday.

Please can we have a "Cunk on Farming" series? 🐷🐮🐔🐙

I nearly forgot, but thankfully didn't
.. lunar eclipse above Herm 🌚 It looked way better with my eyes than via photos, but I'm sure lots of people will have captured good images. A cloud has covered over now, which I'm hoping means the bad omens don't count and the crops will be fine 😆

Before and after (nearly 3 years after!). The hedge is still a work in progress, but the rotten soffits have been replaced, the house has been patched up and painted and the drain pipework has now all been lined and/or replaced. I am ready for you this year, winter! 🤠

I really enjoyed the BBC series, Human 👍 So much more is known about our evolution now compared with when I was at school, thanks to archaeologists around the world, and that knowledge will only keep on growing!

Dear old outside light, it's time to say goodbye to your spot on the wall, which has been taken up by your (less flaky) replacement that has been waiting for about a year for its time to shine (in a box in my garage). A long awaited changing of the guard 😄

I saw a hare for the first time in my life (42 years and counting) on a trip to Ireland in May 🐇 We don't have hares in Guernsey, so it was extra exciting for me 🤩

Did it have a big chip on its shoulder?

I'm a bit worried that if the chap doing work on my house fits much more in this tonne bag it might distort the space-time continuum! 😆 Top score in tonne bag tetris🏆

The local bees don't know about #30DaysWild, but they've definately heard about my no-mow lawn - absolutely loads have come to visit now its in full flower! 🐝

Enjoyed my short, rainy trip to Ireland 🥔 1 night in Slane, 1 in Carlingford and 2 in Dublin 🇮🇪 no leprechaun sightings, but lots of nice scenery 🍀

I think pond liner might work best... I wonder if anyone has an offcut...

Quite pleased with how my latest pallet planter has turned out 🤩 worth all the sawing effort! I just need to fill in the bits I missed painting and then work out how to line it (it's due to be an aquatic planter) 🌿

The sky over Rousse at high tide looked too good to cycle on home without stopping to get a snap this eve #Guernsey

Je suis ches vouz... and Minnie has been giving me the "where are my usual humans and what if this one doesn't know I need treats every day?" look 🙀

I had a look round there yesterday afternoon (and at the finds in the museum today) - I learned that you have far more patience than I do 😅

Happy 80th Liberation Day! #Guernsey 🇬🇬 #Jersey 🇯🇪 #NothingToDoWithTrump

#NoMowMay posts have reminded me to provide an update on my no mow (ever) lawn. It's looking lush and starting to flower ☘️ The clover has pushed out some of the thyme but the chamomile is holding its ground 👍 I have to keep pulling out grass 👎 (also, I need some sort of "hedge in progress" sign 😅)

It looks like it's missing the end of it's tail 😼

Or not buying meat at all.... but yes, voting with our feet and our wallets is a good way to voice our opinions

Stop Cruel Imports | UK animal welfare Stop Cruel Imports petition calls the UK Government to require imported animal products to meet the UK animal welfare standards.

We import animal products from all over the world into #Guernsey. I wonder what kind of life (and death) all those animals had? www.stopcruelimports.uk

I went to an interesting talk at the Creux es fees dolmen today (put on by La Société)... I confess my mind wandered during the bit about the beaker period, but I think I still took most if it in 😅 www.megalithicguernsey.co.uk/creux-es-fees/

Marcus can do it

I didn't realise they were uncommon in our part of the world... interesting! I wonder why noone else around here has them (any more) 🤔

I'm pleased to see this news 👍

I had forgotten - thanks for the reminder - it's as entertaining on second reading as it was first time round 😆 Women, know your place! Which, of course, is wherever you want it to be 🙃
