Things I wasn't expecting to do today: footing a ladder for my brother.

It’s Just Us*

The Outside from this morning. Usually the puddle doubles as a pigeon wash.

An brief jaunt on the dial to "Friday Night is Music Night" which has taken me back to being a kid and Dad picking me up from (church) badminton club and this was always on.

And today on Blue Peter, we’ll be showing you how you can make your own Nobel Prize Medal, using milk bottle tops, pipe cleaners and some sticky-backed plastic.

Well I'm still at work but on the Dad stakes. Apparently enjoyed "The Centre" Talked About his Brother lots Ate Scampi n Chips Had pudding with Custard Mum very happy.

Exciting news! Thanks to huge popular demand our #CM150 exhibition at Sidcup has been extended to 10th May, giving you three more opportunities to book a slot on Tuesday-Thursday and a small number of Saturdays. #WhatsOn #Museums #TrueCrime

Winter Columbo It turns to leave and then says, "Oh! Just one more thing."

Friday.

Well this was bloody brilliant and bizarrely despite all the delays, ended up on the same train as my Theatre Disaster friend so a positive evening. Good to really laugh.

And of course, a major travel buggeration when I stupidly thought I could leave work on time to enjoy Doing Something.

Tambaryuu No Chi-tan, a dinosaur whose stripes are layers of rock with fossils inside, is the mascot for Tamba City, where dinosaur bones were dug up.

"You sounded a bit stressed on the call" Really, did I, how amazing is that seeing as yes, you maraudering twatknacker, I am.

Lo! It is not being a day of zen like calm. Just want to get something completed without the interruptions from Fuckwits United.

Forgotten this was proof I ventured outside this morning.

This is a catamaran map. It has two Hulls *Ay thang yew*

My head really hurts today and I'd like to poke people with hatpins as a way of coping. This is apparently Not Allowed.

Fingers crosse it goes ok for Mum today. She is taking Dad to view a day care place he's been offered. Would be such a break for her if he can do it.

Only excitement from yesterday (other than soup remained excellent) was someone wanted a meeting recorded. It turned out to be a very snarky and verbal "see you outside later, car park" type of call.

Well that's a SUPER time to be finishing work. I assume there was daylight at some point.

Finally finished my contribution to #CorsetRevivalProject #upcycling contemporary corsets saved from landfill. I’ve highlighted the Arctic Whaling Trade where the whalebone/baleen came from. Working on a 3d base has been a real challenge!

"No such thing as a stupid question" Have a fair bit of evidence today to the contrary. #StrengthToSmiteThemAll

Not thrilled by the potential content of a lot of this week.

Small things seen

Righto, off to proffer up my arm for the benefit of strangers. And a biscuit.

Perefect timing for that yelling Keith - co inciding with me thinking the same about my noisy BASTARDING neighbours and their thumpasaurus kids #NutsInMay

Poor old Ray #NutsInMay

Size of that bisuit tin #NutsInMay

Let's ask Ray! #NutsInMay

Can't not stick to the schedule #NutsInTheMay

if you've not seen it get on bbc4 now #nutsinmay

Definitely recommend Marty Supreme. Proper pay attention film. Most enjoyable.

Do believe it is Going To The Cinema type of a day.

Dear god, the Blood Donor texts are like having a nagging Gran on your phone. I have an appointment I know that, I made it. "Bring a blanket, stay warm, have plenty to drink and eat, leave enough time"

One of the paintings to make me pause was this as it felt like it could have been some advert for Mirage/Taboo 80s style drinks rather than from 1930. Salome by Francis Picabia

Always like spotting some one who looks too contemporary when gallery mooching, and this time it was the smoking baker. Who looks like the bloke in my local shop. Attractive arms.

Mud pies, christmas puddings and seahorses. Ian Dury could have used that lot for Reasons To Be Cheerful.

Inside my stupid brain feels grim, for no particular reason or event happening, just feels everything is a few shades duller and a lot of things feel pointless.

Good Morning Bluesky BIG DUCK!

In theory it is finishing slightly early today as I have an early evening ticket at the National Portrait Gallery. In reality I imagine it will be a breathless scramble not to be late.

S! T! Oo! G-E-S! Stooges to entertain you!
