Blue sky with clouds doing an impression of smoke, bare trees, the stable roof with vents (that might be smoking)

Canada’s weirdest fucking TV shows are The Best and I support this proposal.

Fox, deer (muntjac), red kites, skylarks, clouds of fieldfares & redwings
Looking out from The Top, over fields, hedges, copses and (v barely visible) a recently dug pond

I have spent 22 months complaining that my walking trousers - the ones I wear every day - are too loose round the waist. It took me less than 5 minutes to fix them this afternoon. (The fix is not elegant but good enough and fully reversible.)
Why am I like this? Why?

Large, frosted leaf on a road that is almost the same colour.

Layers of wood bearing layers of lichen, pale grey and intense yellow in the foreground, blue-green and moss-green in the background.

This is not the photo you are looking for
Bluest sky. Barest trees. A passing crow.

I don’t want this rubbish
Bench with a view, looking out across a valley that is all farmland & trees Same view but looking in a different direction, where the foreground is dominated by a splendidly twisty dead tree. Sun shining on a church tower and the main entrance to the church, which the warm orange-yellow colour typical of old Northamptonshire buildings

Not Pilates
Small country road, a mess of holes and tarmac patchwork; steep verges, hedges, and bare trees; a soft, grey mass of clouds filtering the sun.

We did not go out in the snow. But it is still very cold.
Gorgeous, frilly, green lichen on a log.

This is what I want from November
Bare trees, green grass, long shadows, golden light, cloudless blue sky Bare trees, green grass, long shadows, golden light, cloudless blue sky, but slightly different ones from the other picture

The stream has returned
Yellow wellies on a tiny bridge over a very tiny stream that has been absent for many months.

When your yarn is judging you as you knit.

(Charity shop wool for £1. Wrong weight for the pattern, but I’m gonna make it work, oh yes, yes I am.)
Giant ball of wool the size of a head, with googly eyes and crinkly yarn-hair. Surrounded by just-started knitting, printed pattern, and needle case.

At last!
Seven days without a walk is at least fourteen too many 😷🤒🤧
Footpath round the edge of a field. There’s a green manure crop in flower - mostly yellow - the tree arching over the path is bare, but there’s a puddle of bronze leaves beneath it.

“Oooh, bus shelter!”
“Yes, but have you see the Lucite Egg Chair?”
Totally normal Sunday morning conversation at this house.

New supervisor is much more trouble than the old one.
Orwell just wanted to express her expert opinion, but this little dude wants to partipate.
Ironing board covered in fabric scraps which are in the process of being organised by me. Fabric scraps are covered in naughty tuxedo cat who has his own organising principles.

I have a cold and it’s brutal. So far this week I have managed just half a day of technically-not-in-bed.
I’m bored and I hate everything.
Cute tuxedo cat lying on his back yawning at the camera. Or possibly threatening to eat the photographer. One of those things.

Apparently ’post the oldest selfie on your phone’ is a thing.
Awesome, buxom, weirdo in a hat, holding a lorgnette and looking quizzical. Is it Margaret Rutherford, or is it me? Probably.

Back-to-back
Tree-lined path through a field. The trees are getting naked and the ground is scattered with gold.

That’s weird, my phone refuses to accept that ‘guillotine’ is a word. I only wanted to talk about cutting up paper 🤷🏼
