Ellie loves to help make the bed 😻

I ❤️ nutella #nutella

It begins! #Nutella

It begins! #Nutella

This, but fruit pastilles

So beautiful. Not remotely peaceful thanks to the ever-present arse with the leaf blower who follows me round. Thank god for noise cancelling earbuds.

@misterabk.bsky.social My mum apologises for the haunting palaver #Uncanny #MrsMyers

Whaaaat! I’ve been a bit sick in my mouth #TheArchers #eyebleach

Striking in the dark but the mystery is way deeper. I found this harp carefully cased in the attic of my previous French house. No mystery, Dad played the fiddle and Mum took up the harp. But she swears blind this is not hers. So someone broke into my house and put a harp in the attic. Obviously.

Ellie making her feelings clear about today. It’s Sink Into The Duvet Sunday #cosy

“Lies were told with ease because words had lost their meaning - and had ceased to be taken seriously by others”. I’m rereading Wild Swans & Jung Chang’s description of life in China 1958-62 feels startlingly current. “To go along with the frenzy was by far the easiest course”. Oh fuck.

I would totally have called it Hilda #TheArchers

Ellie getting a withering look from Thanos as she parks her butt on his 😻

The upstairs terrace comes into its own when the leaves fall, got this splendid view of some tractor action over the road #recolte

I love to sit in my shed and watch dusk fall. Never alone or scared with my trusty warrior kitten 😻

Working in LA. Well, not in. Or near. Or anywhere close. More a kinda LA/Soho/Shepherds Bush situation #audioproduction

Smirk. Walked out with this baby under the furious gaze of all the kids in Carrefour whose parents wouldn’t buy it for them. Don’t blame them either €€€ but sometimes being an adult has its compensations 🎄

Don’t know about you, but I’m having quite the wide leg trouser moment. Isn’t there a correlation between hems and the economy, skirts got longer and shorter during/after WW2. Maybe roomy legs allow for the waft of despair?

podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t... This is so good and so much needed right now #TheMoment

"The former Prince will be moved to a private residence on the Sandringham Estate owned by the King."

Too fucking right, eviscerated is exactly the word #CreativeIndustries

Minority representation on TV causes outrage From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

Loving the symmetrical colour 🍁

”The homeward road was very long, I haven’t met a soul Now the evenings grow gloomier and colder Come comfort me a little, for the journey takes its toll And I’m suddenly so alone" Tove Jansson's lyrics for 'The #Autumn Song' 🍂🧡🍂 (Via Moomins FB).

“No man ever ran away with his entrails hanging down to his knees and his head cut off”. Quality dialogue from #Vikings for a Sunday afternoon

Ellie says it’s been a long week 😻

Me and the shed prepped for #StormBenjamin After last year’s project rewatching all 11 series of The Walking Dead (and ready for S3 #DarrylDixon) I’m redoing Vikings #BloodEagle

Getting baby bird vibes off this mushroom, not sure I can bear to eat it 🍄‍🟫

I power washed the bin and I feel so ALIVE #dullwomen #oddlysatisfying

Did Amber think Bartleby was going to be put on a plane to Switzerland. #TheArchers

This is my maternal Grandmother (sadly I never met her) but it does explain my deep and genuine enjoyment of appliances. Gave our winter duvet a refreshing twirl through the dryer and thought, Kitty Watt from Arbroath would have approved 🧺 #redlichties

So popular you have to wait outside the teeny shop but oh my word it’s worth it. Got a #happyskybakery picnic ready to go for the drive home tomorrow 🎌

Lady taking my passport photo: Do you want me to retake tour photo? You look angry. Me: I am angry Her: But you’ll look angry on here for the next 10 years. Me: I’ll still be angry in 10 years

Little bouncy bird home from Craggy (because I’m SCOTTISH, did I mention that 😂) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I do adore this Embraer fleet, you get to feel all the bumps 🇮🇲

Mum’s snoozing after our sociable morning (got a dear old friend of hers over for a good gossip) so now I get my favourite afternoon entertainment. Ride up to Port Erin, cake on the beach and ride home 🚂 #isleofman

Amazing pics tucked away at my Mum’s. My Grannie in traditional fisher costume on a bus trip to Blackpool, my Grandad outside the shop that sold his smokies and older Grannie baiting nets. Yep, I’m definitely Scottish (always said I can’t help my stupid accent, family moved South) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿#Arbroath

We celebrated FREE SPEECH in the village yesterday. We called each other bastards & fuckers. Everyone said Jill in the village shop was a bitch & should be jailed. I called Dean our paperboy a lying wanker and Bunty said Simple Sally should be burnt for being a slut. 🇬🇧

Hang on, Adoom thinks Home Farm is on shifting sands? Is this not like the previous government being furious about the way the UK was run when they were running it? #TheArchers

Neatly sums up the mood in the UK right now #W12

Christ, those #LimeBikes are being ridden by nutters all over town today. Citymapper better start planning routes which avoid crossing any roads at all!

this is also how i direct actors

I dunno, #Barnier looked remarkably elegant even in his final political days but #Bayrou looks like a man desperate to get home and sit in his vest with a beer. Anyway, I’ve changed all my travel plans for next week. All looks a bit jittery!

Seriously tempted #TheArchers #AcademicArchers

Dumping your art is one thing, signing it with your name and postcode is something else. Reminds me of the time I got done for writing on my desk at school. Signed and dated 🤦‍♀️

Really enjoyed that coeur fondant but omg that nuclear temperature chocolate hurt. And yes, I could have waited for it to cool but … chocolate.

Christ above. These pitiful fucking cowards.

Tried the canon a mousse at the car wash. Getting strong Pingu and the popcorn vibes. Loadsa mousse 🫧

On the plus side, I’ll be dead of boredom long before the heat gets me #canicule #cantgoanywhere #atriptothebinswouldbenice
