Bluesky is a good thing because it's prompted me to play this again (thanks to @dnlmrkrssll.bsky.social). Left To My Own Devices is one of my top five songs ever.

Morning. 'I've excelled myself. I've done the common house spider'. Well, I'd say this is the Valet's best yet. How's your Sundays? For me it's a lie in then off to Cotmanhay to watch ballroom dancing.

My notifications are now a mess of different threads about mushy peas, tall men and badly buttered bread. Not quite sure how to reply to anything.

Nice walk along the river and Watersports Centre with my best mate, taking about the daft things we did in our youth. Bit of flooding along the way. Can see why Park Run was cancelled: part of the route is now lake (pic 3). Have spent most of today outside. No regrets.

For a week every year, this scruffy bit of grass in Bridgford Park is transformed into a Persian carpet of crocuses. One of my favourite things about living here.

Well, running in this weather is very nice. No complaints. You even get a crooked smile selfie. Song of the run, Kiesza: Dancing and Crying. Thanks to @andyukb.bsky.social for the tip off.

A very, very welcome sight today. Actual sun. Plus bit more flooding on the fields.

Morning. 'I've done a lady wearing a poncho in the rain'. Nice red mug for Valentine's Day to match the card. This is the beginning and end of our Valentine's Day fuss.

Rewatching Arrested Development and at the end of season 1. I know I post a lot of Lucille Bluth GIFs, but god it really is the funniest programme. So smart. So many jokes. But it's TV to concentrate on: blink and you miss a bit of light treason.

Went outside. It's awful. Won't be going out again.

Ok. Done. It has been pointed out that Friday 13th was not the best day to dust a fragile glass collection housed on shelves over a staircase, using a ladder. But I survived. Found the first Whitefriars vase I bought in 1998, pic 2. £16 in Hitchin: that started the whole collection.

Today's 'bad life choices' job is dusting this lot. Been putting it off for weeks. Involves ladders. Pray for me

Morning. Valet had early work start, so Chazzer choice today. Moomins mug for a change. No froth pattern, but the dots are pretty.

Not in the mood for that run, but done and dusted. Also chance to see the massive tree wedged under the suspension bridge. Song of the run: Midnight Sun: Zara Larsson.

Morning. 'I've done a lion stalking its prey'. Prey not pictured apparently. Anyway, it's Thursday, I went to the pub last night with friends to talk funerals and three months long walks. Pub is different in your 50s.

You know that post prompt about men in glasses being hot? Well...

Morning. Given the valet a day off so it's Chazzer Choice. Inadvertently done a coffee froth shape: any idea? Pizza maybe?

The bloody protein influencers have got my cottage cheese. Been having this for lunch for decades and suddenly it's really hard to find. And I'm not stopping to the pineapple version, it's not 1992.

Morning. 'I've done an airplane coming into land. ' Ok, I can see that. Yellow mug for another grey day. Also tried the new draft thing writing this: quite handy.

My Ann Patchett reading spree continues. This was fantastic. It was recommended by a couple of people here and they were absolutely right. The blurbs of the plot always sound terrible: dead magician's wife goes to stay with his family. But the stories just sing. Proper magic.
