Ouch! It seems 5 out of 7 of the fence panels along the kitchen garden have come down during #StormBoelo; OH & our helpful neighbour are doing temporary repairs. Be a while before a fencer is available, I suspect.

Please don't leave Halloween pumpkins to rot in your garden, or dump them in the countryside. Eating pumpkins can make hedgehogs, birds and other animals poorly. Instead, dispose of pumpkins in a covered compost bin or council food waste bin.

💔 A little plea from our small business! 🐝
We've taken time off work, prepared lots of honey & candles, only for the storm to cancel 2 of our 3 festival days! 😢
Now we're left with lots of stock😅 Every order would mean the world to us!
Thank you💛

My good friend Auntie Maria (@madridnantes ) has been busy making these lovely cat blankies.
She is doing it to raise money for cat rescues.
If you send her a DM (whatever that is) then she will give you details of how you can buy them.
Another way to help is by sharing this post.
Thank you so much.

Ok, here's one for any electricians. Like most of Cornwall, the power has been out most of the morning here. Power is back on, but only to sockets that aren't drawing much power. No lights, kettle not boiling, but the WiFi is working. Checked the fuse box and all looks ok 🤔
Pleasant time with friends; however, my insides want to be rid of something I ate & I'm out again in less than an hour. 😬Also, does being older make us less tolerant? 👿😇
Sad start today, one of our chickens died overnight #RIPNoTail x On a cheerier note, I'm off for a 'posh' tea this afternoon with friends.
Had our flu jabs on Sunday; I've had a bit of a reaction today, both at the site of it & how I feel, ugh.
Phone-clever peeps: OH has an iPhone & I use an android Samsung & both on O2 contracts. Last week, local issues with a mast meant no O2 coverage in this postcode, this now sorted but, despite various Settings' fiddling, neither of us can register on O2??
Rosalind decided to operate self service for a second breakfast; she took first one cat food pouch from the kitchen to the spare room (her 'safe space') &, when she couldn't quite open it, went back for another 😹
Horti Society AGM last night, OH stood down as Chair & is now Secretary.😊 Been to a lunchtime quiz today that lasted 4 & a half hours & had some 'difficulties'. 😬Mobile signal out in our post code. All go here!

I’m a mum whose son is very intelligent and gentle, and also has a diagnosis of schizophrenia.
The sheer cruelty in comments left on posts about this heartbreaking incident has reduced me and a whole community to tears. Shame on every single person who has left a vile comment about this awful incident. A young man has died. His family could read your words. Have some basic human decency.
Psychosis means a complete break from reality. Unless you’ve cared for someone through that crisis, you cannot
understand the trauma that comes with that..its horrific. Watching your child suffer, day after day, is beyond painful. Then having to witness society ridicule and dehumanise people with serious mental illness is sickening.
Schizophrenia can affect someone you love. Remember that before you leave your next cruel comment.

The death of William Chapman has brought into sharp focus the prejudice, hatred & lack of compassion that people living with mental illness continue to endure.
Those who have posted vile comments about William, SHAME ON YOU

Went to a small, local nursery this morning (plants, not babies) & they have 2 BTs, Twiglet & Toast! @BearStockton

Okay, I'm breaking character here. This is not a satire post. My 2-year-old son is in a wheelchair that we can't fit into our car. We are not eligible to apply for a wheelchair accessible vehicle until he is three--and even then we would have to pay about £13,000 towards it (which we don't have).
The idea that disabled people get given free cars willy-nilly is bullshit. My son has to attend regular appointments at various locations. He has a team of specialists dedicated to helping him with an extremely rare neurological condition that means he needs around the clock supervision.
He can't even hold his own head up so a regular car seat is out of the question. He was using a baby seat, but he's outgrown that. It's really tough for us to get around because misinformation from pricks like Nigel influences public opinion. Does this seem right?
