More cats, now with added hens!

For this week, here are a few pictures Youngest Daughter took of Splidge, the kitten with which Bonnie was pregnant when nature’s sat-nav sent her to my back garden once she’d been abandoned in our local forest (because, you know, muggins here is a softie when it comes to abandoned animals). Youngest Daughter photographed Splidge looking positively regal last weekend. In addition, I’ve added a few shots of our hens. Yesterday, I made them a feast of mashed potato, grain, feed, extra minerals, and reclaimed meat. Those ladies go bananas when they get their beaks in that!

Despite everything going on, it’s important to remember the ordinary stuff. I’m still waiting to see how the war develops before trying to extrapolate what might happen. As the days pass, new light is being shed on old news: Trump, Brexshit and so many other controversies over the last few years can now be seen for what they really were: our enemy’s attempts to undermine and even destroy our democratic societies using only twisted and false information, paid traitors, fifth columnists and quislings. The arch-fiend in the Kremlin has successfully played Western leaders for fools for the better part of the last 20 years, and he is now spending these “winnings”, knowing he only has to threaten nuclear war to cow the leaders of the free world in the EU and the US. The UK doesn’t really come into it because he’s owned the British Conservative Party for some years. I shudder to think how quickly Johnson gets on the phone to Lebedev after the Greased Albino Piglet has had his COBRA briefings.

Stay safe, peeps.
