Dianne…

The memories that conversations on here trigger 🥰 PANTYGIRDLES* God, remember them? But, aged 11 😳 And, borrowed from Mum (yes, knickers worn underneath). I suppose they were precursors to Spanx but, still. *also brilliant Terry Pratchett Discworld place name IRC.

It is now officially too damned cold to stand nekked on the bathroom scales. Clothing adds half a stone, yes? 😉

@spookyaxetent.bsky.social thanks for adding me to your list Axe, I see I’m in good company ☺️

Watch this short film 📺 which summarises the key findings and recommendations 👇 covid19.public-inquiry.uk/documents/mo...

There are some Mister Friendos in my shoppe again! hellohalloweeno.etsy.com/listing/4461...

Whew. I just hit 1,000 paid supporters of my science newsletter. (Kevin Kelly's magic number! 😭) Since I'm a non-scientist (ex-archaeologist, ex-travel writer), it's after half a decade of imposter syndrome & a lot of experimental blundering about! But here's one useful thing I've learned... 1/

@sparklyfellelf.bsky.social hiya, how’s your sister doing?

Time to deploy the Big Slippers™️

Go to your camera roll and search “boat” and then post a pic of a boat you like

@fussycoder.bsky.social hey, you and Mols ok? How’s her leg boo-boo?

We have a field mouse who visits the hedgehog feeding station for handy snax. Lifted the feeding hopper today and look what mousy had constructed underneath it 🥰. 🦔 hasn’t been around for a couple of weeks so I’m guessing mousy is all 🐭💭more for meeeeee. (More in alt text)

@matsyendrasana.bsky.social hope all is ok today and you get answers quickly x

Bent down behind the chair in the kitchen to turn up the radiator - found Shelob’s Lair 😳 Slitters seem to be her snack of choice 😬.

Yup no tariffs on original artworks so if you’re interested and living in the USA I’m in need of some work at the moment. Go on treat yourself to a commissioned piece with your own special creatures painted on real gold leaf. Art after all is one of life’s essentials

RAINBOWS! We only got wet once. Didn’t find any gold.

Go on then, I’ll treat you to another passing steam train 😁. This was one of those fancy day trip ones … NOT cheap 😳😳.

While we kill time waiting for CT to start, have some nice scenery.

And bonus chuffa train video. Sorry about the wobbles, it was moving a bit quicker than I expected.

Lovely to see the NYMR steam loco is running now the risk of moorland fires has stopped.

Squirrels might be miffed but lookit this little lot!

If you hit the charms in the right sequence it opens a wormhole to another galaxy. I can hear Walter saying “chevron horse encoded” #iykyk

One of the many many reasons we love the North Yorkshire coastline

On the budgie bus 😂

A weasel has just run across the patio where we’re on holiday 😍😁

Something for a rainy afternoon 😊

I’m not one to complain but why are the kitchen knives in self catering places never sharp? And suddenly reminded of Dad, who always carried a razor sharp penknife in his pocket. He was a practical man but was that also a generational thing? Think it’d be frowned on these days…

*whistles nonchalantly*

Chaos doesn’t usually turn out well. Remember Fiona? #celebritytraitors

James Blunt being a good team player in the missionsshould keep him in for a while. #celebritytraitors

New harlequin design lapmat added. Extra large with pocket for heated pad inside. craftysharp.etsy.com/listing/4581...

We're trying to find a home for, and I quote, "the Pissfingers of cats." Any takers? ❤️

I can't get over how much it costs now to send a small parcel Royal Mail tracked 48 😫 Anyway if anyone is interested, I have some acrylic charms to de-stash on my website and obviously I will combine postage. merylinmoonuk.sumupstore.com/products?cat...

I see the bedroom spider portal has activated again 😳

Haircut time again. Better wash behind my ears.

Fox sits in gold and brambles as the crisp air draws near. He breathes out, accepting the shift in the year. Cold is returning, inviting him to retreat, the trees speak of change and hope of release. No need to hold tightly, just trust and know. #AutumnEquinox teaches the spirit to let go. #Autumn🍂

Bit distracted by the wooden box and pouches used in the closing scenes of Reacher finale bearing a strong resemblance to a Traitors’ “choose to end game or vote again” sequence.
