Stick szn.

From an ad for a water flosser on a week-known online marketplace. I clicked on the product because the images were full of spelling errors and I was rewarded with this. Dental plaque in the shape of the Republic of Ireland.

The internet is broken and it's time to turn it off and on again.

I read this thread on my way to a hospital appointment and then saw this in the toilet. These toilet paper holders are terrible. As someone else has demonstrated by unlocking one for access.

A tasty lunch ahead with all this from the garden. Such a different growing year from last year – only one bean plant survived the slug onslaught last year whereas this year we will have a glut!

Not from today but might as well be. Cecil doesn't relinquish the blanket until it's almost 30° inside.

Every Monday should be a bank holiday.

Good luck, hope you recover asap. The device we have for testing lung function at home is one of my fave bits of tech. Until a few years ago getting it tested was only possible at hospital. But now we can do it at home whenever so can get earlier advice and without going to hospital.

Me, mentally.

Games night. Terra Mystica. I haven't played this one in years!

Have you even been to Paris if you don't have a paper bag full of pastries for the train ride back to London?

I shall fulfil my duty and wave at the Marsden when I pop out for a coffee in a bit. I have seen many good dogs on my little walks here but this afternoon I will see the best boy of all, my own!

Autumn in full swing. Taking some photos of my August garden for use in the dark months for lino cutting inspiration. Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty'. Time to start thinking about ordering spring bulbs...

Cecil says thank you 🥰
