Tired this morning, bit of a rough night. Babies dont like heatwaves. Thankfully it feels much cooler today.
Just about to make another coffee and unload dishwasher then return to rewatch more Schitts Creek.
Got Sensory Storyteller at 12.30pm so looking forward to that.
Feeling a bit sad about the news about Freya the Walrus (cw - animal euthenasia) she’s been euthenised for being aggressive but, if people would have left her alone and stopped approaching her it wouldnt have come to this, she would have been fine and not bothered them.
OMG I just googled this, I assumed she was in a zoo, not that it would be any better but she’s just in the wild and they’re a protected species. This is awful
Non-domesticated animals are meant to be aggressive ffs </3
Yeah, we’ve had some swans on the itchen relocated because… You guessed it, dog owners can’t keep their dogs on a lead around the nest (despite the landowners and local nature charities putting signs up) and rowers from the college being aggressive towards them.
Poor swans have no other reaction than to protect their partners and cygnets. Very sad. Aggressive swan, my arse. Learn to live around nature better people.
The entitlement of the rowing club round here boils my blood. Just absolutely ploughing through at high speed assuming that eight young cygnets will just get out of the way. I’ve even seen young guys in rowing boats antagonising the adult swans when they try guard the part of the river they’re nesting in.
Exactly, she was just chilling basically and people kept approaching her to get selfies etc and she unsurprisingly became aggressive after getting stressed. If they had just left her alone she would have eventually moved away from the populated areas on her own accord. Its really made me sad, ive been following the news about her from the beginning. Struck an affinity with me cause of the name initally cause of it being shared by my mini.
Quiet weekend - spent most of it avoiding talking to my upstairs neighbours about the loft conversion work they are about to start - of course it’s much worse than I feared (there is a chance of my bedroom which I only decorated last year getting fucked up and needing fixing in one of the corners of the ceiling) - plus scaffolding and noise and whatnot
Was quite awkward cos I was already feeling anxious and I wasn’t up to being all “no worries, whatever” about it as it’s not like I’m getting an extra bedroom out of it, just added stress.
Had a dream that there was some sort of tunnel in my old bedroom that I shouted “WANKSHAFT!” down. Then a man appeared in the bedroom staring at me. Horrible.
