A brick building with glass entrance. Called Champney Treasure House.

Visiting the town of Beverley. I love that the building that houses the library, museum and art gallery is called the Treasure House.

The last chapter of The Time Traveller's Wife. Tear it out, it works better.

I've gone grey from the top. Looks a lot like someone has dumped a bucket of whitewash on my head, in good old fashioned comedy style.
Less so now it is short.

I started going grey very early. I'm my 20s my hairdresser used to tell me that they were the best highlights she'd ever seen and would love to be able to replicate them.
Nowadays I'm just waiting for the two tone, badger like, phase to be over...

I imagine that would be a tinsy bit tricky...

Can you be nude while wearing slippers? Feels to me that wearing anything means the nude is no longer nude.

Thankyou, I needed this tonight. ⭐️

It was. Also upsetting, anger making and inspiring all in one package. Genuinely excellent.

The History of Women in 101 Objects might be a bit too close to your subject, but it was my first 5 star book of the year.
I listened to it and there was some inspired casting. Mariam Margolyes reading about a glass dildo will remain in the memory for some time.

I missed these as a child. I finally listened to the Funnybones books a few years ago and thought them brilliant, if a little bonkers (in a good way).

It still beats the alternative.

Enjoy! And then tell all your friends about it.

You know they'd arrive as a nasty, sticky mess right now! All for an event today, I am looking forward to eating other people's cakes!!

I listened on Sounds yesterday while making 3 batches of chocolate cornflake cakes. And making a mess of the kitchen. 🧁🧁🧁
'Twas good.

It would fool me.
I used to go to an early spin class, not wearing my glasses. Chap in class used to smile at me every time. Took me 18 months to work out he was my neighbour. He went to spin in his contacts, but usually wears glasses. In my defence he was a bit blurry, but even so, that's poor!

Are you still digging and expanding the site and your knowledge about the dudes that lived in the palace.
How much more do you know than when I visited on a school trip in the 80s.
And when did you become a palace, rather than a villa? And what's the difference (apart from ego).

Any chance you can get this for me? www.instagram.com/reel/DK9hRFZ...

I had to re-read it and still couldn't get my head around it!

It is thoroughly excellent, I hope you all enjoy it and tell all your book buddies about it. My first 5⭐️ book of the year.
I listened to it, then bought a copy, I thought it that good.

Completely. If you don't get 5 takers today, pop them into a local school for their library. It's thst important a read.

Hi Simon. I recently read "The History of Women in 101 Objects". I would like to buy up to 5 copies of this fascinating, anger making, moving, funny and important book. Everyone ought to read it.

I visited here earlier in the year. Excellent little corner of the planet. I hope the event goes well.

Seeing the temperature has dropped, I've finally tackled the ironing mountain, which had reached Everest like proportions. Not finished, but it looks more like a foothill than a real peak now.
Watched all episodes of Arts in Motion on the iplayer. Excellent series, if you get the chance to watch it

Morning (just!) Womble.
I'm reading Latitudes of Longing for this month's Shelterbox book club.
And listening to The Man Who Went Up In Smoke, the 2nd in the Martin Beck series.

A yellow book cover. The title is Robert's Rules of Order. Newly Revised. In brief.

I am about to try to read what I suspect might be a rather dull book. The things I do for "fun".

Nope, can't see anyone acting the tourist there. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I had my hair cut yesterday and went even shorter than usual. Summer short, as my hairdresser described it.
Today it is 5C cooler and raining...

Payment sent.

Yes, that's fine. Excellent choice.

Trip to our London office. Productive day. Also got my 10k steps done - in heels! 👠
