Yeah, kinda!

Today I met the world's most spherical robin. #birds #nature #RoundRobin 😂

The starlings don't seem to be very interested in the back garden's bird feeders atm, so the smaller birds are making the most of their absence!

We made it into London and are at the theatre. I've seen #MyNeighbourTotoro before, but L & the kids haven't. I'm so excited for them! It's an amazing show - so beautifully done.

My little patch of front garden seems to think it's spring, and has also sprouted a random dahlia that I definitely didn't plant. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not my home, but I know my way around.

Why thank you, random toilet roll. 😂

This is what happens when your office is in a church! 😄 #charity #GiftFromGod #MotivationalToiletRoll

I bought this cute little fellow at the steampunk thing yesterday. I feel he needs a dignified yet faintly ridiculous Victorian or Edwardian gentleman's name. Any suggestions?

I also spotted the Death of Rats pretending to be a hat decoration. 🤔 #GNUTerryPratchett #steampunk

I found this beautiful Jersey Tiger Moth in my garden today. It's the first time I've ever seen one!

While watering the garden I discovered a brood of large white caterpillars* eating stock plants. I'm sad for the plants but happy to be helping butterflies!

*as in, caterpillars of the large white butterfly. The caterpillars are actually green. 😄

I met this hairy little chap while out and about earlier (and no, I wasn't daft enough to touch it 😆). He's a pale tussock moth caterpillar. Looking funky!

After a stressful morning at work (involving a 3 hour trustee meeting! 🫠) I'm decompressing a bit on the beach before heading home to L and the kids.

Timeline cleanse! A pair of baby hedgehogs visiting my garden a few years ago.

A gorgeous little bee guy on one of the buddleias in my garden. 😍 #bees #gardening #Sussex #nature #wildlife #Springwatch

This small flock of #swifts spends its evenings flying over my garden, screaming and catching insects. I love watching them - they're like a little feathery version of the Red Arrows!

I went to chuck some weeds on the nature heap, & found a pair of snails mating! It's not something I've ever witnessed before but it's a fascinating process - snails are hermaphroditic, so perhaps both will lay eggs after this encounter. #snails #wildlife #Springwatch or is it #Summerwatch?

T'eldest turns 16 tomorrow. This means that, as is tradition, I'll spend tonight decorating his birthday cake.

Previous cakes were a cassette from #TheMagnusArchives, an #MHA character, various superheroes, animals, & My Little Ponies.

This year it's a Crabominable from #Pokemon. 😱 😭

Ugh. Come down to the seaside! It's a bit cooler here.

In case you need something to make you smile today, I saw this while out meandering with the 15yo earlier. #Sussex #cat #CatsOfBluesky #SomethingToMakeYouSmile

The 13yo and I have been to the #WealdAndDownland museum for a wander this afternoon. We had a lovely time, and came home with some fabulous fresh-baked bread made with flour from the watermill there. 😍 #Sussex #history #LocalHistory #buildings
