Blister pack of tablets, each day is labelled and I think I should be going Monday to Sunday but I’ve taken Friday, Tuesday, Monday and Sunday so far. This is not down to time travel

Thinking the sertraline must be working because my lackadaisical approach to which tablet to take which day isn’t triggering me.

Or maybe it’s time travel

Personally I’d be looking happier even if I was being given the bowl on the floor rather than at the table - sometimes an owner just can’t catch the breaks

It’s my favourite bit of the games

The commentators on Winter Olympics - in a small cupboard as far as you can tell. Have added Gordon the Goffer

Loving the #WinterOlympics coverage

A bichon frisée. (Off white at present) lies amongst grey cushions and a throw. All paws in the air and tummy exposed. Asleep. You can just tell he’s snoring loudly

Could be comfier?

Looking forward to the Association for Cultural Enterprises conference next week - if you’re going to be in Birmingham give me a shout!

Headline from Get Surrey Online - reads ‘Surrey Village named among UK's best places to live that tourists mispronounce but is obvious to those who live there’

Amazing to be named among ‘UK's best places to live that tourists mispronounce but is obvious to those who live there’

Niche, but maybe easier to win than Britain in Bloom.

It’s Ewell, since you ask.

I shouldn’t - but can’t help watching #TheApprentice - on this occasion I would just scrap the lot and start again

A book nook. Nestled in between a load of books on British Prime Ministers and elections (I can’t help it, I’m always fascinated). It’s a steam train in a station with a platform containing a bench and a luggage trolley. There’s a clock overhead

Latest book book complete.
This one was a birthday present. Lovely to do and nice to ignore the real world for a little.

Imagine the ‘let’s look back on 2026’ reels!!

Photo of the lake near me, which we walk around daily. Winter trees, grey blue sky and quite a brown lake given the recent rain

Out on Milo’s walk.. and hear me out on this .. Binterest - like Pinterest but with all the best bins for dogs to sniff.

Sunset over the vineyard and river at Painshill Park

The view down to the lake from within Gothic Temple

Painshill Park looking as stunning as ever from a few days ago now.

The milk has not be affected

A fridge - absolutely stacked with bottles of milk on every shelf

Anyone that used to work with me in the past will appreciate this - the office fridge in our shared kitchen.

Eclectic.
Always.

I’m not sure about a storm called ‘Bram’
Is it some sort of Vampire-based tribute?

Yes.
Exactly as you would expect it to.

Eventually they will be this size.

Seems inefficient to be honest

Well - I was quite enjoying the 90’s retro this year until it expanded into the Ashes.

#Ashes

Always glass half full. I’ve been gifted 50 flumps - it’s all good

A card illustrated with a cartoon in a tapestry style with a sentry cut in half - and the number 50 with the text ‘officially half a sentry’

Milo, my Bichon frisée - giving me the big eyes as he sits on the floor next to the sofa where I am trying to eat my sandwich

When eating your lunch feels like a spectator sport

#DogsOfBluesky

This would be a very good result

I agree - they have all been great this year

To be fair, I’ve been hoping they’d do poncho week for years now - largely involving a bin bag and a pair of scissors.

I know my skill set.
So no expertise at all, but I admire Gaynor’s stickability and calmness. She may well win in the end!
