Splendid stuff indeed.Australia has just flown a C17 in to Poland 70 million dollars worth of medical, food and ammunition for Ukraine.
I doubt if Ukrainians will agree with you.
Bit low for you, hope you are OK4.9 for me have a good day everyone
Good morning everyone and looking like another clear blue sky to start the day
Lovely walk into town yesterday but got dragged along to our GP surgery on the way so that Mrs Miggins could “nip in” and get some wear out of her mask. Then got dragged into a cafe - eggs Benedict without the muffin - substitute? oh, yes please, a full English on the side- odd look from waiting staff but they did ask. Mrs Miggins has a doctors appointment this morning and then off to visit one of her brothers. I shall cadge a lift into town and then walk back. Kitchen is now as smooth as a babies rump and all pink - wonder how far they will get today? Might watch the last episode of Lost Kingdom 4 as a catch up later on.
Art bit - still using up large sheets of raw rice paper. Hope your Mittwoch is a mighty one. Best make some koffy.

Oh that fox - can you find his entrance and exit and block them. Best get rid of his scent. Some folk talk about putting chilli flakes by entrances, exits and where they toilet after cleaning it all up. Lights may eventually work but I suppose it depends upon how much cover there is in your garden for Foxy Loxy to hide in. Lazy fox will keep coming though if there is food to be had. Another smashing kaleidoscope- lovely contrast with the green and yellow leaves.Fbg 6.6
Okay. My idea yesterday was to use my portable security lights.
Some weeks ago I bought these solar powered security lights. But where I needed to put them, doesn't get the sun in the day. I needed them for the Amazon delivery guy who often doesn't reach me until the hours of darkness. And so when I am expecting them, the security light is placed inside the window (it still triggers off for someone outside), to allow them to see. It is actually a good system not to fix them, and recharge them in the sunniest window. And I can also use them indoors. I have a couple placed on the way from my bedroom to the bathroom, and so my night time visits to the bathroom are lit up automatically for me without me ending up turning 3 electric lights on. Definitely an economy measure in these days of fuel bill hikes!
So, I arranged the portable security lights last night around my thatched swing. The idea that it might startle Foxy Loxy, so he will eventually stay away. Last night, not only did he leave his visiting card, he was leaving his scent in my garden. It stunk to high heaven this morning. Also he dug up a pot of daffodils (I had buried them in the soil to see if I wanted them there, or if I wanted to move them to another location). Foxy Loxy moved the whole pot of daffodils to another location up the garden path without spilling a daffodil.
It took me awhile placing the security lights, because they couldn't be within reach of Foxy Loxy because of his propensity for relocating items in my garden. I had visions of Foxy Loxy walking down the street, lighting the way with my security light in his mouth.
Did my idea work? I don't think so. Despite the lights coming on, Foxy Loxy also took Popeye's very large teddy bear he used to sleep on when he was on my swing (it is a huge wooden swing for 3 or 4 people), and relocated that in my garden as well. Obviously with the security lights going on and off my sleep was disturbed last night. Got glimpses of a tail but that was about it.
I am busy today, but tonight before I lock up, I will be repositioning those security lights, and I will be scent marking as well. Google tells me to spray white vinegar...
I have plenty of white vinegar, I use it for cleaning.
Creative today. Took a photo with the Laboscope app in my garden to make a kaleidoscope. I worked on it a bit in Procreate for Popeye (I could have done it a bit better but I am running out of time...), and then name and frame in Snapseed.
Do what you need to do today.
More coffee and tea and a shower needed here...

Thank you @gennepherI am liking your paintings on large sheets of unsized rice paper @dunelm
Enjoy that coffee...
@gennepher that's a shame that the lights didn't work. Hopefully the vinegar will work.Fbg 6.6

All in all and excellent result for common sense which isn't particularly common actually.08.03
8.35am FBG 5.6
Very tired and cold this morning, indeed lost most of the day to dozing on the settee Huddled under a fleece blanket.
09.03 woke middle of the night, far too hot.
Got up for a while. 4.45AM FBG 6.1.
Eventually went back to bed, but forgot FBG when I got up for the second time.
Productive morning. More digging in the veg patch and today planted some very weedy looking cauliflower and cabbages.
Was hoping to rake and seed, but common sense said stop now.
Well done that common sense, rake and seed can wait a bit longer.08.03
