Sometimes, the good guys just want to feel glamorous. For today’s #VintageToyTuesday I give you the Spider-Woman jewelry set. Up-do? Check. Matching earring and necklace? Yup. Stylish eye protection? Of course. Massive uppercut loaded for the baddies? Always. Made by Imperial Toy Company (1979)

My favorite way to start the day. Watching the hummingbirds argue over the food. I have three hummingbird feeders and yet they all still fight over them. Turn on your phone volume and you will hear them arguing

This little guy visits us several times a day. It’s hard to get food when the flowers aren’t around.

Happy holidays. My favorite way to start the day is with a visit from the hummingbirds in my backyard. We have a great smart feeder to capture pictures and video.

I was stressed (re: the pressure of making Christmas magic). A friend reminded me that my FAVOURITE tradition as a kid was the simplest. Now I see others out there who need her reminder. Let go as much as you can. Read this cozy picture book with hygge vibes. #kidlit #acozywinterday #lessismore

There appear to be two male kingfishers on Coppermill Stream at the moment at Walthamstow Wetlands, the ringed male who is found down towards the tower, and another further up towards the Engine House.
Lots of sightings of the ringed male today.
