Quietly excited that I finally - after more than 4 years - seem to have recovered from my long covid enough that I can tolerate gentle exercise. That, together with a diet means I've lost almost a stone already. Please let it continue 🙏

I've had a lovely weekend. Saturday morning was a visit to parkrun I've never done before with a friend followed by watching her swim and then grabbing breakfast. Today I've pottered and tidied and put my world to rights. Now it's time for the Great Pottery Throwdown #happysigh

Enjoying the Meghan thing. Yeah it is occasionally cringey but otherwise it's my idea of heaven - huge, gorgeous house and garden, tonnes of money, looking beautiful and swanning around gardening, crafting, making amazing food and drinking champagne. What's not to love?

Whilst it may not solve all of the world’s problems, I think we can all agree that having more bakeries, libraries, structures with gargoyles, quaint cafés, museums, Ukraine flags, independent bookstores, and Oxford commas would be an important first step.

OK, the time has come to get a new vacuum cleaner.
I am NOT having another Dyson.
The last 3 have all been Dysons and, while they were a decent machine 20 years ago, these days they're cheap and unreliable - much like the company's awful owner.
What do you have that you rate?
NO DYSONS!

Really enjoying #Virdee on iPlayer. So tempted to stay up and watch the last episode but I'm already feeling rough and dragging myself through the last week to half term so sleep would be a better option I think.

Fairly sure that if I didn't turn up at work tomorrow, the only people who would miss me would be the people who had to cover for me.

Hey birdy people - maybe @persiflage.bsky.social - any ideas why this crow/jackdaw might be trying to break into my spare room? It's been doing this for days now. Nothing in the room but some beds and my yet to go back to the loft Xmas decorations. #birds

Ok, before I seal this up, what else does it need to be a proper Unseen University common room? @chronicleflask.katday.com ? Ridcully's pipe is drying ready to go on the cabinet near the door.

Just a reminder- let people post their joy and things that are bringing them happiness.
Don’t shit on them with stuff like “how can you care about that when the country is on fire”
We need to find light where we can.

Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity.
A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.

Tail walked at Bury Field parkrun today clocking up both my 40th run there and my 28th time volunteering. Followed it up with cake in the local cafe. That's how to do Saturdays ☺️
