Good morning & welcome to Roast Dinner Day
Worrying about tomorrow is a sure way to miss the goodness that’s already here today. Take day one moment at a time, enjoy the little things, and don’t let tomorrow steal today’s smile.

They say I’m ‘doing absolutely nothing.’
I disagree.
I’m conducting an extensive whisker-by-whisker quality inspection of today’s breeze.
Early findings suggest it’s exceptionally pleasant… and well worth another twenty-minute evaluation
Rolf report 3 July: Debussy has just the right accompaniment for these languid summer days: his Girl with the Flaxen Hair. Played by Polish-American maestra Ruth Slenczynska, who sadly passed away a few weeks ago at 101. She had been the last surviving pupil of Rachmaninoff. For #RelaxWithRolf. Rolf x

Betty was eating a weird fruit called 'pmegranite' the other day.
She wondered what would happen if she sowed some of the funny-looking seeds from it.
She didn't expect them to grow - but they did.
She loves to grow things from seed.
What do you think?
Do you do it too?
We wanted to update you on our search for a new ambulance van.
When we began the campaign to find a new van, we asked our team to look for vans that met important criteria: 1) Final purchase price between €23-25,000, 2) a 2018 model or newer, 3) relatively low mileage, and a layout that could be safely and practically converted to carry our medical equipment and transport injured or vulnerable animals.
So far, vans within our price range are often much older, or have high mileage, or not suitable for conversion. In other cases, the van itself is a strong match, but the price is beyond our current budget.
The team is still actively searching and we are ready to purchase a suitable used van the moment we find the right one. At the same time, we are keeping the campaign open so that we can continue raising funds and remain prepared for every possible option.
We are deeply grateful for your support. We want to make the best possible decision as this van has to last us for a long time.
The moment we have news, we will publish an update and photos.
With heartfelt thanks to everyone who has donated.

Here are our cats today. Many of them were once very grateful for their ambulance ride to Ernestos Sanctuary. 🐈
Night night sweet dreamies
The warmest people aren't running a strategy
They've just been through enough to know that kindness is the most useful thing you can give a stranger having a hard day.
Be kind to yourselves too
Very loud meows at 04.30, come downstairs, we have an orange cat burglar in situ
How?
I left him outside after supper and shut the door
Not once did we hear him in the night?
Very perplexed
Either he’s mastered teleportation or he’s been secretly issued with a front door key.

Imposter Syndrome can be a convincing liar.
You are not a fraud.
You are capable.
You belong.
You have earned your place.
Be as kind to yourself as you are to everyone else.
I believe in you.
At 5am this morning, Gwinny had a disagreement with Gizmo before breakfast.
There was fur everywhere across the decking…
Which raises an important question:
Did he give him a decking… on the decking?
