Made some flapjacks, they fell apart a lil tiny bit but quite pleased with them all the same

Had a class time. This community is so lovely

Back to London we go

Forgiven

Left her with her grandparents for two weeks and now she won’t speak to me

Last day of honeymoon today! I suspect going back from this to London winter is going to be a bit jarring

I had a lovely weekend, thanks

Just did my first 10K in over a decade (a few months after doing my first 5K in about the same time). Wasn’t fast but I didn’t stop! Feeling very proud of myself

Gorgeous day walking on the High Weald and around the (Five) Hundred Acre Wood

Went to see me old mate Gecko play with Chris Read and a full band at Folklore in Hackney last night and it was lovely

Me in the back of the car: “Silk-song! Silk-song!”

@okw.bsky.social: “We have bugs at home”

I still believe

How is she so perfect

Oh go on here’s some more

I love the Peak District

Two years on. Still decent. Miss you Gbo

Actually, while I'm here - wouldn't have gone to see them twice in one year if not for A Highland Song, thanks for that

Finally got around to mounting (by which I mean Lucy did it for me, I made a bollocks of it last time) the magazine covers for the games I worked on that got far enough to get magazine covers. The frames came in a pack of four so here’s hoping.

Definitely a birthday theme

My granda (on the right) with his siblings and his father. Year: who knows, but the boy in the front celebrated his 90th birthday the other day.
