I discovered this morning when I couldn’t find it in my tiny car, that I have a favourite ice scraper. And the other one that I had to use because it was the only one left isn’t even my second or third favourite because it was so rubbish, it’s about tenth.

One of my most favourite places (Debden Barns near Saffron Walden) is closing so I need new suggestions for places to find quirky things and grotesques while I sit here and mourn please.

I have ready to sell, lemon curd, strawberry & raspberry jam, picalilli, mango chutney, sweet chilli jam, cranberry preserve, green tomato chutney, blackberry jelly, crabapple & rosehip jelly.
They’re all home made & mostly hand picked fruit & veg. Sugar & salt & vinegar the only preservatives.

Went to Stafford for the weekend, saw lots of lovely things, didn’t take many pictures and bought myself a moon.

I got on a train from Euston to Stafford this morning. There were a few issues with cancellations, delays and people in seats they shouldn’t be in but we were only around 20 minutes late arriving so if there were any issues afterwards, it had nothing to do with me, m’kay?

It’s been a messy weekend; yesterday I played with air drying clay and today I’ve commando-crawled under my bed and pulled everything out to sort it out *sneezes dust elephants*

Went to a local theatre to see a version of Little Women last night which was lovely but jeez I have trouble staying awake past ten and I definitely need to be in bed at least an hour earlier at the mo. I have no idea how I had the energy to do (sometimes multiple) mid-week gigs a few years ago.

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.

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Walking up the stairs in Home Sense yesterday and I winced as I stepped, saying “ohh, left hip, right knee” as they were both playing up and my daughter piped up from behind me “You’ve just sunk my battleship” because clearly she thinks she’s hilarious and now she’s living in the shed.

Morning. Hope everyone’s not up to too much mischief. These last few weeks have been spent doing horribly long working hours and my boiler went pop on Tuesday. It’s all covered under warranty but the parts won’t be here until Monday. Thank fuck it’s not freezing and the work situation ends today.

I’ll tell it now quickly. It paints me in a very good light, I’m sorry to say, but I just sent a text. So when the Caron Keating #TOTP was shown on BBC Four, I texted Gloria and said that they’d shown it and sent her the link. Gloria rings and says “can you get it on a DVD for me?”. “I’ll try”.

FFS, I’m not ignoring anyone, I’m just plucking up the courage to do a selfie and frighten the bejesus out of it with my best Patrick Moore expression. If this place goes down, it was probably me.

So today on my day off I intended to catch up with all the washing, complete my appraisal forms, change my bedding and mow the lawn. Instead I’ve done two loads of washing, slept for three hours and watched loads of Dexter.

Day off but I popped into work this morning to pick up my laptop and SOMEONE HAS USED MY CHAIR. Then left it wedged against a box so I had to do parkour to get to my desk. No jury and all that, yes?
