Pics from your State Sanctioned Exercise.

Turns out they are quite a thing and have had a chequered life. ‘Napalming elephants isn’t the answer’: Finsbury Park’s famous topiary elephants could be destroyed due to people taking drugs behind them

We have loads of shrubbery in the grounds of our work. The council removed 4 majestic pampas grasses precisely because people were smoking crack and banging up behind them

I couldn't find a normal person hat, so...
My neighbour was kind enough to launch me outside

I realized my Excellent Coat has a hood, so managed to look totally normal after all

I was sitting on the church steps with my flask of coffee and flat phone and a smile, when I saw the top of a wolf hat over the top of the hedge. I shouted hello, scrambled my cat hat on, and then the really smiley friendly woman walked past the not hedge bit and called us twins

Have I mentioned I don't think I need to move away after all? At least, not if I can get all my ducks in a row and do self directed support in a careful and safe and supervisedish manner.
I told my downstairs neighbour this earlier. He just laughed and said that since I decided to leave in September, he's just been waiting for me to realise that I AM LOCAL. THERE'LL BE NO TROUBLE HERE

Chapel town is the Royston Vasey of Leeds. Trust me, I lived in hadfield for a bit. I couldn't hack it because of no community and early closing corner shops and no escape once the trains stopped

None of those things are an obstacle here

I believe the council runs a beach in town every summer; I've got a disabled persons railcard and an understanding bloody lovely Whitby guesthouse who I can stay with any time, trains and tiers permitting.

There’s something nightmarish/cheesedream about ladybirds

There’s something nightmarish/cheesedream about ladybirds

Why nightmarish? I know what you mean tho.

 

[tufty79]

It's the legs and underside that make me go a bit weird - they remind me of either earwigs or woodlice (I confuse the two). I'm a bit insectophobic - anything with fewer than two or more than four legs as standard issue really makes me shudder. That includes sealife as well (except whales/dolphins etc) - stuff like sea cucumbers and prawns make me flinch
I'm the world's most neurotic gardener

Ladybirds overwinter in my flat every year

Guess who's back...

The spots- the incongruous prettiness of the wing casings that suddenly erupt when they take flight - bleugh

I think I might take one pic out of my window every morning...its just such a pleasant way to start my day looking out at this

My cats love it too
