@Istimrar I came back to this hellscape just in case there was a moment of utter joy today… AND HERE IT IS.

Morning all. I’ve done lots of thinking this week & decided I don’t think I can carry on with my business anymore.
It’s always been hard, but it’s so much harder to keep my head above water now which is not only bad for me mentally, it’s affecting my physical health too (1/4)

[Carolyn Ritchie @gortex2]

@annahamiltonart I’m so very sorry, Anna. Your artwork is beautiful, and as you say, very much part of who you are. Wishing you the best with your job search. Off to look in your shop now…💕

I’m leaving Twitter tonight, chums. You can find me on Instagram and Bluesky.
So long, Elon - thanks for all the pish.

"There's so many European leaders who have been contorting themselves... to excuse the inexcusable."

Anthony Gardner, former US Ambassador to the EU, tells #Newsnight that Europe has been “sanewashing” the actions of President Trump.

@JimMonaghan10 I used to go there, way back in a previous century, when I was a pupil… there was nothing that fancy back then. Might have managed to buy a coffee to wash down my packet of pickled onion Space Raiders.

@Number10cat @jamespriceglos I laughed extra hard as I read/heard your response in a Glaswegian accent. 😄

@TomLondon6 @Istimrar I really hope Scotland decide against. We’ve waited so long, and it will be a heart-wrench, but I hope we choose not to compete. 💙

[Carolyn Ritchie @gortex2]

@Zwoddergirl @GardensHour Or even Heavenly! 😄

[Carolyn Ritchie @gortex2]

@Zwoddergirl @GardensHour Thank you for this - a reminder to me to grow some. Heavily Blue is one of my all time favourites!

Thought for the day:
What did pet owners do in the Olden Days when they were quoted say, £900 for a preventative measure tooth extraction?
It just doesn’t didn’t happen, did it? 🤯
Is it just me, or is there a racket going on?

[Carolyn Ritchie @gortex2]

Remembering back to a sunny day in the garden last Summer. 😊☀️
A3. Watercolour and pencil.

@TomLondon6 I’m beginning to think they are all the same person.
