A big thank-you to my husband for his valiant attempts to take a nice photo of me on the beach this afternoon.

I like seeing those MRCT lorries on the road because I am Mr CT.

The oyster shell desert and a few barnacle-crusted mysteries. Walking up the streams is easier than trying to pick a firm path.

A proper potter-about on the mudflats at Westcliff, having gone prepared to walk in the streams and the sticky patches. Spot the seals.

My husband following the dance and serving the teas.

@altfife This is how the podcast people should be promoting themselves.

how do people wait 20m with burn under tap excruciatingly boring

@puggle18 Kyrie Eleison!

The book that it’s based on only took eight months to come out. There’s a whole industry of short-turnaround current affairs books that are a mystery to me.

Having seen a trailer for Dumb Money, about the GameStop incident of January 2021, I’m wondering what’s the shortest time from a real event to the cinema depiction.

Mushroom kedgeree made and served. Maybe toad-in-the-hole later.

@merseytart I stood up and saluted.

@puggle18 I love to see the traffic flowing. I often wait until there are other pedestrians approaching, especially if I’m on my bike.

Do you avoid pressing the crossing button when you’re the only pedestrian? Do you hang back from zebra crossings until there’s a gap in the traffic?

@scyrene I still remember the piercing cackle of someone I saw doing that one night, years ago.

@C_J_Todd Usually I cross when and where I deem safe, and do not press the button. If drivers have pissed me off though, I might chaotically press it *after* I've crossed 😈

This poster is inside that building, Thaxted Guildhall.

The Croydon Night Of Dance, yesterday. Pleasantly chaotic. #morrisdancing

One of my favourite genres of painting at the Wallace Collection: sunset cows.

Penguins under Waterloo Bridge.

More of that blackberry mood, although it’s not autumnal yet.

@puggle18 Now is the right time. I’ve just finished mine, made with blackberries and raspberry jam.

I did the blackberry boogie today and here’s Tennessee Ernie Ford to tell you about it. youtu.be/i7UTRbySi6M
