@rgpoulussen.bsky.social Look at this: my brother-in-law with Mme Gondrée and the model he made of Pegasus Bridge (complete with Horsa glider) for last year's 80th anniversary... which she now has in her café...

Costumes on deck really bothered me There are days on period dramas I want to grab costume designers by the lapels and scream at them til it's drilled into them: "MEN, HAT, GLOVES, CANE (cane til 1930s)" "WOMEN, HAT, GLOVES, HANDBAG, RIGHT UP TO THE 1970s"

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

TBF she's just so damn cute! Someone woke up on a good day when they designed my little tank, and later successors just can't match her aggressive but cute curves. She's also taller with a higher wheelbase than the young pretender

Decided against it It's a damn good car, VERY good, can recommend But not cute enough to lure me away from my little orange tank My car makes me smile every time, it's orange and cute and chunky 🤗🥰 That's my benchmark. Keeping her til I find another that makes me smile

Parcels arrived Procrastination commenced RIGHT Let's try this again, shall we 🤦🏼‍♀️

Test drive adventure done Shopping done Outfit for friend's wedding chosen Phone call home done Now HERE WE GO; Inching through the proof edit and final polish, should manage at least 5 pages today 🤦🏼‍♀️

Well... Took it for a test drive. Handling, poise, acceleration, road grip, driving position, responsiveness, all excellent Arse looks a bit 'Jeep' but the rest looks decent I DON'T KNOW 🥺 I love my little orange tank so muchnessness, but she's just costing me money now 🥺

Car had a special washy, and I feel soooo bad 🥺 She SO shiny & cute, but test driving a Frontera tomorrow. Not sure I can afford or want to replace my orange tank 🥺 But considering a hybrid before everyone shifts to electric and I rarely see a design like that I'd be willing to change her for

Tripped over in the gym. After the session. Showing him a photo of the Aston Martin. Then brain wouldn't do the whole standing up thing and had to sit down for two minutes Oh yes, and broke my glasses Great start to the day, anyway

Slight improvement on last time the hippies protested during Vietnam, and the national guard shot them

Completely lost in the sauce 😌

(Chef's kiss)

I need a ceiling light, and I also can't find a replacement for my old beautiful recycled glass wine glasses (they discontinued the design because they did indeed keep breaking) But literally either on the entire internet are bland or meh and I don't like any of them

I do remember being stunned in Canada to find sales tax being charged on books. It just seems inherently twisted Everyone should have access to books, sandwiches of knowledge and the learnin' 🥰❤️🥰❤️

People raging about fare dodging or shoplifting, and then saying what's the problem with breaking the speed limit really are the height of societal cognitive dissonance "Only people who do things I don't do are breaking the law, not me, I'm superior" is... A take.

Late working meant I met the other office writer, who's working on a fantasy novel 🥰 We did writing yakking instead of working for a bit 🥰

Happy with this photo 😎 9pm work finish Night-hewn streets of London looking Gorgeous 🥰❤️ And Underground Vibing

Actually history is warm and fuzzy, horrific, beautiful, ugly, awesome, terrible, funny and grim Because life and humanity are complicated History should be complicated, it can be warm, fuzzy, cosy, awful, horrific and grim, as long as it's all of them, not one of them, and never simple

Ducks have regional accents.

Unexpected Birchy now 4ft and counting! 😍 He grow so fastnessness! ☺️🤗 Google swearing blind he's a silver birch (one of my favourites 🥰❤️) but he's not silvery at all yet, 👀 mebbe they go grey with age 🤷🏼‍♀️

Also dream Phil needs to take better care of his show horses, who wanted a lie down when he got them out the horsebox And if anyone's worried, apparently me and my orange tank (car) are the ultimate front line against invasion in suburbia Hefty symbolism dream and a half

So last night dreamt we went to war with Russia Extremely vivid but the aircraft were so unlikely, especially the blue helo picking up rusting helos from overgrown suburban Berkshire, and omg the architecture in my dreams is awesome Late Victorian tenements this time

Third time this week a spider has fallen on my face opening the blinds I really need to get plantation shutters Still, am now getting used to it and it was a single swipe and a "flippin' spiders" reaction, so establishing my hardcore credentials

Made a new friend at the station

Cocktails Inhibitions melted away, still 50% sober, waking up because night time, my time, and my friends are knackered and want to go home early 🤦🏼‍♀️ Strode down Soho daring some fucker try it on, I have tensions I need to punch out Oh well Home it is Not even midnight ffs

I keep forgetting I'm on here. Apologies to peeps replying with proper responses that I haven't got around to answering. I've bookmarked loads to respond on my phone tabs and then forgot I was on here!

In two minds of this response from my mentor on my redraft Whether to go squeeeeeee I am amazing and just go 🥰 I'm good 😎 I can write Or like "NOOO, I need feedback to polish it for the production company!!!! What might cause them to turn it down and how do I fix that!!!!!"

I GOT SOME WRITING DONE 🥰 And I actually really like it 🙂 It's shit, there are probably no stakes but my god I don't care I can write and it's fun and if people like it they like it if they don't they don't 🖋️ 📝📽️

Almost movie time! 📽️ Local indie cinema is having its birthday same day, and there are free drinks and canapes, so I am standing near the kitchen door I know no one so just eating, tweeting for an hour on my own 😎 Yes, I do want to have my premier here One Day

I still don't sound amazing as I'm still a total (and I mean total) beginner, and fluffing up all the string changes But I'm actually quite surprised how more than pleasant my cello is starting to sound, some of it quite beautiful and I'm like "is that us?" And cello be "yup

After F1 and footie films, FINALLY a proper sports film 🥰 Tickets books for Big Star: The Nick Skelton Story at my local cinema 🥰❤️ 🐴 🍿

Just a girl in Ralph Lauren, Bicester Village Natural habitat 🥰 (Jacket was 1299. Did not buy it. Weirdly. Did get amazing urge to get home and finish the damn script redraft)

For anyone who needs a brush up on armour. Love to do this but don't have the time or cash this summer But if you do, venture along!

Not being funny, they look I could take them all out one on one Bond needs to be able to hold his own against someone barely 8.5st with barely any boxing training These bois ain't it

Stressful view this long weekend after lunch with a friend. Last day of the holiday today. Writing this afternoon. Sigh. Hardships

Still on my long weekend holiday. Trying to get a lie in. Someone woke me up ringing my doorbell. I duly ignored it and tried to go back to sleep. Only to suddenly remember... I don't have a doorbell 👀 Nor was one ever fitted to my house

Sunny day so strolled to chemist for new toothpaste to get out (procrastinate from writing on my long weekend). Instant regret. Like warm soup out there, energy sapping. Got home too warm and sweaty How do people LIKE this weather???? 🥺

Process flow burned my brain. My solution? Snacking in the park Getting a nervous twitch thinking of even getting back to this absolute mother of projects. Wouldn't want any other job, but my god, single most difficult and complex thing I've ever done, even incl the script 🤦🏼‍♀️

Decent burn 🔥

Tweed off, jacket on, disengaging rural mode, re-engaging London vibe 😎

To be fair, the octopus should've technically been baptising him, he hasn't even got tentacles

Trying to get motivation with Fort Minor "Remember the Name", unfortunately it's 9pm, I'm not likely to write tonight, I'm yawning, and I forgot to set the timer on the oven pre-heat so will be eating even later youtu.be/VDvr08sCPOc?...

Finishing off the weekend with mango treat

Happy father's day to the world's greatest dad (sorry if you thought yours was, this one is). Parents getting older and treasuring every day I have with them One awesome dad who tells me I'm a son he can proud of 😂😂
