Spent the afternoon at the London Natural History Museum yesterday. It's such a beautiful building and always nice going back.

Of course I had to pay homage to my faves, the archaeopteryx fossil and the stuffed dodos.

Don't know about you, but sometimes all I need to have a good day is some loud pink docs.

Merry Teefmas from me and the dog!

Btw, this photo was not from today. The dog has spent today how she spends every Christmas. Stealing wrapping paper and taking it away to shred under the kitchen table. 🎁

Found ET serving looks today in a vintage/antique store. I can see now why he was so keen to get home. 😬

Spent the day walking children in nature, airing out the brain cells on Mam Tor.

It was WINDY.

Spotted at an event happening in my building at work today. Can't stop thinking about the fact that there's such a thing as the Annual Traffic Signals Symposium.

Blessed be the focaccia, for its crust cures all ails and its moist chewy middle nurses the spirit back to life. 🙏🏻

Root is probably the cutest board game I've played which still involves fictional killing and fighting. Definitely in my top 5!

It's been a lovely day for Nottingham Pride. It's been so nice to see trans visibility and trans allyship bloom exponentially year on year with every Pride event in the city 🏳️‍⚧️🩷🏳️‍🌈
