That's it, the electric blanket is back on the bed. Winter is here ❄️

I was the patiently waiting husband while Reece got fitted up today

It gets worse. They're making her serve up the cooked flesh of her extended family

My local butchers is advertising an appearance by Peppa Pig today. Poor Peppa is going to be traumatised when she sees Daddy pig chopped up in the window

Had a week off with the husband, spent time in a cabin and hot tub, assembled flat pack furniture, visited the tip, did some day drinking, went to London. I got a glimpse of retirement and I think I like it. Bonus picture of Purdy meeting some alpacas

Lunch at the Ivy followed by Operation Mincemeat

Just watched The Last Stand of Mrs Mary Whitehouse @nottmplayhouse.bsky.social - Blown away by the cast of two. I think I'd book tickets just to watch Maxine Peake read the Yellow Pages

A long dog walk, à few pints, aunt Chinese food and in bed by 9. I'm old enough for that to be a good Saturday

It's been a hell of a week at work. Tonight has been time to relax and enjoy some time with the husband. And Purdy is enjoying using my leg as a pillow

How I know I'm old #375 It's bank holiday Monday, it's sunny, and instead of being in a beer garden, I'm sat with a mint tea and a book

Snacks before date night dinner

Coming to the end of an 11 hour work day and am flagging 🫩

Ready for Ashby Pride. Loving the new @artbyvillain.bsky.social t-shirt

All set up for a date night dinner

Hoping to get through today without posting an angry message in the wrong teams chat 😳

Since I turned 45 every advert online seems to be for retirement planning 👴 Dread to think what else the algorithms are going to start sending my way

After turning 45 on Friday, we decided on a last minute trip to York. Home now after a couple of days of eating, drinking and general touristy stuff. In bed with a cuppa, and snuggles with the spaniel.

This weekends new purchase. Finally got rid of the old IKEA unit and got a vintage bookcase

Read my local MPs contribution to the Pride debate in the House of Commons this week 🏳️‍🌈 Well done @samanthaniblett.bsky.social Couldn't be more different to our last MP

I'm 45 in a few weeks. I'm so very tired and can't figure out how to keep this up till I retire. Can anyone recommend a sugar daddy that wants to keep me and Reece in the manner to which we've become accustomed. Failing that, any tips for picking lottery numbers

Bought myself a cheap ESP32 board to geek out and actually do some programming. Behold, the Sondheim-o-tronic. Boots up and displays posts from the @sondheimlyric.bsky.social account. Along with some of my favourite other lyrics.

Who else is Eurovision ready?

Beck to work tomorrow after a week on a cruise ship 😭😭 Would quite like to be heading back to Southampton instead of the office

Home from holiday and I think the spaniel has missed me 🥰🥰

If wine before beer makes you feel queer, does anyone know what wine before negroni does? Asking for a friend...

Snowy, squinting, selfie up a mountain

Got up early this morning to watch us sail up the fjord. Each time I visit I'm more convinced that Norway can't be real and is just a special effects company showing off how hyperreal they can make landscapes look

Watched an awesome sunset from the ship last night

Holiday time is here. The morning started with bucks fizz. The afternoon has been sauvignon blanc and crisps. Who knows where the evening will end

Finally, a recipe I can cook

Reece is cooking our dinner outside for the first time this year. Summer is on its way ☀️☀️

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek or LOTR)

I think the slogan needs updating. Looks more like "The milky bars are on Ozempic"

Spent some of my bank holiday weekend learning some new tech skills. With a cheap ESP32 board with a touchscreen - behold the Sondheim-o-tronic. Dispensing Steve's lyrics on a loop

Spending the afternoon watching fit men in tight shorts 🏉🏉🏉

Well this is a little camp 💅. I've never seen the film but this is batshit crazy

The middle aged lady in the seat next to me has a nude of her husband as her lock screen picture 😂😂 and I know it's her husband as he's sitting opposite

Purdy is a bitch with expensive taste 🤣

Properly sunny out there today. It needs to stay that way until I can get to a beer garden later

Seems like Victoria Scone is dressed as Victoria Sponge tonight 🤣

Left Reece wearing his glad rags at the Olivier Awards tonight and taken a wander into Soho for a pint or two before my work colleagues arrive later

All I did was ask one of them to get me another drink, and they're giving me evils

Work done for the week. Time for beer and snacks

It's Spring, it must be time to buy a new tent #camp

Taken @reecetwiggwhite.bsky.social out for some fine dining. Pork Pie and a cheese and onion cob

Doing a beer festival and all I've eaten today is a slice of toast at breakfast. And he's got a lovely big organ on the stage

No cheating! Post the last photo of your pet(s)

Away for the weekend at a pod. I lost the toss to drink from the only wine glass here. And I'm losing 2-1 to @reecetwiggwhite.bsky.social at the works smallest connect 4

Feels like spring is arriving. Sun is out and even my breakfast has a golden tone

Was at a very posh restaurant and me and Reece got the giggles when the sommelier announced he really likes a Semillon
