Me: the light is so golden and our shadows are so tall - nice moment for a photo? Asha: 🤪🤪🤪
Enjoying a lovely flock of normal balloons when up floats this abomination...
the man knew how to keep it dapper in a heatwave... (from www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...)
Dracula in a boater might be even more of a literary fashion upset than the time I read The Maltese Falcon and decided to google 'union suit'...
Lovely day out with Tracy, Ray, and (best til last, but talking too much to remember a photo) @drkatiecoops.bsky.social ❤️
I almost thought this was my dog for a second! She likes to doze with her ears on alert too...
spring in the park! (not pictured: the dog taking advantage of my distraction to steal bread from the ducks, and roll in something best unexamined)
'Hello, is this the hosta naming director hotline? Great, because I just have a few questions...'
Cineworld, Wakefield retail park, where one glorious National Cinema day I saw Con Air for £1.
... not least, I had forgotten it isn't even set in Newcastle, which seems all kinds of wrong. As if Mario Puzo actually set the Godfather in Texas

Another marking season, another jailbreak - Belgium with @oddreally.bsky.social
Stunning! Been about 15 years, but I still miss this old girl at Christmas. She always seemed convinced we'd gathered to celebrate her.

Amazing work! Fondly reminded that many years ago, my students at Exeter made this Bog-Man cake inspired by a Margaret Atwood story...
When you should really be adding some pithy topical updates to this lecture, but you'd rather stick forks in a plug socket than spend another second with the news...
When you get a photo from the dogsitter and realise you've been so far neglecting her art appreciation activities...
In Barter Books, they're playing Leonard Cohen, buying Carbonel and Matilda for my friends' daughters. Bliss.
Eight miles of the coast path and a bucket of whisky sours... starting the holiday right
The sheer satisfaction of treating yourself to these beauties, whilst being able to completely shut down any judgy inner whisper of 'but do you really need any more books? / don't you have enough already?' because it's actually a matter of principle. Checkmate!
