A rather different Morning commute today:

Photograph of a canal tow path with an abundance of green foliage on the left-hand side ordering the canal. The distance, if you can can be seen.
The light in the photograph is rather dappled owing two overhead canopy provided by trees.

Going to start using “bobble off”as a insult in meetings “respectfully, you can bobble off and reconsider that action” Sounds suitably northern, but also not actually offensive.

Photograph of a boxed product called “bobble off” there is an illustration on the front of the box showing a handheld device next to a blue woollen jumper.

The intended use is to remove fabric pills aka bobbles from garments

I present an early and somewhat crafted #poppywatch Serious #DrWho vibes from this knitted fella (What on earth was the commission for this?!) #knitting

Photograph of a life size model of a uniformed WW2 Soldier. The model is completely in khaki green. Apart a red knitted poppy. At the feet of the soldier a wreath of red poppies can be seen.

Close up of the soldier model revealing it is in fact knotted. The entire thing.

Excellent prop at the 40s event:

A photograph of a small wooden fence flanked by sandbags surrounding a replica World War II bomb, along with three pieces of wood to create a scaffolding. From which the bomb is suspended, the large red sign in front of the bomb reads “keep clear unexploded bomb”

Pleased to announce beret hats and polkadot dresses can still be spotted in the wild. Also… not one but two recorder players on stage! Saw #belleAndSebastian at the weekend in all their glory. Felt like it was 2005 and all I had to worry about was art coursework and where my bus pass was.

Photograph of the top of a crowd of people looking onto a stage on the right hand side. behind the stage a row of Georgian two story shops can be seen

Perhaps a boring post, but check out this boob height dandelion! (I’m sure there’s a metaphor about resilience/under dog success there)

Move over Monet: a lovely scene on my commute home this evening

Photograph taken from a bridge overlooking a canal. in the canal foliage can be seen, including multiple water lilies in the distance, a bridge and its reflection can be also noted.
the photo is very green owing to the lush plants and the Sun is shining brightly
