Waiting for our new sofa to be delivered. Chance of any meaningful work getting done before or after? Slim.
Caught up on Taskmaster last night (S13:E6). Was in stitches at the attempts to record the highest number on a pedometer. As I was 30 mins early for an appointment today I decided to apply the simplest strategy to the task: walking. With 2,285 steps in 20 mins I’d have come 2nd
Tasks that present unexpected challenges then are straightforward to complete once you have a clear strategy and the right tools are the most satisfying. Emma 1 : Sofa 0
Here’s how my afternoon is shaping up: dismantling a sofa and trying to follow 10 football matches all at once. How about you?
Currently reading: I Didn’t Do The Thing Today by Madeleine Dore 📚

First day I’ve seen the house martins back playing between the terraces so I’ve downloaded this for my journey this evening

Currently reading: A Thousand Moons by Sebastian Barry 📚
Back to fiction today with one of my favourite authors.
The more I read of Spring Cannot Be Cancelled: David Hockney in Normandy, the more I want to spend my time just looking at the trees in the park outside my back door 📚
Found the flaw in my plan to buy no new books this year… my wife is still buying books. Four she’s finished recently added to my to read pile today 🤷🏼
Sunny morning run before the rest of the world gets up = a good start to a long weekend
Signed up for my first Good Gym sessions today. In the next few weeks I’ll be going on a group run and a litter pick. Looking forward to helping in the community, meeting new people and improving fitness along the way
I do not enjoy getting up early however I am looking forward to an early start for Dawn Chorus Day on May 1
New favourite wordle spin-off framed.wtf 🎬🎥🍿
Running through a field of cows in the middle of the city still feels like a novelty
For me Bank Holidays are about baking and beer. Bonus points this weekend for baking with beer. Spiced stout hot cross buns on the menu today 😋
For a fleeting moment this afternoon the sun reflecting off the crackle glaze on this little pot made a beautiful pattern that reminded me of marbling
I have a long-standing desire to “be more creative” and I think I’ve always equated that to doing more drawing, printing, photography etc. Today I realised the hour or so that I spend cooking every day is creative time. Seems so obvious now, I’m unsure how I didn’t see it before
