Storm Claudia pretty much writes off today, but yesterday I embarked on a voyage into the village.
Ollie didn’t get me up until 8 today. I think he left it as late as possible because it’s chucking down outside. We went out and got soaked, now I’m back in bed with the fire on. ☕️🔥👍🏻

This is the first photo taken with my new laptop and also its first BlueSky post.
I was going to move the boat this morning, but the weather forecast has changed overnight. Looks like a long rainy spell is here, so I'll be staying put for the foreseeable.

Ollie and I have leftover Sunday dinner for our breakfast. 😋 I cooked far too much yesterday. 😅
Today my new laptop arrives. 🤓💪🏻 I’m very good at killing laptops. Hopefully this one will live long enough for me to finish The Great Transgender Werewolf Massacre.

It’s a misty morning here. Ollie had me up and out at 4:50. His body clock is gradually moving towards GMT.
Today is all about Sunday roast and resting. I might get a bottle of wine. 💃🏻🍷

Today is rather huge. I might hear something I’ve wished for all my life.
By lunchtime I will either be elated like never before or utterly devastated.
No going back now. This fateful day has started. I am about to find out which one of two ways the gods have decided to send me.

Today I will mostly be mentally preparing 🧠 for my very important appointment tomorrow morning. 🤞🏻
I may order a curry later. 😛🌶️

Today I have one boat job (fetching water) and one minute’s worth of adulting, which should end a very stressful episode. 🤞🏻
I’m messing about with where to put my camera for my online consultation. Possibly regretting painting that window red, but I do like the infernal demon look. 👹👍🏻

Absolutely no adulting for me today. 💃🏻 I have won a major existential battle and deserve a peaceful time. 🍷
I'm really loving watching this place change through autumn 🌞🍂 and am quite looking forward to the winter now. ☃️

It’s very much a ‘calm before the storm’ Monday morning for me. I have serious and terrifying stuff to do this pivotal week. 😬🤞🏻
Ollie got me up at 6. It was pissing down, but he needed to go out, so I had to too. 😫🌧️
Anyway. One more coffee ☕️ then it’s time to spring into action! 💥🥊🦸🏻♀️💪🏻

It’s getting dark really early now, but the Swan Family are still making it round for their tea while there’s still a bit of light.

Yesterday morning I was struck down with food poisoning whilst eating insufficiently reheated takeaway.
I'm still very unwell 🤒 but I think I might survive now. The vomiting appears to be over. I just have no strength after a day of no food.
Let this be a lesson. 🧐 Don't ever be as stupid as me. 😭

Happy Halloween! 👻🎃🦇
It's a dark, sinister day here. My pet monster and I were out at 3:30 stalking the towpath.
Soon we shall emerge once more and makeour way through the village, amongst the living, to the post office. This time though, I will look less horrifying, as I'll have put my face on. 🧛🏻♀️

Morning. ☕
It's very cold out there. 🥶 I woke up warm though. The smokeless 'coal' I got from the local shop is excellent. It stays alight forever. 🔥
Not having to collect loads of wood is freeing up a lot of time, which is handy because I've got lots of important jobs to do. 🥱

It’s a dark, rainy day here. I’m still not feeling well 🤒 and have extreme horrific adulting to do. 😰
But I don’t need to go out for wood because I have a bag of coal. 🔥🥳👍🏻
Tonight will be cold. 🥶 Outside anyway. Ollie and I will be cosy and warm in the boat. 🔥

First bag of coal of the year. 🔥
Or whatever it is. Apparently it’s not actually coal, even though it calls itself smokeless coal. 🤷🏻♀️

Ollie got me up at 3. His body clock hasn’t changed to GMT yet.
I don’t mind. I’ve got lots to do again today, and the earlier I’m up the better. By 5 it’s already getting dark, so I’m hoping to get my jobs done by 2 or 3 and enjoy a little daylight before cosying down with the fire on.

I've had 12 hours' sleep and don't feel very well. I wish I could go back to sleep but I'm too busy.
Today, on top of my boat jobs, I have to do some rather existentially threatening adulting. ✍🏻😢📃 I mean genuinely terrifying stuff just in time for Halloween. 👹
