Prepped for a late lunch. We like a lot of vegetables, six today.

These #nemo #potatoes are a little odd looking. First time I’ve used them.

Four weeks and post #covid fatigue plus medication fatigue has me preparing vegetables sitting down. Would have done this with a glass of wine but I’ve not eaten enough 🙂

Good morning #birds

So instead of putting the convicted felon in jail, where he admits he would be, you put him in the white house. Oh, America, you are beyond belief.

Just cancelled my subscription to The Times Literary Supplement as I find I don’t read it anymore. Also cancelled The Bookseller for the same reason. Not cancelled London Review of Books though. #lrb #tls #booksky

There was finally a negative test for him, too, but we still feel groggy, especially me. #covid is a real bugger! Cannot imagine the mess I’d be in, with my compromised immune system, if I didn’t vaccinate each season. Thank you #nhs

Friends! A left-field request but: We're looking for a dermatologist to consult on a piece of historical research. (It's about certain products and short-, medium,- and long-term effects they have on the skin.) Anyone who knows anyone, or is in a position to help - would be so grateful.

Tiny reminder that the deadline for responses to the Government consultation on Copyright and AI is the end of this month. No time for that? Write to your MP. Don’t just moan about it on socials, DO something.

People of a certain age will know. This Astonish disinfectant smells like Max Factor Spiced Apple Roll-On Lip Potion 🙂

This #bumblebee has been buzzing about in the #mahonia for a week. I hope it has somewhere warm to sleep #garden

Dinner date 😁 #jellycat

Authors who submit arcs to #netgalley, how do you feel about lcp files being the “new, exciting” way to read? In a browser? Really? Ugh! So many reviewers complaining about it. Also, there’s no longer a way to read on #kobo so I guess I’m out. #booksky
