Lovely (but breezy) walk along the beach today, followed by pizza and then coffee and cake. Days off are great.

My printer is not ok. Does it need a software update? A hug? Is this a secret code that’s about to set me off on some kind of Indiana Jones style adventure? Who knows? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just caught next door chucking snails over the fence onto my veg patch. Bloody cheek. 🐌

Everyone, meet Tiny Tim. Tiny Tim is being hand-reared by the lambing team at Shugborough. He's smaller than the other lambs, but building up strength to join them outside. Here he is modelling a jumper knitted for him by Vicky from the lambing team ❤️

@holmfirthartist.bsky.social I said I’d remind you! 👇🏼

If you are looking for something other than more bad news I give you this

Came home to find that I have tomatoes!

First day back at work after a week off and I’ve already been shouted and sworn at. Happy days. I think a work from home job may be the way forward.

Would you like to be thoroughly unprepared for an experience? Yes

We had a leaving do for a colleague at lunchtime and everyone was crowding around the buffet table like it was the last helicopter out of Saigon. Honestly, I’m embarrassed for my greedy workmates. That was gross.

Please repost & help me find a home (UK) for Johnny. Needed through absolutely no fault of his own - details in alt text. Scottish Borders but will travel. Many thanks.

Went exploring today.

It has been A Day. I’ve taken out a second mortgage and treated myself to a mars bar from the hospital shop.

GNU Terry Pratchett 💜

Fire alarm at work. Some people really love the chance to hold a clipboard and wear a high-vis vest, don’t they?

Anyone interested?

I've got some leave to use up so l'm not back at work until Monday. Today l've been to the gym, braved the supermarket, tidied and cleaned some flowerpots ready for spring planting and now I'm sitting in the sunshine with a book. Pleased that the primroses I grew last year are still going strong.

Beautiful sunset this evening.

What’s the best nickname of a friend you know of? Bloke in our pub had quite a large hooter so was known as Mick The Nose. Tired of the nose (and name) he resorted to plastic surgery which sorted the nose out and now everyone calls him Mick The Nosejob.

For the first time in ages I walked home in the sunshine, and it was lovely.

Early morning gym session, veg chilli in the slow cooker, now I have coffee and The A-Team on telly. I love it when a plan comes together.

“Get your crown on, you’re nicked”

It’s finally stopped raining! Have a good weekend, everyone.

We took our dog for a walk and the sun almost came out. But it’s raining now, just for a change.

So that’s why that plant looks half dead.

This is one of my favorite optical illusions, because even when you know specifically HOW IT WORKS, it's still hard to make your brain believe it. The image below is real-world video, but you're being tricked into believing it's an elaborate miniature by the DIORAMA EFFECT. Let's talk about it.

I’m only working two days this week. Very proud of past me for saying ‘bugger this’ and booking some leave.

Amazing. What an achievement to get the career slam. 🏆

Catherine O’Hara made me laugh so much in Schitt’s Creek. What a sad loss.

Vaping on public transport now, are we? What a treat for those of us sitting around you.

KEEP CLEAR OF ME. No, seriously, I mean it.

A colleague helped herself to some of my Hula Hoops and I am shook. Shook, I tell ya!

Use this post as an excuse to post one of your favourite characters.

Came across this online and it seems like a worthy cause to get behind - c.org/JdpJRjK2zP

Still think some of them were hiding. #BigGardenBirdwatch

Hoping the sun stays out and we have lots of little visitors for the #BigGardenBirdwatch today. 🐦‍⬛

They never tell you these are the sort of risks that come with privatisation, wrestling with bloody ancient-god-tentacles when you want a bloody cup of tea.

Cannot wait to get home, get in my PJs, and relax. People have been quite challenging today.

Lovely walk around the park this afternoon.

The most important post you’ll read today. 🍌

Happy Birthday Dave Grohl 🎂

Freshly harvested kale from the veg patch. #GrowYourOwn

Fireworks again, is it? Apparently it’s important to celebrate 6.30pm on 3rd January.
