Same as I ever was.
Tea, talking. You know. Now even more easily distracted.
I’ve got half-grown kids, cats and a garden I pretend is ‘wild’. Doing a bit of headteaching now.

I knew you’d like it!! It was my Bucharest ‘must see’. It’s small but excellent. Especially the communist kitsch.
This mural was outside
A painting of 2 women in 1930s ish dress. Muted tones, peeling edges. Someone has graffitied a speech bubble saying Fuck the sexism.

And here it is in all its garlicky boozy glory
A small stripey pumpkin filled with cheese fondue. Its top is sitting on it like a lid.

Me pretending I’m goth enough to read this today in a windswept cottage in Dracula country.
Happy Halloween! 🧛🏻‍♀️
The book The Haunting Season held by a pale hand with black fingernails. The paleness is just my natural skin colour.

Anyway. I went upstairs to get changed, had a Moment, came downstairs and found the Boychild had made me this 🥰🥰🥰

#SundayPixNight is it still night when there’s daylight?
Svalbard in May in beautiful sunny winter.
Swatch shows the time 00:54. The wearer’s hand is held up against a glowing golden blue sky where the sun hovers above the horizon. There’s a flag pole behind it lit up in warm afternoon colours and you can just make out snow on the ground.

#SundayPixNight the shortest night of the year, where else?
A giant trilathon at Stonehenge. It’s lit up blue against black sky.

That’s lovely! I finally got a flower out of mine. I don’t remember them being yellow though 😂

Regard this reasonably massive banana plant. There was nothing above ground level this spring and now it’s over a metre!
It’s a happy banana 😊
A tall banana plant in a repurposed fire pit. It’s big. There is some mulch visible which may or may not be cat litter. Shhh.

Nothing says I mean it like carving your message into the living rock.

The temptation was strong. Which of us can say we have not pretended to be the Bishop of Gozo when needs must?

Encountered this little dude today.
I know that angels pointing in paintings is a symbol of the pointee’s holiness, but this one is clearly saying “Get a load of this guy!” at some biblical ninnie.
A chubby cherub sits on a step, casually leaning on one hand. The other hand points up and left to a cropped out figure. He has an expression that looks like it could become a cheeky wink at any moment.

Here is a lovely tree at sunset.
Trees at sunset are one of my favourites.
A gnarly Mediterranean tree with a generous canopy silhouetted against a golden sky and casting a long warm shadow.

I am on an island where that rogue Calypso imprisoned Odysseus.
I am honouring this in the best way I know how

Anyway. Here is a lovely beach where you can jump off the cliffs into the sea or just sit quietly in your rash vest and enjoy it.
A horseshoe shaped sandy plateau. Young daredevils are standing round waiting to jump into the very blue water.

I am in a place where the road signs have little trilathons on them.
It’s a good place.

#SundayPixFountsin Also a big fan of any fountain where it looks like animals are sicking up. Like this crocodile.
Think this is the base of a statue of Empress Marie Therese. But croc.
White stone croc has water pouring out of its mouth.
