CILLIAN MURPHY old pal CONGRATULATIONS for BEST ACTOR BAFTA! His brilliant OPPENHEIMER performance. But here’s the thing about Cillian. He just OWNS hats. The Peaky Blinder cheese-cutter . He owns it . The Oppenheimer hat – he owns it. And my old hat I have had for years , now it has Cillian all over it . Dammit Cillian…
NEW SPUDS! Nothing more delicious , just simply lightly boiled ( for just long enough ) served with butter and mint . Might I suggest also a green balsamic salad , a grilled fillet of fish and if you are VERY lucky a crisp refreshing glass or two of Two Paddocks Dry Riesling. There you go . Thanks unnecessary. #growyourown

BAD PIGGIES! The 3 Little Pigs were caught red trottered stealing the chickens’ food. Here they are, busted and guilty as hell , getting wrangled back … to poor Mum . @twopaddocks
The whole Family. My dear old friend The Pig ( Angelica) is getting really old now. He must be , i dunno , 100 pig years old now. Nevertheless his MUCH younger bride (Bryan ) is happy with the old boy , and thus those are their Three Little Piglets. Well , not so little any more . They eat well , let’s say.
Helena Bonham Carter can be such an ungrateful … COW. Watch to the end .
MY CARROTS, well some of today’s more interesting ones anyway. We like to encourage self expression in the veggie garden . I mean , why shouldn’t a carrot have the artistic freedom of a Nureyev or Fonteyn ? Who are we to say ‘You shall all conform, be a regular boring 🥕 carrot’ . What are we ? Garden nazis ?
I have been foraging , for lunch . The carrot’s name is Rodney.
Ooh have a read in @usatoday . 🍎 [link in bio ] #applesneverfall @peacock @essierandles @conormerriganturner @alisonbrie @misterjakelacy #annettebening
ANNETTE BENING the piglet. We have now named this little piggy Annette Bening , and the sheep formerly known as Annette Bening has lost that honourable title, since we couldn’t tell which one she was anymore. So this one stays , and is forever known as Annette Bening. Her two siblings we finally found a good home for, animal lovers up the road aways , who will keep them as pets among their great and varied menagerie. They are apparently very happy over there and have settled in well . Photos and names when we get them . Meanwhile A B the pig is with her parents , is very pretty ( obviously ) but also very naughty . No fault of the A B human , our good pal , who says she is honoured to be named as a pig. We trust and hope she gets an Oscar to make up for this . ( so damn wonderful in Nyad )
THREE LITTLE PIGS. Eat. Sleep. Drink . And … well , that’s about it really .
MY GIRLS. Spot Annette Bening. Yes folks . The Word is Love .
SOLAR. We have now made a massive investment in solar energy at Two Paddocks. 120 plus panels . Not because we feel self righteous ( of course we do ) or virtue signalling, whatevs … But because it WORKS. ( it does ) And it reduces massively our carbon footprint . Global warming is real , my friends, it threatens the planet ,our grandchildren , all our futures . Anything we can do to, we should . Advocate ! In the meantime , i am plugging in and cranking up AC/DC. Appropriately. Dance kids ! (Swipe for another image)

PAPERBACK COMING SOON ! March 7 in UK , NZ and AUS April 3 . I have been singing ( badly ) The Beatles’ ‘Paperback Writer’ all day. Parrots, magpies, crows all flee as I approach on my daily walk . Could be something to do with my dud harmonies. Or tortured vowels . Whatever it is , they just need to learn some compassion for heaven’s sake . And it’s not like they are exemplars of heavenly birdsong. Birdsquack is what you get in Australia . #DidIEverTellYouThis?
