Well that was an depressing look at the news this morning. Tv off and plan for the day is shower then some housework. Local magpie pair turned up so they got a bit of left over roast pork for their breakfast. They then sang a lovely song.

Less news; more magpies might be my 2026 motto...

I haven't watched or read the news since dickhead took office last Jan.

Could say head in the sand, but I don't feel stressed 24/7 anymore.
