March 2025

31th

Been suffering from fasciculation pulling my right thumb toward my right index finger; today it's significantly worse, so have made an appointment to speak to the doctor about it.

30th

Today, after visiting the recycling centre, Charlie joined me in the Kitchen Garden.

A panoramic view of a rural property on a sunny day. The foreground shows a small garden area with wire fencing, a compost heap, and an old rusty barrel. A tractor is parked near a farmhouse, which is a white building with a dark roof. In the background, there are rolling hills, some trees, and other farm buildings. The overall scene suggests a working farm or smallholding, possibly under development given the tractor and what appears to be a newly constructed or prepared garden plot. The sun is bright, creating shadows that define the landscape.

Ran out of garden string so Charlie cut three lengths of twine.

Charlie in a high-visibility jacket and wellies preparing a section of tilled soil for planting. Charlie using string to mark out rows within a fenced-off garden plot. The background reveals a rural landscape with fields and hills. A burn barrel is visible in the left foreground.

Harvested last two potato plants from last year.

Charlie harvesting potatoes from a garden. Charlie is digging up potatoes with his hands, and some potatoes have already been collected in a blue plastic crate. The ground is dark and rich, and there are some weeds and other plants growing around the potato patch. The overall impression is one of simple, hard work and the rewards of homegrown food.

Nice sunny, dry afternoon.

Charlie holding a burlap sack filled with dried, brown plant stalks. The sack is being held above ground level, with the Charlie's legs and boots partially visible in the bottom of the frame. The background is blurred but shows green grass. The overall impression is one of harvesting or collecting dried plant material.

Close-up view of Charlie's hand holding a collection of dried plant seeds and seed heads. The seeds appear dark brown and are clustered together, with visible stems and remnants of the plant's structure. Charlie's hand is dirty, suggesting recent work in a garden or field. The background is partially visible and shows a portion of a light-coloured bag or sack.

Partially filled burlap sack containing a quantity of dark brown, seed-like material. The sack appears worn and dirty, with some visible text on the outside. The overall impression is one of a simple, possibly agricultural or gardening, context.

This years seeds, Parsnip and Swede, havested from our Kitchen Garden.

Light blue mesh bag containing a large quantity of dried, brown seeds or grains. The seeds are irregularly shaped and appear to be clustered together. The bag is partially visible, and a dark gray object is partially visible at the bottom of the bag.

Metal bowl containing a mixture of dark-coloured mustard seeds and dried herbs or spices. The mixture is piled in one side of the bowl, leaving the other side largely empty. The bowl appears to be metallic and shows signs of wear or discolouration.

We used a few of the seeds today, so I'm now anticipating the results until later in the year.

29th

We parked our truck in Hawick high street to see the Reivers procession.

Street parade or procession, possibly a historical reenactment. A group of people dressed in 17th-century style clothing are marching down a street lined with buildings. Some are playing musical instruments (flutes and drums), while others are walking alongside or riding horses. A dog is walking with the group. The overall atmosphere suggests a community event or a celebration.

Historical reenactment or parade taking place on a street lined with shops. A group of people are dressed in 17th-century-style clothing, some in military attire, marching down the street. They appear to carrying a large banner or flag with a teal cross on a beige background. Spectators and modern-day vehicles are visible in the background, creating a juxtaposition between the historical reenactment and contemporary life. The overall tone is one of a community event or historical commemoration.

Procession of people in period costumes, likely participating in a historical reenactment or parade. The costumes appear to be from the late medieval or early Renaissance periods, with several individuals carrying weaponry (long spears or halberds are visible). A prominent red and white flag is carried at the front of the procession. The event is taking place on a street in a town, with shops visible in the background. The overall impression is one of historical recreation, possibly celebrating a specific historical event or period. The emotional tone is one of festive participation and historical engagement. The moral of the image, if any, is implicitly about the appreciation and commemoration of history.

Group of children dressed in medieval-style costumes, marching down a street. They are carrying wooden spears or staffs, and some are shouting or making excited expressions. The setting appears to be a town or city in the UK, judging by building styles and signage. The children are the central focus, creating a sense of movement and energy within the overall scene. The background includes shops and onlookers, suggesting a parade or historical reenactment.

Parade or procession of people dressed in 17th-century style clothing, walking down a street lined with shops. A man carrying a flag is prominently featured in the centre. The overall scene suggests a historical re-enactment or a celebratory event.

Procession of people in 17th-century-style clothing walking down a street. There are men and women in period costumes, some appearing as military figures, others in civilian attire. Two dogs are also walking with the group. The setting is a modern town with shops and cars visible in the background, suggesting a historical re-enactment or parade. A tartan flag is prominently carried.

After a horse passed by us it bolted, thankfully the rider calmly dismounted.

Riverside scene in a Hawick, Scottish Borders within in the UK. A community event or market is taking place in a paved area, with numerous people milling about and several colourful marquees or tents set up. The background consists of rows of traditional stone buildings. A low concrete wall with a metal railing separates the event area from a riverbank, which is reinforced with rocks. The overall mood appears to be one of a typical, perhaps slightly overcast, day in a small town.

Later, around 1pm we visited the wee haugh to find the festival abandoned.

But we enjoyed the walk from Common Haugh to Wilton Lodge Park where the Reivers had put on a firework display. Watch last years fireworks: click here.

26th

Trimmed my rose bush and experienced anxiety aversion triggered by two walkers passing by my house. They pass by almost every day, they walk at pace and talk a lot; maybe this is a social anxiety anchor that I am to overcome. I've come a long way from walking non-stop fourteen hours a day, too anxious to talk, dissociating from eating and drinking; panic reanimate from fight or flight. I became so traumatised outside, that when I attempted to settle inside, I slept for weeks; my body shutting down, terrorised unto a threshold of death.

25th

We took three ewes and their lambs to auction at Longtown.

Charlie dressed in blue overalls leaning over a wooden gate inside a makeshift lambing shed. The shed is made of wood and covered with a plastic tarp. Inside, there are several sheep and lambs of various colours, some lying down and others standing. The floor is covered with straw. The overall mood is one of quiet observation and care. Charlie appears to be checking on the sheep and lambs.

Red pocketknife with a small, curved blade resting on a weathered wooden surface. The background is blurred but shows a farm setting with lambs and a person's legs in jeans visible. The overall impression is one of rural life and perhaps farm work.

Close-up view of Charlie's arm, clad in a worn denim work jacket, holding a thin orange wire. The background is a rustic barn or shed, dimly lit, containing a small flock of lambs and a few adult sheep resting on straw bedding. The overall impression is of a farmer or shepherd tending to their young flock in a simple, rural setting. The slightly blurry background and focus on Charlie and twine suggest a moment of quiet work.

Charlie dressed in a worn denim work suit, carefully handling ear tagging pliers in his hands. He is standing in a sheep pen, with a sheep's head resting on the wooden barrier in front of him. The background is blurred but shows several more sheep in the pen, indicating a farm setting. The overall impression is one of routine farm work, possibly involving tagging or treating the sheep.

Close-up view of a Charlie's hands using a specialised tool to fix ear tags to a sheep. The sheep's head and part of its body are visible, and the setting appears to be a farm or agricultural environment. The focus is on the precise action of ear tagging a sheep.

Sheep standing inside a rustic, wooden and metal livestock transport trailer, showing signs of age and wear. The sheep is predominantly light-coloured with some dark markings, and it's standing on straw.

Charlie carrying a lamb in his arms. He's walking towards a wooden gate, which is in the foreground. The setting appears to be a rural farm, with a stone wall and hillside visible in the background. A livestock trailer is also partially visible. The overall impression is one of rural life and farm work.

Charlie holding a lamb close to their body. The lamb is mostly white with some black markings on its face and legs. Charlie is wearing dark blue overalls with visible tears. The setting appears to be a farm, with a wooden fence and dirt ground visible. The overall impression is one of gentle care and interaction between human and animal.

Sheep, predominantly grey and black, confined within a dilapidated wooden structure. The sheep's wool appears thick and somewhat unkempt. The wood of the enclosure shows significant signs of age and wear, with broken pieces and rusty metal fixtures. The sheep's presence creates a sense of confinement, and the condition of its enclosure suggests a lack of modern upkeep. Small, yellow and green tags are visible in its ears. The ground is covered in straw.

Ewe and her lamb standing inside a wooden trailer or livestock carrier. The trailer is old and shows wear and tear, with exposed wood and some blue paint. The sheep are standing on a bed of straw. The scene suggests transportation or temporary housing for the animals.

After one other mother ewe and her lambs, my ewe and her lamb was last to board.

All aboard!

Money was tight, Charlie fuelled the truck with £6 of diesel; however mother and ewe sold for just under £100 a life.

24th

Its that time of year again, get digging!

We've noticed frolliking frogs at Woodburn Farmhouse for a few days, but today I had mind space to film the garden pond.

In the evening we played carpet bowls, the last weekly session as there is a break now until the autumn; I doubt if I'll be returning.

At the end of play, various prizes were announced; in hindsight, I was relieved this season is over. Many players wanted me to lose, and many players hated losing the few games I won; I've had enough ill feeling in my life to think about how unwell this competitive event made me and others feel.

It appears this event had the same losers and winners as last year, and maybe before that, year-on-year. I play for fun and to socialise familiarity with people within the valley where we live. I am not in the slightest competitive, so was in someways glad not to be part of these carpet bowling awards.

23rd

Walked around Samye Ling.

Long shot of a Buddhist monastery nestled in a wooded area. A large white stupa with a gold finial is prominent in the mid ground, partially obscured by trees. Other buildings, including a style reminiscent of a Western house, are visible behind and to the side of the stupa. Prayer flags line a path or road leading toward the buildings. The overall setting is peaceful and serene. The background is a dense, dark evergreen forest, giving a secluded and contemplative atmosphere to the scene. The wintry or early spring season is suggested by the bare branches of many trees in the foreground.

Mahayana monks arrived here via entrism; the original Buddhist occupants of Johnston Lodge were Theravadan, both Buddhism but with undeniable differences.

White marble statue of a Buddhist Bodhisattva, holding a silver vajra. The statue is positioned in front of a dark green forest under a gray sky. The overall mood is serene and contemplative. The background is blurred, drawing attention to the statue. A small portion of a building is visible in the lower left corner.

White marble statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, a Buddhist deity, standing in a garden setting. The statue holds a staff and is positioned on a lotus-shaped base. The background features a coniferous forest and a blue shipping container. The overall impression is one of serenity and spiritual contemplation.

The problem with entrism, is that destiny is ignored, altercated and diverted via exploitative methods of misgiving; terrorising descendants into selflessness merely misplaces suffering.

Close-up view of a large, ornate statue, likely of a Buddhist deity. The statue is predominantly white, with a richly decorated headdress and robes featuring intricate gold and jewel-toned designs in blue, red, and orange. A stylised staff or sceptre with symbolic elements (possibly skulls and a trident) is held by the figure. The background is a muted grey sky, with some dark evergreens visible at the bottom of the frame.

We all know misappropriation cycles harsher Samsara, drawn from beligerent reverance of vendictive sadism; a facade of social normality, forlaying aptitude into unresolvable decline.

Large, colourful statue of a Buddhist deity, possibly a lama or guru, seated on a lotus throne in a reflecting pool. The statue is richly decorated with intricate details and vibrant colours, including blues, oranges, and golds. The setting appears to be a serene, possibly monastic, landscape with trees and a small building in the background.

Golden statue of a female figure with multiple cobras forming a crown around her head. The statue is partially submerged in a circular pool of dark water, surrounded by a white border decorated with golden, egg-shaped ornaments. The background features bare winter trees and hints of a garden setting. The statue appears to be in a prayer-like pose.

Retreat from life magnifies problems drawn to awareness from perspective. Illusions of enlightened as void you created deepened, darker; depthless contempt veiled in false light.

Grey stone dragon statue that is part of a fountain. Water flows from the dragon's mouth into a pool. The dragon rests on a white wall adorned with golden spheres. The background is a blurred-out garden scene with trees and bushes.

Circular fountain with a statue of a richly adorned Buddhist deity at its centre. The deity is seated and holds a trident-like object. The fountain is ornately decorated with carvings and features small golden spheres around its rim. A smaller golden statue, possibly a yaksha, pours water into the lower part of the fountain.

We enjoyed soup and a scone at Eskdalemuir community centre, food was delicious; connected with a kind lady that gave me two nights shelter in the village a few years ago.

22nd

First day with my new second hand Cannon EOS 500D camera; it's 16 years old, has a shutter count of under 3000, and takes great pictures.

Two sheep ascending a steep, grassy hill against a bright, mostly clear sky. The hill dominates the composition, with the sheep positioned near the centre, creating a sense of scale and emphasising the incline's steepness. The overall mood is peaceful and somewhat solitary.

Purchasing a half decent camera has been an uphill struggle.

Young, white lamb standing in a straw-covered pen. The lamb is marked with a faint, reddish number 6 on its side. It appears to be healthy and well-cared for, standing attentively. The background includes a wooden fence and more straw. The overall impression is one of rural life and animal husbandry.

Ewe and her lamb in a farmyard setting. The ewe, with its distinctive reddish-brown marking on its fleece, stands protectively beside her young lamb. They are standing in a grassy area near a wooden fence and a large water tank. Hay bales are visible in the background. The overall impression is one of rural serenity and the bond between mother and offspring.

Ewe and two lambs in a farmyard setting. The ewe is a dark brown or grey colour, while the lambs are black. They are standing near a weathered, dark-brown wooden horse trailer, and a dilapidated wooden structure that appears to be a makeshift shelter or pen. Other farm equipment, including a small cart and a section of a stone wall, are visible in the background.

Sorting mother ewes and their lambs for transport to grasskeep.

Two sheep standing side-by-side on a grassy hillside against a pale sky. The sheep appear to be of a similar breed and are light beige or off-white in colour with somewhat unkempt fleece. The hillside is gently sloping and mostly covered in short, dry-looking grass. A hint of a trough or feeder can be seen in the bottom left corner. The overall scene is peaceful and pastoral.

Gimmers on the paddock came down to watch.

Hillside pasture populated by a flock of sheep. The sheep are mostly light-coloured, with a few darker brown ones interspersed. They are positioned at various points on the slope, some gathered near a feeding trough, others more spread out. The scene is peaceful and pastoral, under a mostly cloudy sky. A simple wooden pallet is visible in the foreground.

Charlie couples up the livestock trailer.

Charlie in a high-visibility jacket and Wellington boots manoeuvring a weathered, blue livestock trailer away from a dark-coloured pickup truck parked on a rural, unpaved road. The background includes a hillside, trees, and a small stone cottage. The overall impression is one of rural work or farm activity.

Coupled

Charlie in work boots and a high-visibility jacket attaching a rusty, old trailer to the tow hitch of a dark-blue pickup truck. Charlie appears to be focused on connecting the two. The setting appears to be rural.

All mother ewes are drenched wormed before they leave Woodburn.

Charlie administering medication to a sheep using a syringe. Two lambs are visible in the background, within a makeshift enclosure. The setting appears to be a rural farm. Charlie is dressed in practical work attire, suggesting a regular farm chore.

Unloading.

Charlie in a high-visibility jacket overseeing a small flock of sheep and lambs. Three black lambs and one white lamb are near the centre of the frame, while two adult sheep stand nearby. The man appears to be guiding the lambs, possibly moving them using a rope. They are in a grassy pasture, fenced, with a ramp leading to what appears to be a trailer or livestock carrier.

Charlie drove to Alemoor, I enjoy the space here; without intrusion from weird men taking my picture from small motorbikes.

Tranquil lake scene. On the left, a dense line of evergreen trees borders the calm, dark water of the lake. The water reflects the sky and clouds above, creating a nearly mirror-like effect. In the distance, across the lake, a low, gently rolling hill is covered with more trees. The sky is mostly cloudy, with soft, diffused light. The overall mood is peaceful and serene.

Serene lake scene partially obscured by the foreground branches of evergreen trees. The lake reflects the surrounding coniferous forest, creating a mirror-like effect. The overall tone is peaceful and naturalistic, emphasising the quiet beauty of the woodland setting.

A close-up view of a section of a coniferous tree, specifically focusing on a branch with three mature pine cones hanging from it. The pine cones are light brown and appear dry. The surrounding branches are densely packed with short, needle-like leaves, suggesting a healthy, possibly evergreen, tree. The background is blurred but shows more of the same tree, creating a sense of depth and continuity. The overall colour palette is muted greens and browns.

We dropped by a neighbour to see if he and his sheep were OK.

21st

Replaced the CMOS battery in my XPS laptop today.

As I thought, the battery does not register the correct power with this computers operating system, this is often because its a generic battery part.

Internal components of a laptop, specifically focusing on the battery. The battery is a Green Cell 41Wh rechargeable Li-ion battery with various safety warnings and specifications printed on its surface. The image also reveals other components such as the cooling fan, a solid-state drive (SSD), and various circuit boards. The overall impression is a technical view of the laptop's internal workings, possibly taken during repair or maintenance. There is no artistic or emotional expression; the image is purely descriptive of a technological subject. There is no explicit story or moral conveyed.

And here we have the CMOS battery, to the top right of the laptops main battery, the old CMOS battery is removable without removing the main battery.

A close-up view of the interior of a laptop, specifically the motherboard and battery area during a repair or maintenance process. Various components are visible, including the motherboard with integrated circuits, connectors, and wires. A partially removed battery is shown, labelled M1.6x4, indicating a screw specification. Tweezers and a screwdriver are present, suggesting work in progress. The overall impression is a technical image capturing a step in a laptop repair.

Inside of a disassembled laptop. The focus is on the motherboard and battery area, with various components visible, including wires, screws, and a small electronic part partially removed. The overall impression is of a laptop undergoing repair or maintenance. A small screwdriver is visible in the bottom right corner.

The laptop kept forgetting the hardrive, and the computers time in BIOS; so this is first, next I'll will be replacing the M2 SSD, both have a life span of five years.

Dell laptop displaying a login screen. The screen also reflects the image of the user, a woman wearing a knit hat, taking a selfie with her phone to log in. The background is a dimly lit room, and the laptop itself appears to be dusty. The operating system shown is Debian 12. The overall impression is one of casual, everyday technology use. There is no deeper narrative or moral implied; it's a simple snapshot of an individual using their laptop.

And this laptop is eight years old. I'm using Linux: Debian Trixie for my OS, the best! The laptop was sold with an arabic keyboard, but the computer sees it as Japanese.

18th

Persueded Charlie to spend his afternoon at my house in Ancrum; we enjoyed a walk along Ale Water.

Tranquil river scene on a bright, sunny day. The sun is positioned high in the sky, its light creating sparkles on the water's surface. The river gently meanders through a grassy field, bordered by a few bare trees and a wooden fence. The background features rolling hills under a clear blue sky. The overall mood is peaceful and serene.

Mmm, the Ale Water; I'm here.

Dirt path leading towards a row of houses situated beyond a field. A wooden fence lines the path, and trees frame the scene, with a small stream or river visible in the middle ground. The sky is clear and blue, indicative of a sunny day. The overall impression is one of a rural or semi-rural setting, possibly in a village or small town.

Friendly horses.

Black horse with a distinctive white blaze on its face. The horse is viewed from the side, slightly turned away from the camera. It appears to be standing in a dirt or sandy paddock. The lighting suggests it's daytime.

Rescued, and rehomed.

Black horse with a long, thick mane and tail, grazing in a field. The horse is predominantly black, with some slight feathering (longer hair) on its lower legs and a small amount of white on its fetlocks. It appears to be eating from the ground. The background is a grassy field with a simple white fence. The overall impression is one of a calm, mundane scene of a horse in a relatively natural environment.

A bird appeared in front of us.

Yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella) perched on a bare branch. The bird is predominantly brown and streaked, with a bright yellow head and breast. The background is blurred but shows more bare branches, suggesting a winter or early spring setting. The focus is sharply on the bird.

Posed for a shot, it's a rare I walk with people, so I'm enjoying this afternoon walk.

17th

Fresh straw for the...

Charlie in a cap and high-visibility jacket carrying a bale of hay towards a dark blue pickup truck parked on a dirt road. The background is a rural landscape with trees and a stone wall. The overall impression is one of farm work or rural chores.

...ewes and lambs.

16th

We returned to Roberton via Langholm moor.

Charlie sitting on a park bench on a hillside. The hillside is sparsely vegetated with brown grasses and shrubs. A road is visible in the mid-ground, and in the far background, there is a more distant hill and a power line. The sky is overcast. The overall mood is peaceful and somewhat desolate.

Dark blue Mitsubishi L200 Warrior pickup truck parked on the side of a road next to a grassy hill. The front passenger side door is open. The setting appears to be a rural or mountainous area, with dry, brown grass covering the hillside. The sky is overcast. The overall impression is one of a vehicle stopped during a journey in a remote, natural landscape.

Wide, expansive view of a moorland landscape under a cloudy sky. The foreground is dominated by low-lying vegetation, a mix of brownish-purple heather and lighter-coloured grasses. The mid-ground and background show rolling hills covered in similar vegetation, with a slightly darker hue indicating possibly different plant types or shadows. The overall colour palette is muted browns, grays, and muted greens, creating a sense of vastness and quietude. A distant, low hill is visible on the horizon.

Tall, slender obelisk standing atop a heather-covered hill against a muted, overcast sky. The obelisk appears to be made of dark stone and is fairly weathered. A low stone wall partially encircles the base of the obelisk. The overall mood is sombre and somewhat desolate.

Long-haired goat with distinctive black, brown, and white colouring. Its most striking feature is its long, curved horns. The goat is grazing in a field of dry, light brown grass.

Young, black and white goat kid standing in tall, dry grass. The kid is predominantly white with irregular black patches. It appears to be looking down. The setting suggests a wild or semi-wild environment.

Young, black and white goat kid foraging in a field of dry, light brown grass and twigs. The kid is mostly black, with patches of white fur, especially on its face and belly. It is actively searching for food among the vegetation.

Black and white adult goat and a smaller kid, both with similar colouring, standing in a field of dry, light brown grass and low shrubs. The adult goat is slightly larger and appears to be standing slightly apart from the kid.

Black and white goat with long, slightly curved horns. It is standing on a low stone wall, with a background of bare, wintry trees and shrubs. The goat appears to be walking along the wall.

A black and white goat with long curved horns standing in a field of dried brown bracken. The goat's coat is thick and shaggy, and its face is partially obscured by its fur. The background is a blurred-out woodland of muted browns and grays.

Black and white goat. The goat has long, curved horns and a thick, shaggy coat with distinctive white patches. The background is blurred, suggesting a natural outdoor setting. The goat appears alert and is looking to its right.

Young, uniquely patterned goat kid standing on a paved road. Its coat is predominantly white with irregular black patches. The background consists of tall, dry, light brown grasses. The kid appears to be alone and is looking to the right of the frame. The overall impression is one of a wild, yet somewhat vulnerable, creature in a relatively open and sparsely vegetated landscape.

Three goats on a road. One goat is mostly black, another is mostly white with black patches, and a third is black. The black and white goat appears to be running away from the camera, while the other two are walking or standing. The background is blurred.

We failed to get diesel at Newcastleton, and then the pumps were switched off in Hawick; Charlie drove back to Roberton tired, felt relieved to have returned to Woodburn Farmhouse.

15th

Received results from a biopsy, I'm in the clear, another five years until my next scheduled endoscopy; the procedure wasn't pleasant, but I'm restful for this peace of mind. Bright sunny morning in Ancrum, later were heading over to Woodburn for a few days.

Besides a minor eye condition we've had healthy lambs this spring.

Timelapse sunset, filmed for one and a half hours. Birds landed on the phone (mounted on a tripod) but didn't seem to effect the result.

I washed the truck and disinfected the cab with detol spray; Charlie's work wellies had made the truck smell like a dung heap. Fair weather days are quite rare in the Scottish Borders, and even then there is a chill about the wind. Despite the harsh weather, there is an enamouring presence about and around this countryside.

14th

Enjoying Youtube music, favourite tracks include Def Leppard "Animal" (awesome video, my fellas surname is Bostock), Boston "More Than a Feeling" and Van Halen "Jump" and "Why can't this be love", yeh, classic rock is definately my favourite. Judas Priest, ZZ Top all rock bands are great, and Whitesnake "here I go again" at Donnington 90, the fireworks, wow.

Early this morning our last mother ewe lambed, we have now finished lambing, in a fortnight they'll all go to grasskeep and the farmhouse will once again be quiet! Jobs done at the farmhouse there are new projects beginging (hopefully with Charlies help) building a low rider (hard tail) chopper; a journey in itself, we know we don't have to be moving to travel.

Bit disappointed with Ancrum, attending a Community Council meeting and objecting to the village green being turned into a playing field I was set on by a pack of wolves. Dissenting opinion is scorned in this village but I'll tell you, they wrongfully villified the wrong person because, I'd rather be a homeless wanderer than be one of those nice to be nice, sheeple.

Yes "owner of a lonely heart".
