Knowing that today is the winter solstice, & it brings with it the promise of lengthening daylight...get in

My photogenic snow beast.

Jake , our devil dawg , from a cuppla years back..

Annoying boggar.

A dog 2 cats and a snake. 
They won't all pose for a picture sadly.
The snake was sold as "harmless" and was regarded as fun until the sod bit me. At which point we discovered 2 things.
1. It had retractable fangs at the back of its mouth so no visible teeth.
2. It was venomous,  but not lethal.  An important distinction.

Freezing me nads off checking on some of this years gritstone ewe lambs. They're in exile to avoid them getting tupped,....repeat their not for tupping, I've heard your chants.

Never be ashamed of showing love for a fellow human being.
If you want to cry, cry. There’s no shame in showing emotion.
It’s the ones that bottle it up that are screwed up. All that repressed anger and sadness. 
I think it’s great that you acknowledge you will miss him.

Things people say and terms used:
i live in the real world - The fact that we cannot prove anything is real aside from energy makes this a silly statement
Get a life - What or earth does that mean?
He has too much time on his hands - There's no such thing as too much time
There's no smoke without fire - True enough but only in the context of smoke and fire
Everybody knows that - So if you don't know it, that makes you a nobody
Foreign investment - A foreign company sets up shop locally and ships it's proceeds offshore.  Where's the investment?
The international community - The west and their subordinates, others don't count
Collateral damage - Just say it, it's dead and injured people
Conspiracy theorist - Implies all conspiracies are imaginary and so two folks using the term is an act of conspiracy
Take your medication - For all you know, this is me on my medication
Normal - Nope, not a single one of you
Kick the can down the road - (American origin) When it comes to money, the road becomes an ever steepening hill
You're going to love this - Why?  Because you say so?
Extremist - i'm okay with the term but seek exact info on the line between a moderate and an extremist
Hate speech - No silly, it's called free speech and you gotta accept the good with what you call the bad
Regime - It's a fine word and all but what constitutes a regime?
War crime - Blowing people to bits and shooting them to pulps is allowed, gassing them however is a crime
Infomercial - Stop it, it's a commercial
This program was brought to you by..- No, it wasn't, i paid the subscription
Free market - If it's so free, why is it controlled?
 
And this is just what's been bugging me today
