Just reminding myself after a day in a damp cloud that the blue sky is still out there, which works on both a literal and figurative level for me today.

Anyhow, the cloud folk says hi.

Unless I have some magical insight that no other commentator is mentioning (very unlikely) I'm not going to be posting about US politics.

It's not that I don't care, worry, or regularly burst into a fiery rage over it, but nothing to be gained by posting any of that, so this is it.

I hope we come out the other side better, stronger, more united, and that they fail so publicly they have to dig a big hole and hide themselves away again.

This is just tiresome.

Dear companies claiming that WFH is damaging productivity, that's a YOU problem, not an US problem.

If you can't manage people without being in the same room as them, with the myriad of communication methods available, you can not do YOUR job. FFS.

And if a journalist could please ask Lord Rose how many hours he spent in the office when he was working, that would be grand.

Another photo from Brimham Rocks, with added scribbles, can be found here. It's a top spot if you happen to be in North Yorkshire.

This (or something along these lines) has been stuck in my head since reading all the rubbish about how the US businesses are pre-caving in to their new orange overlord and running away like the pathetic creatures they are from any semblance of decency. Needed to shake it out on to the screen to move on to something nicer.

It's Friday - WOO! I have achieved absolutely NOTHING today, but fortunately had nothing I particularly needed to achieve so hooray (and phew) for that.

As ever, hope you have a lovely weekend if you possibly can.

I was out before sunrise again, and felt the need to scribble this.

Idea.

Chicken Lickenstein.

A retelling of Chicken Licken* in a pop-art ben-day dots style, updated for modern times. Maybe chicken's workplace introduces a DEI policy that they all go bananas over before their workplace and homes are burnt to the ground in a climate change boosted wildfire.

Hmm.

Well I didn't say it was a GOOD idea.

Had a bit of free time this morning so decided to play around a bit. Then I read the news. Then I played a bit more.

Good morning from a dark, dreich Scottish hillside. Thinking fondly back to last week when we had delightful perky frost.

There was a gorgeous sunrise this morning, and although I generally object to being out and about before the sun has risen, it does have some benefits.

To be honest the sun doesn't actually RISE at this time of year anyhow. It just slouches low across the sky before flumping down behind a hill.

A very quick Myfanwy and Friend Special Edition for #NationalSnuggleAChickenDay

HT to @MaQuest and @art_history_animalia for the inspiration and source, responsibility as ever my own.

I feel like the snuggled chickens have a bit of attitude going on. There is definitely a backstory here.

I have just discovered (thanks to @MaQuest ) that it is #NationalSnuggleAChickenDay

I do have form, obvs., in chicken snuggling, but might need to do something new.

In the meantime... The Lady with a Knitted Chicken

Went for a walk. Found an icy bubble pond. It was a good pond.

Oh, I'm pleased to say it's not people here. More me shouting into the void at Global Fuckwits. The balance of my timeline is just a bit out of whack at the moment and I'm being a bit persistently reminded about Things That Are Terrible.

Absolutely not a pop at people posting about it/them either. Sometimes you need to vent. It's just I like here as a bit of an escape and I've got a bit more depressed at each log in the last couple of days.

It is astonishing the amount of awfulness caused by a handful of people.

I obviously need to set up a few mutes because it's too much atm, but in the meantime a message for that handful.
