Today's golden walk on the moors with my sister, Siri and Ash, absolutely glorious.

Finally got the guttering up and connected on my new shed 🙌 It's only taken ages cos the old shed was 7x7ft and the new one is 8x6, so had to saw pieces off some bits and stick the pieces to other bits. Then the IBC tank was too far away, so I used some flexible pond pipe 👌 #allotment #shed

FAO Publishers:
If this is what a book 'title' looks like, I will not buy the book. This is not a title. I don't care if it's 'the tiktok viral sensation' or whatever shit you want to add. This just tells me you added £s to the price.
And if a blurb looks like this, I'm definitely not reading it.

Couple of late entries for this week's #BlueSkyArtShow after I spent far too long reviewing all of my pics with #Reflections in them last night 🤦🏼‍♀️😅 Both on the #LeedsAndLiverpoolCanal in #Yorkshire. One is my nephew, the other is a tree +reflection in the shape of lungs 💚

Apparently there's a thing called #BlueSkyArtShow? And the current theme is #Reflections? Which tbh, is right up my street because I freakin love reflections! I think I missed some days, so here's 2 of my favourite dog-related reflections.

Herbie is staying with us for a few days while his mum has a much needed holiday. He is 0.75 standard #poodle, 0.25 #lab, and 💯 loon!

OMG. I'm inordinately happy to discover today, that I am less than 50% English 🙌🚫🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 And the English I am is nearly all from Sun'lun/Durham with a hint of Yorkshire. Even better, confirmation that my Meldrums, Kinmonds and Berwicks were indeed Scots 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙 @glasgalf.bsky.social - 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿passport for me please?

Clump sown & grown onions in previous years. Last year wasn't great, but that was mostly down to the weather. The variety in the pics is Sturon, but it works with others. My clump-sown Ailsa Craig and Beds Champion won't get to exhibition size, obvs, but I don't need them to. #GrowVeg #allotment

The world is all too 🤯 right now and I'm so overwhelmed because I can't do anything. So I spent a bit of time doing something that I do have a tiny bit of control over! I've sown chilli and pepper seeds in a half tray & clump-sown 6 varieties of onion in cell trays.

Got my porch/potting station organised and ready to start sowing seeds! 🌱💚🌱💚🌱 Also put an electric heater with a frost-free thermostat in there, so things can grow unchecked once I start. Onions 1st, which I'll be clump sowing in cell trays 🧅🤎

Today's walk wasn't fun... We got to the furthest point from the car & then the spotty rain turned to sideways hailstones with a strong headwind 🥶🥶🥶 My face was numb by the time we got back, and the dogs were freezing 🥶

This came up on FB Memories today, from 2019. I'd been writing about performativity in #HowlsMovingCastle for about 20 hours at that point. I miss academia, & I regret not being able to complete my MA, but I do not miss this - being an undiagnosed #neurodivergent student with no support whatsoever.

Finally remembered to submit my annual seed request list to the #HeritageSeedLibrary Yay me!
Really hoping for a better season this year🤞 Last year, all the heritage pea seeds I got failed miserably when I planted the seedlings and then it went cold & wet 😕

I made sure to knock and sweep all the snow off the polytunnel when it first came down. I didn't tho, remember to do the chicken run, with the girls in the p/t for winter. Just looked at it this afternoon, and the whole thing about buckling under the weight 😬 Lucky save 🫣

2024 Reading Roundup, via Goodreads
Can tell it's been a busy year, this is the lowest number of books read since 2019 when I was doing my MA.

Trying hard savour this, rather than race through it like a glutton for words! It's so beautifully written! Great series all round - the character development, the world building, the slow burn relationship building, the neuro- and gender-diversity rep are excellent.

Chapter One, page one, second paragraph. How can a certainty also only be probable? It's either certain, or, it isn't 🤔 Already thinking about DNF 😬

I started drawing this chopping board at about 4.00pm. Got interrupted a ridiculous number of times, and finally finished it at midnight! Probably would've taken a couple of hours otherwise 🙄
