#GoodEvening! Sunset & supper (plus alcoholic lubrication) mean it feels far later than clock time. Most of day spent cooking: large vegetable currification & large house special chilli, for church quiz night, & peppery curried lamb, potato & veg currification for me tonight. It's been a long week.

Fulll day: including blessing a memorial tree) & a contractor death on site (ill-health) & support thereafter. Supper streaming trumped by podcast watching. Adapted leftover chicken & stuffing with balti sauce, extra spices, veg & rice. I was too focussed on eating to photograph it... here's after!

#GoodAfternoon: a slightly different Sunday lunch; a large, griddle-cooked sirloin steak served on a bed of couscous & cashew nuts, accompanied by rocket and spicy, fried leeks & mushrooms Still not quite mastered using the griddle, but getting there. Quite good at drinking the red wine though!

Personally, I prefer 'Christotokos', Christ-bearer, but that makes me a (sartorially elegant) heretic. Allegedly (on both counts)

(1/2)#GoodAfternoon! So far today's seen planned purchase of cheap trousers (practical & unexciting), two cheap shirts (unplanned), a new hat (considered, but not planned) & a new waistcoat (unplanned but necessary given unexpected temperatures in Market Harborough, where we went for #coffee).

#GoodEvening! Duo now seems to be mining pop songs of a certain era... which is fine by me! All together now...

#GoodMorning folks. Unexpectedly alone today, which opens up opportunities (for both things wanted & needed), including solo breakfast out (with #coffee, of course), now complete. Weather stays mild, leaves continue to fall; irregular brown hued patterns on asphalt and paving offset by bonus magpie.

#GoodEvening from The Royal&Derngate in #Isengard, for the mighty Francis Rossi! We grow old, but keep on rocking!

#GoodMorning once again from uni! The first #coffee's been had, the waistcoat fits (for the first time in many years) and the world's good. Now, where are those students?

#GoodMorning from Leamington Spa and the OwlBear & Wizard's Staff. #TravelBuddy #Squidge is here, overseeing the latest #WallOfHeroes outing. A good day of games ahead, & thanks to @chaosium.bsky.social for the Con goodies!

#GoodMorning- while it still is. All packed & ready to depart for a few days of #RPG goodness in Leamington (#OBaWS). Ironically, the forecast seems to be for rain, but spirit remains undampened! I've had #coffee, the Wall of Heroes is ready, & so us #TravelBuddy #Squidge! Onwards!

#GoodMorning, from the iron way station of Isengard, from whence Dr Moose will shortly depart to the Midlands beating heart of Brum, bearing the Wall of Heroes for it's first day trip, in this case to Glorantha Games for #RPG #TTRPG goodness.. Tribal Chaplain incoming! Get the #coffee on!

#GoodMorning all, and it genuinely seems to be one, free of cloud & rain, filled instead with light (though temperature hints at Summer's ending). I have the second #coffee, and plenty to do today for both work (uni) & leisure (Glorantha Games #TTRPG #RPG prep). First, Morning Prayer, shortly.

#GoodAfternoon, as Sun's still up as I cook supper, drink G&T (Plymouth & Fever Tree Aromatic, thanks for asking), & listen to podcasts from Mark Galeotti on Russia. All pleasant as Sunday fades, August ebbs. Tomorrow, old year really ends as school year changes. Does that make it New Year's Eve?

#GoodMorning friends! It's been a long time since I've been able to sit in The Yard with #coffee & journal. Tis messy, but accessible, relatively quiet (traffic noise notwithstanding), & warm enough. In addition, lost weight despite (or because of?) @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social. I'll take that.

#GoodMorning! In normal post @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social mood & manner I've written, & enjoyed a mug of #coffee outside too. The road is noisy but the air moves... unlike the stuffily humid house. It's not just me, surely? I may need to do another trip to the tip, to make up for lost exercise!

#GoodEvening! We are come to the setting of the Sun. Dr Moose & #TravelBuddy #Squidge returned from #GreenbeltFestival to humid brick-tent home, from other home/family's annual manifestation in the Field of Dreams. Good time, but not personal classic (speaking with 35 yrs of it). Until next year!

#GoodMorning all! It s just before the Bank Holiday, so we're about to depart for #Greenbelt, more overloaded than ever as years pass. #TravelBuddy #Squidge has decided to guard the important things!
