I'm afraid that I'm away all day on Saturday attending a national dormouse conference. I'll be leaving home with a friend at Sparrow fart and returning home late so I won't have time to write Bike, sorry and all that.

She hadn't been well for few days, in fact really, I was back and forth to the vet for the last few months. Anyway, my Whizz developed heart failure which worsened over the last couple of days and she stopped eating or drinking so I couldn't get any diuretics into her. We had a lovely afternoon together and she knew something was up as she followed me around the house and sadly I took to the vet for the last time. I then brought her home and buried her in the garden, near to Bonzi's grave.

I think I might have posted this before years ago but it may be of interest how things were 50 years ago, or at least how some people coped with it. Enjoy this trip into the past.

Happy Birthday, to my friend and Zoom hostess, Wendy. Have a lovely day.

Hugs,

Angharad.

According to the British Social attitudes survey, except it seems towards transgender people.

'The study notes, however, that attitudes towards transgender people – recorded only since 2016 – appear more volatile, with a recent sharp decline in public support. The proportion of the British public describing themselves as “not prejudiced” towards transgender people fell from 82% to 64% between 2021 and 2022, when the latest survey took place.

While the Labour party in Britain struggles with the gap between trans rights and feminist worries Russia has no such worries, Putin has banned all treatment for transgender folk making it illegal. And I thought we had problems in the west.
