Like an entirely normal person, I just put out my 1980s Swedish Santa Lucia figures. Sindy's boyfriend Paul looks away in disgust.
Found these on Vinted about March and stashed them in my bedside cabinet, so good job I remembered them, eh?

Morning. Today's black mug came with every 1970s' child favourite... the theme tune to Black Beauty. Apparently I ruined his fun by suggesting it a few weeks ago. Trying to work out whether to run or rest my slightly dodgy feeling knee. Think rest will win.

Morning. Another work week, eh? Think the valet may be low on inspiration. Today's orange mug came with Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks because sunsets are orange? Are we accepting this?

Finally bought the new Taylor Swift album after all the froth died down. Actually like it a lot. Not her best, but I'm playing it over and over.

Tired running face. Another check on the new bridge, still there and still pleasing. Song of the run: 2000s banger Some kinda rush by Booty Luv (god what a name.)

Morning. Valet was quite excited by the new mug, which he's decided is mint green. Which justified today's song choice of Mint Car by The Cure.

Fingers crossed. Ignore the posing, this is my wood version which has been great.

Oh I love a bit of Scandinavian design. Got lots of Swedish vintage crockery, eg this.

Right. I don't need any more mugs clearly but this is an actual new Cornishware colour which I spotted on Vinted. And yes it's a Boden (purveyor of chinos to Tories) collab, but I didn't give them any money.
Boden green? Not to be confused with Willow or Adder Green.

Managed 9 miles today, longest run in over a year? And stayed fairly dry. And bonus stop for pastries at the Good Weigh on the way home: bagged the last Copenhagen. Win win win.

Morning. Same willow green mug as yesterday, but came today with 'Its not easy being green' by Kermit the Frog. Rain seems to have stopped finally.

Jilly Cooper's list of celebs at a 1993 record launch is a time capsule. Simon le Bon! Cilla! Simon Bates!

I have an irrational hatred of tinsel. It's like a string of glittery turds on a tree. I loathe it.

I'm going out now. I may be some time.

Looks like I'll be spending the day with Jilly Cooper. It's excellent: when the hero isn't having unlikely sex with Billionaires' wives, he's moodily checking Ceefax for racing news.

Morning. Today's willow green came with Petula Clark singing , 'The other man's grass is always greener.' Listening to the rain hammering down and you know what, I don't think I will run today.
