The painting is up, and I love it more than ever 😍

Storm's a comin' #StormBram

And I got to meet the big man himself #BelvoirCastle

Had a fab afternoon at Belvoir Castle. Such a beautiful place and wonderful staff and volunteers too.

@eatingonlyapples.bsky.social guess what I'm watching 😊

My new* table has been delivered 🥰😍🤩 *lovingly restored old Ercol

All finished. Just need to clean down and put everything away. Happy days.

Shipwrecks and family memories in today's @theguardian.com country diary by Nick Acheson @themarshtit.bsky.social #countrydiary #naturewriting

Why am I even watching #gameofwool? It is the worst iteration of this genre.

#GameOfWool is shit. Knitting deserves better treatment.

Spray tanner: What shade would you like today? Tess: I think Oompah Loompah orange would be perfect. #Strictly

There's been a big of a hiccup this afternoon as it turns out that the pale blue tiles aren't pale blue. They're horrible shiny metal covered with a pale blue protective film. Other than taking them all off and starting again,which isn't an option, the solution is to paint each one by hand. 🙄🙈👀🤬

Hole!

Happy workers sorting the dodgy plumbing out #Shaunthechippy #Vinnytheplumber

And if you’re not following you won’t see them. And if you don’t see them, then where will that leave you? Exactly.

Been out delivering flyers around the village in the sunshine. If you want to do something properly lovely, do come to this. The best home made cakes and real crafts in a Victorian school - now our village hall. Those in the know will tell you that it’s just delightful. #norfolk

Tiling has happened. I also have a beautiful new hand crafted window-sill 🙂

Steer clear of the Longwater rea of Norwich. There's been an accident on William Frost Way, and the whole area is gridlocked.

Taking Flight is the history of flight in the animal kingdom. Insects, pterosaurs, birds, bats. Shortlisted – to the bemused astonishment of anyone who ever taught me science – for the Royal Society Science Book Prize. levparikian.com/index.php/pr...

It's starting to look like a kitchen now. The tiles are going to look fab too!

I keep telling myself that I'm not getting stressed about all this. Then I look down and see my fingernails bitten down to the quick..

It's coming on..

Things are, quite literally, falling apart!!

It's going well!

And so it begins...

I can't shut off the conservatory because the new work surfaces are in the way, so any heat will just be sucked out of the room. It's a ase of multiple layers and cats as hot water bottles 😬😂🥶

I haven't resorted to putting the heating on yet, but I have now got my warmest wool duvet on the bed.

Watching #GameofWool and losing the will to live..

When you're happily pootling around the country lanes and a five thousand + flock of pink-footed geese erupts across the road in front of you. #Norfolkwintermagic

It's arrived!

The app finally updated at 6 this morning to tell me they should be here around lunchtime 🙄🙄

Well, @Wickes order tracking is proving to be absolutely useless. Looks like it's going to be an early start and a long day..

Waiting to hear what time the new kitchen is being delivered. At the moment it's between 07.00hrs and 18.00hrs,so it could be a long day!

Happy Exploding Whale Carcass Day to all who celebrate.

This one is not in my good books tonight..

The worn remnants of Second World War defences, washed up on Blakeney Point. Lest we forget.

It's been a very quiet week. As a small business owner that’s a bit scary heading into my busy season. So, if you're looking for unique #Christmas gifts, I make prints, homewares, cards & accessories inspired by midcentury design, music & architecture. Have a nosy here gailmyerscough.co.uk

What a glorious start to the day!

Genuinely think this is the best way forward. Ask yourself: what CAN’T it do? Imagine this bad boy scuttling along under your Aston Martin. YEAH BABY

My very good friends at Felbeck Trust @felbecktrust.bsky.social have a fundraiser in November. They do wonderful work for nature with dedicated volunteers. It’s an honour to be their patron. If you’re in Norfolk please attend and support www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/an-evening...

I have a super, smooth kitchen ceiling thanks to @coughtreygary! If you're in need of a plasterer, then I can't recommend Gary highly enough.

Plastering is underway!

If you or your children or pets find the sound of #fireworks disturbing, here are some episodes with lots going on. Listen to help with distraction and escape.

Autumn's Fingers. A new post on Substack. Grateful for the RT's. open.substack.com/pub/intotheh... #photography #autumn

It had to be done as it was very sick, but the garden looks awfully empty without it 🥺

RTing this because I'm not all fascism, fascism, fascism. Will also be chatting about all this next week. www.nhsn.org.uk/events/richa...

The old Rowan is felled, but my cherry is blossoming 🌸
