Andrew has worked it out. (edited twice)

 I won't be adding my two pennuth to this shambles. Andrew says it all.  

If you want a chuckle read the 1171 comments on yoootooob. 
The haters will be peeing their pants with excitement. 
Have a good weekend. 
Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip. 

EDIT.
Andy Burnham will be PM next week, another darling of the WEF. His mayoral ‘training’ took place at Harvard funded by the Bloomberg foundation. Another globalist puppet bought and paid for.

The next puppet preparing for office.

This is how the next Prime Minister of the UK is appointed. Democracy is just the scam to make it seem as if people actually voted them in.


They are out to get him. 
Starmer has been the WORST Prime Minister I’ve seen in my lifetime, and he could resign in the next few days!
➡️ Over 100 MPs have called for him to resign.
➡️ Multiple ministers have called for him to step down.
➡️ The Labour Party has lost confidence in his ability to lead.
➡️ He has lost all public support.
Who else thinks Kier Starmer has been the worst Prime Minister ever?

Let battle commence. Buy the popcorn and watch. 😁😝😄

Woof woof meow.

 Good morning

I'm going to be clock watching today. I won't be going anywhere because I am cat sitting and dog sitting. Janet will be back later, and Carol has gone out, so I will be looking after Billy Dog. 

Billy is a star, he is on Gooooogle street maps. I see from my blog posts that I have been walking him for six years. 


After losing Rocky dog I could not take on another dog full time, so it's best that I borrow one. Billy is perfect. He has a loving home and lives close by. 

Remembering Rocky. 

Catch ya later. Have a nice day.  Toodle pip.   ilona

Fancy a pickled onion?

 It has been very hot today, the summer is back. 

This afternoon I went to The Range to stock up on cat food. I am getting through lots of Kitten Purina dry nibbles. The cats, the hedgehogs, and the birds all eat it. At £15 a bag, and I got three, feeding pets and wildlife can become a bit expensive. 

The Range is on a Retail Park, in close proximity to the two Industrial Estates where I pick litter. So it's easy to combine journeys. I spent an hour today at Flixborough Industrial Estate. Anybody fancy a pickled onion. Found in that hedge bottom on the right there, with a lot of other hidden rubbish. I have already done this road a week ago, but there is always more to find. 

Another bag filled, and dropped off at my usual spot at the pond. 
I'm about to eat my dinner, so I'll get on with that. I am looking after Janets cats, so one more visit before bed time. I watched a bit of telly while I sat with them. Have you seen that programme Real Housewives? Ladies glammed up to the eyeballs, long fluffy blonde hair. Ten minutes was enough. Do people really watch that drivel?

Visiting a landfill site.

Today I went to visit a local landfill site. I was the only person who had booked a time slot. I arrived at 11am. I was really looking forward to this. Then another woman turned up, she didn't know about it until the last minute. So we were both driven around the site by the manager who gave us lots of information on how it all works. 
I can't write much about it here, because the conversations were dominated by the woman who fired off lots of questions. It was apparent that she had a far better knowledge of the history of the site, so her questions were all very technical. I didn't understand hardly any of it, and when I had a question I had to butt in. In the end I gave up. I wanted to get out of the car but couldn't you are not allowed to go walking around the site on your own. 
I don't normally have a panic attack and can cope with most things, but I felt trapped in the car with someone who wouldn't stop talking. I was on the verge of screaming with frustration. 
It was interesting for me to see the landfill site from the inside. I have previously explored around the perimeter of it when my car was in the garage for repairs. I wrote a blog post about it in October 2022.  
Anyway, I can't tell you much about this visit because I stopped listening. The noise inside the car was too much. With the added noise of the two way radio, and a woman that didn't give me a chance to say anything, I didn't get the full benefit of the tour. 
Here are some photo's. 





As an antidote to this, I did a couple of hours of litter picking on the Industrial Estate. A dead end road with no one there. Trolley loaded up and a red bag left with the previous one I filled, at the pond, awaiting collection. 

Thanks for popping in. Catch ya tomorrow. Toodle pip.   ilona

Another letter from my penfriend

The TV Licensing people are still after me. They want me to pay £180. Erm . . . . no thanks, I don't want a license. 
I provide a running buffet for the cats. They can eat whenever they feel like it. The bowls are just inside the back door. I am in the habit of leaving the two back doors open when it is nice weather. I was in the kitchen when something caught my eye. These birds are very cheeky. In they hop, grab some food, and fly back outside again. 
Sometimes when I am busy I haven't noticed them coming in. They forget which way it is to go out, and they end up flying around inside the house. What a job it is to catch them. Now I have to make sure the back door to the house is closed at all times. 


That's all for now. Catch ya tomorrow. Toodle pip.   ilona

16 decorated circles.

I bought this macrame covered hanger thingy from a charity shop for £2.50. I think it's a hanger for your scarves. Put them through the circles and hang it in the wardrobe. I saw something else. I want to fill the 16 circles with colourful felt and decorate them. I saw it had potential to become a wall hanging. Each one is cut to the right size and stitched onto the back of the macrame frame. 
I have photographed it on a black background so the colours stand out more. When they were all finished I cut 16 more circles and stitched them onto the back to cover up the messy stitching. I like a tidy back. 

I didn't do the macrame, I just designed the 16 centre circles. I had no particular theme in mind. The decorations are all embroidered by hand. No glue has been used. 








Lots of praise from the ladies in the Crafty Club this morning. I am pleased with how it has turned out. As usual I am not in a hurry to sell it. I will keep it for a while until such time that I will let it go. It will be wrapped up and stored in the wardrobe to keep it clean. 

There will be an Open Exhibition at the 20 21 Arts Centre in town, later in the year. I might enter it in that. 

Time to get the hedgehog food out. I mowed the lawns this afternoon and the garden looks lovely.

An interview worth watching.

I'm a bit late getting this out tonight. It's fascinating watching five hedgehogs running about on the garden.
I have been following UK Column for a few years now This is the news channel that you can rely on for what is really going on in the world. They have recently put out this interview with Jonathan Marshall. Here is a little bit about him taken from his web site.

Jonathan Marshall has been a professional falconer and horse trainer since 1985. He has performed at some of the largest outdoor events in the world and has entertained audiences of up to tens of thousands at a time. His Free Spirits live experience is totally unique and includes stunning horses and falcons which work together in a carefully choreographed performance. 

As a motivational speaker and story teller Jonathan is considered a master. He can hold the attention of any crowd and have them rolling with laughter one minute and crying with emotion in the next. In recent years it became increasingly obvious that it was Jonathan's ability as a communicator that was his gift and by using his horses and falcons he continues to spread his powerful message at his live performances and personal appearances.


After a spectacularly well received UK Column interview in April 2025 (https://www.ukcolumn.org/video/thinki...) Jonathan Marshall is back.
In another riveting conversation with Charles Malet, Jonathan discusses the influences pushing young people toward a life of introspective compliance and the danger that poses.
Jonathan is a member of the wide awake club, know what I mean. He has sussed it all out. A smashing interview that gives me some hope that it will all come right in the end. 

After spending the morning sewing, I wanted to get the arty project finished, I did a dash to Aldi this afternoon. They shut at 4pm on a Sunday. I made time to do a litter pick. I parked on the Industrial Estate, and went down the long back alley. Frustrating to see litter trapped behind an eight foot high fence with no access to get it out. 
I got halfway down there and my bag was full, so I decided to walk right to the very end of it, to see how much litter there was, and where it came out at the other end. Oh my, lots and lots and lots of litter and fly tipping. What an awful mess. It's going to be too much for me to tidy up. I will keep checking my Industrial Estates. Just one bag today. 
 
Now I have to go and get Mayze in. She would stay out there all night if I let her.
