I just can't help thinking that this Lego model of the Acropolis at the Acropolis Museum might not be fully historically accurate 🤔

Slightly too late to scare off the ghouls, but here are our pumpkins 🎃

Mine was #KeithHaring inspired, @jackshoulder.bsky.social went for classic Jack'o'lantern 😁

It's not #Bristol's first sober bar! There have been temperance bars in Bristol for decades and centuries

Today involved getting my siblings, their spouses and kids all into one photo at the same time (and sharing a breakfast); an emotional funeral of an old friend; and then a 20 mile run.

I couldn't have done any of it without @jackshoulder.bsky.social ❤️

To say I'm exhausted is understatement

Ok, gang, there's less than £20 to go for me to hit my £1000 fundraising target, and there's just over a month to go until me and @jackshoulder.bsky.social run the Athens Marathon 😁

Does anyone want to finish me off? 😁 www.justgiving.com/page/keep-ru... 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🇬🇷

I'm so pleased that our @sallyhastingsart.bsky.social print has arrived all the way from Australia 😁🤩. @jackshoulder.bsky.social and I already know exactly where we're going to hang it 💚

Having seen the original Medusa painting in Florence, I definitely think this one's more delicious 😋🐍

What flavour is this yellow yoghurt?

It's lemon, fool.

With our green opposite wall, we're giving a bit "there's been some confusion over rooming here at Shiz..." 🤣💚🩷

That's the second coat on the new living room door done. I think my knee needs a bit of touching up though 🤣

I'm so excited to start reading @deathbybadger.bsky.social 's "Isabella Nagg and the Pot of Basil"

It's got footnotes a la Pratchett, and the second one in had me chuckling out loud 😁
