A container of multitudes and an ebullient wally. Tina Belcher in her 40s. I'm ok.

A cinnabar moth visited our washing line yesterday.

#moth (is #mothtodon a thing?)

Joined the Marsden Walkers are Welcome group for their Friday evening wind down walk.

They took us on a lovely route on some paths I hadn't explored before - and there were some big hairy cows with little fluffy cows 😍

A lovely walk, on a lovely evening.

We walked to and from from Slaithwaite on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal too. It's simply gorgeous at this time of year: all greenery and rolling hills.

A field of long Grasses and wild flowers, being grazed by Long horn cows and their calves. A brown cow stands central to the image and her calf is between her and the photographer, both looking at the camera. Two other calves stand a little way behind them, also looking over and standing close to each other as if they're talking. A second adult cow is visible in the distance, grazing and not caring at all.

Miss Cinnamon is curled up in Tom’s recliner, snoring is a ladylike manner, while he is relegated to the ordinary armchair. He would never move her

@purplepadma in my immediate post-student days when I had a tiny living room and no dining table, my friend was shocked when I sat on the floor to eat my dinner rather than move a cat. It was such a regular occurrence for me that I hadn't even noticed I'd done it 😆

So something in my newest herbal tea blend is tasty Shall have to put the mug on a hot wash later 🙄

Video of cheeky black cat repeating dipping paw into a mug and licking it.

@palaeo_lou does it include valerian? That's popular with some of our cats.

Another amazing book on Kindle for 99p today - Emma O’Donoghue’s The Pull of the Stars. I thought about this novel for a long, long time after I finished it

@purplepadma thanks for the recommendation - I've borrowed it from the library. I loved her Haven, as recommended by that @helenclayton. Everyone has such good taste in books on here 😁 it's fab!

Saw the (always amazing) as part of the Lau-Land weekend at Opera North in .

It was a similar set to the last time we saw them in Saltaire about 18 months ago - but as that was one of the best gigs that I've been to, I didn't mind one bit. A mesmerising and innovative approach to Celtic folk.

(It feels rude to take pics during the concert so pic is from beforehand with their fab banner.)

Thoroughly recommend seeing Lau live - I like their recorded stuff but live is something else.

Super tired now, but MUST. NOT. NAP, because I am getting a bit nocturnal of late. Suggestions for staying awake, please?

@Beedazzled @purplepadma we dipped into two hills-of-Snowdonia lakes mid walk on Saturday. I may have shrieked "think of the endorphins!" as our feet went numb in the first one 🤣

Came across some real life the other day: a conveyor belt taking rubble from a quarry, under a dual carriageway road, then along a pier and onto a ship. We watched it running at full pelt for ages then the load started to get patchy. Someone needs to re-position their electric miners!

Trying to do a jigsaw puzzle but can't figure out where this big black hairy piece goes.

@johnl @tamonten sadly I missed out on buying this jigsaw but clearly the designer jigsaws with cats: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156217688071

(I liked the idea of buying it, taking a photo of one of our cats inevitably ruining it then printing that onto a new custom jigsaw, and so on.)
