August 11 is always a tough one to get through. Ten years ago today, I lost my dad, after a long illness.
My husband died two years later on the same date. Completely out of the blue.
So yeah, tough day for bad memories. And it's a Monday this year.

Today's castle: Orford.
Followed by a trip to the Pump Street Bakery which is amazing, and then a stroll around Woodbridge.

Why do vets suggest euthanising chickens as a first resort? This girl is under the weather, she has a cough that's not clearing up so we took her to the vet. She's eating and drinking but not as much as usual and she's alert and nosy. We got antibiotics but that wasn't their first suggestion.

One day closer to Cornwall... Some days working in Cambridge just looks prettier than others...
Feeling the 4.55am start a bit though. 😴

One for #totp - I finally got around to reviewing 14th April 1988! What happened to Adele Bertei? Who was Simon Climie, why did I have Bridge of Spies on repeat? What was the significance of Britannia Music Club? Which one of Bros did I fancy? All this and more...

I started a #totp Substack! What was Louise wearing, what was Gwen Stefani thinking, and what was going on, on October 3 1997?

Aw bless you. We have lots of scruffy rescues who we love to bits too. We got Wyandottes and Silkies, plus an Orpington, from farms, and we hatched a gorgeous cream legbar. Mostly they get along but there's often squabbling over nest boxes 😂😂

I love it when I come across old photos and remember that I haven't always been middle aged and chubby...
Once upon a time I was young, and full of hope 😀
1988 (left) and 1988 (right). When I was working as an insurance clerk and still REALLY wanted to be a fashion designer.
