Train home after a lovely weekend in England. I needed that. Thank you @siameezcat

Nice 4.45am shot from the kitchen doorway this morning

Back in the gloom

21st century millionaire fishing village vibes. Nice tho

Grey day but a walk to sort work thoughts is always helpful

Well that was a change from yesterday

Feels like it’s been a little while since I did a London orbit

Discovered a microbrewery and pub in my first 5 minutes in Lancaster. This nicely tasty 3.5% table beer going down nicely thank you after a bit of a drive today. Batmobile performed admirably.

Yeah it’s back AGAIN amazing

Bedford sunset. Big river. Much full

Fantastique

Good morning NOT rainy Paris

Creeper

Pretty skies

Sheep in distance

Morning

Probably close enough

I feel like the guy in The Bear “why are you so slow? This is taking too long. Do you want to call in a professional?”

Yay team!

Yes Merlin, a big wool rug is on the shopping list

Went with raw, does add a little more interest without going too yellow

Tester oils L-R Osmo Raw 3044, Clear Matt 3062, natural topoil 3068
This poplar is very light, the raw and natural had white pigment in and looks almost untreated. The middle one a shade more yellow. Hmmmm not sure.

Felling has begun in the forest nextdoor. I haven’t been in it much this year, it’s felt a bit unsafe (even by my standards!) so while it’ll be sad to see it go it is being replanted so that’ll be a new thing to observe.

Double void cats

Crumble for one, plus a waiting hound for “leftovers”

The specific cause of my downfall yesterday. Who has a “sale” on beer, what a bad idea

Wall panels continue, slowly slowly …but each one is a triumph!

Nice autumn day

“Oh why do you park all the way over the other end of the car park Paul?” … because people are clumsy idiots and should be graded in ability to be allowed to park, operate doors, leave notes or apologies

Rare unplanned family snap. Dad isn’t allowed to smile as he looks like a pirate with his missing tooth.

Morning cows

What’s the deal with these chairs I see everywhere on insta? Horrible. Have they always existed? Yuck

Bye bye rainy island, next stop … um rainy Paris

Really hoping this late summer weather can extend to the weekend

Evening shift is getting shorter/darker/earlier

The sunny days are finally here!

How is it this cold already? Brrr

Mia seems to think this would make a good new time (4.30pm) for dinner. Nope.

The light thing is cool

Not invisible fixings but really really tiny and nice ones

8.30pm 😢

A couple of days of summer promised

Squeezing in a tiny bit of - Stop: hammock time - before the week begins

Sock drawer reboot

Koko curled up on the bed with Merlin. So sweet.

Hello sea, sun

Treasure found

Right, minibreak is go

Skies are back

Something has gone very wrong with the kitchen shit hifi that normally will not play Spotify. 80s hits, autonomously. Hmmm is there a message? It’s playing Eye Of The Tiger from Rocky now.

I mean honestly

Jam packed today (no really - car park is overflowing)

Visited the old camp site, as the sun was going down. Nice memories.

It’s very cold out but how often do you see this in south wales? (I would not have thought the answer would be “a few times a year”)

Proof of Pompidou. So vast. More later

£1.29 unleaded / full house on the Tesla stack

Wood fibre boards. Lovely stuff but unexpected massive compressive strength means that to fit the window reveals flush I need to give it a shave.

Ah this light, briefly

Such a nice day, back to work tomorrow 😭

Good sky

After a very disappointing experience with a Makita jigsaw (blades kept coming out) I’m going to try this thing. Like a teeny tiny chainsaw in a jigsaw form factor. Curious…

Late night eBay worked out fantastic

So ridiculously damp that tiny snails are climbing the house

London! One last NHS design team outing. Pints later south bank ish

Morning cows

30 minutes to enjoy

7.30 still golden but dark in an hour
