Are you a secret treasure?

I was worried my Yorkshire pud wouldn’t rise. I was wrong.

Nobody is more excited than me about their upcoming dinner. Nobody.

When I think about how often Wayne Sleep was on children’s television in my childhood it amazes me he’s not better remembered today.

Is there a greater luxury than a nap on a warm, sunny afternoon? I think not. Windows open, doors open, air flowing. Bliss.

I got Ganesh and ganache mixed up so now I have a huge chocolate elephant in my kitchen. #LunchPun #Pun

Once I’m asleep you’ll not be able to read my dreams so I’m off now. Sleep tight. N’night.

Massive veg tonight. Hurray!

It’s the 490th anniversary of the birth of Pope Clement VIII, who in 1600, on being advised to ban coffee, asked to inspect “Satan’s drink” and pronounced it “so delicious that it would be a pity to let the infidels have exclusive use of it”. According to legend, at least... 🧵

Bedtime, my hairy-chested musclecars. Sleep tight. Sweet dreams.

Work since Saturday. Busy #studio. Really enjoying playing with colour sticking with brushes for lovely mark making. All drying for finishing touches #artistslife

Just back from the local pre-launch event for the BMW iX3 Neue Klasse. Deeply impressive.

Watching ep 4 of Lynley and Leo Suter (6’ 2”) is utterly dwarfed by the bloke playing the university professor. He must be 6’ 10”.

I like sleeping, sleeping is good

Just had a dream about my dad. He seemed in good spirits, which was nice to know.

I noticed yesterday that for the first time in longer than I can remember, Finn doesn’t have a thin scab across his nose. He must be calming down.

Have you been cursing the twigs, or snapping them?

I’ve started to clear the bit outside the bathroom window and it’s very clear I need to replace approximately 40cm of quite small plastic pipe. If I can buy replacement in under 3m lengths it’ll be a miracle.

When you watch a Victorian thing it’s astounding to me anybody had sex back then simply due to the danger of incurable syphilis.

Have you ever been blown up in a cellar and somehow survived?

Oh hello and good morning ☀️(☔) Please may I come round and stare at you like this? 🐈‍⬛❤️

Today is the 229th anniversary of the last time Britain was invaded by a hostile foreign power. What’s that? Something about 1066? Ah, yes – same source of invasion (those damned, beastly French), but different outcome. This was the last time foreign troops *landed* on British shores... 🧵

Started clearing the brambles from the gravel garden, but it’s such a huge task I’ll pick it up again piecemeal during the week.

One thing that never ceases to amaze me is how late people used to go to bed in older novels. It feels like nobody in the 20s-50s ever slept before 1am. How did they function?

I was in bed fairly early and woke with a start at 10:44 feeling like I’d had a full night of sleep. I then slept through until 2:30 and I’ve been too warm and awake ever since. Ugh.

Really menacing dream. Woke up quite alarmed.

I’m getting up to drive to Stoneleigh. I’m not keen on this enterprise. I’d rather stay in bed for a couple of hours. Oh, well.

Ther's a big difference between, mostly, localised populations of larger deer (Red, Fallow, Sika) and very widespread Muntjac, of which there are huge numbers in (sub)urban areas, where shooting is not practical. Reintroducing predators would help, particularly Lynx. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’ll be asleep quite soon. N’night; all. Sleep tight.

I’m in bed and I forgot to make my lunch for tomorrow so I’ll have to do it in a hurry in the morning, and that’s just no fun.

Why did ITV have a thing in the mid-noughties for soft-focus in their drama? It’s most annoying.
