Just googled L'OrΓ©al and apparently they no longer carry out animal testing on their products.

Alcaraz supports bullfighting - animal torture in the name of entertainment. Come on Jannik! #wimbledon

Is any other TV show as divisive as the #jeremyvine on Channel 5? The way the topics for debate are worded and set out seem intent on causing hostility and bringing out the worst in people. Some (not all) of the panellists are so self-important. Don't know why I put it on. It just gets me riled.

We had a letter today from a well known estate agent advising that their clients, who they named, were interested in buying our house. Never had anything like that before. πŸ€”

The radio & TV are full of debates pitting the generations against each other today. I like Nicky Campbell. We're the same age but our upbringings were very different. I'm not complaining. It's the way it is but it's so dangerous to generalise. Gets me down. I sympathise with younger people too.

My favourite Burns song. I love this moving and evocative version by Georgia Cecile from last year.

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come.

β€˜Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.

Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

RSPCA accused of β€˜failure of leadership’ as Chris Packham resigns Packham and Caroline Lucas stood down as president and vice-president after workers at the charity’s approved abattoirs were filmed mistreating animals

It is with enormous sadness that I have resigned from my role as president of the RSPCA . I would like to register my respect and admiration for all the staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to protect animals from cruelty . Thank you .

Our lovely rescue Jack had his annual health check and vaccinations today along with bloods taken to monitor a health condition that was discovered in March. He's stable for now. Much relief and thankfulness.
