Got a box of those penguin crackers and they're SO LITTLE!

A tiny cracker in the shape of a penguin, about the size of my thumb

I met up with my team for the first time F2F today. I think they already know me a bit too well...

Three bottles of cherry Pepsi Max, one of which has already been broken into (this was taken at 9.30am, I am not ashamed)

This little guy did not like me digging up the bedding plants this morning!

A little green and brown frog, camouflaged against the earth, with bits of bright green foliage around him.

The holiday continues...

A blue picnic table, on which sits a blueberry smoothie with a blue and white straw sticking out of it, and a slab of lemon drizzle cake.

I come to this part of Cornwall for the views. My parents come because this is where Beyond Paradise is filmed, and I can happily announce that today they have spotted Kris Marshall, so will be on the balcony with binoculars until further notice 😂😂

A view of Looe estuary and beach. This picture does not, to my knowledge, contain Kris Marshall, but you never know.

I am VERY confused by what is happening here...if it's a joke, I don't get it. If it's not...why?!

A sign outside a bar - "cocktails served here. Powered by AI. Perfected by our bartender! Come in and try :-)"

I'm on holiday! It's very steep to get up to the flat, but the views are top-tier:

A view of the Looe Estuary looking back over to East Looe. There's a speed boat in the water, and the sky is blue and clear.

Sarah @academiablues.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

I've had worse breakfast views 😊

The view from my window. Picnic tables sprawl over a lawn (half-yellow from the lack of rain), with tall grey buildings on both sides. The Menai Strait peeks out from the shrubs at the bottom of the picture, and you can see past it to the town beyond.

Got a biscoff cookie and had a really nice wander round the garden centre. Ready for a nap now 😂

A cookie with biscoff icing on the top. It takes up most of quite a large white plate.

I've had worse Friday mornings...😄

Christina's World. It's always Christina's World.

Christina's World (1948) by Andrew Wyeth - a dark-haired girl in a pink dress crawls across a field towards a grey stone farmhouse.

On holiday. Saw a castle today 😊

Went out today hoping I might get a milkshake. Managed to get a milkshake. Dreams can come true 😊

The milkshake in question. It has whipped cream and chocolate drizzle on the top. It's also vegan 😊

Sarah @academiablues.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

Theatre. Cauliflower wings. Home ❤️

A picture of some very large fried cauliflower pieces, with chips, mayo and salad. On a board, because plates are apparently so last season.

Still my favourite thing that I've seen recently. You can buy it at the link below. share.google/zPLZw7fKxT1n...

A poster with the words "the world can be cruel - therefore, I won't be." It has a swan on it, surrounded by hearts.

My geum is doing amazingly this year!

A geum, variety: pink petticoats, its flowers popping against green leaves and a tan painted wooden fence

My hairdresser has a new assistant. Not sure what she's like washing hair but she's super cute 😍

In beautiful Rhyl today for work. Had a nice walk along the beach this morning, lovely start to the day 🌞

It's rhubarb season!

A big pan of chopped rhubarb and apple. It's going to be a crumble, eventually!

I've worked in worse places...

The view from my workplace in Wales - grass, sheep, blue sky, mountains in the background

Getting into spicy margaritas about a decade after everyone else. They're good, though.

Might be growing rhubarb, might be a triffid...not sure yet!

A patch of rhubarb in my garden, which is several times larger than any of the other plants near it. The daffodils look frightened!

Sarah @academiablues.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

Currently reading about literary prizes and, well, I think I have a favourite 😊😂

"Diagram Prize for Oddest Book Title - awarded annually to the book with the strangest title. Anyone can nominate titles for the award, a shortlist is compiled by The Bookseller magazine and the winner is decided by a public vote. The winning book is featured in the magazine and the nominator of that title has traditionally received a 'passable bottle of claret.' Founded 1978.

#currentlyreading The Paleontologist by Luke Dumas - hauntings, grief, and dinosaurs in a dusty old museum! Enjoying it so far!

Basically me since being in London and seeing things that made my brain go "ooh!" over the weekend!

The distracted boyfriend meme, with me looking at a new novel idea and ignoring the novel that I need to finish.

Sarah @academiablues.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

Went to London, did a thing. Absolutely shattered now, but had a nice time 😊

#currentlyreading Luckenbooth by Jenni Fagan. Bit different to my usual fare, and it's very well-crafted. Can't wait to see where it goes!

Sunday vibes ✨️

Tomato pizza for tea, but only on two slices of it 😂

A pizza, cut into six. There are lots of cherry tomatoes on two pieces, and none on the others

Happy World Book Day! #currentlyreading The Water That May Come by @amylilwall.bsky.social - really enjoying it so far!

Spring is here!

Sarah @academiablues.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

I'm reading a book from 1994. Yeah. Plus ça change. 😐

The back of the book says "why is there so much apparently unnecessary conflict at work? Why are many organisations in the human services demoralised?" Yeah...

Sarah @academiablues.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

Had a nice Sunday meeting up with a friend, then a win for the rugby and a cherry pain au chocolat after tea. Good day!

A pink vanilla iced chai, from Hampton and Vouis in Manchester.

Got this beautiful notebook today, pictures can't do it justice. I don't need another notebook, but I needed this in my life!

A black notebook with annotated mushrooms and fungi on it

First match of the season, let's go! 🔴⚪️🔵 #Rugbyleague #upthetrin

I've painted my nails red, white and blue!

Sarah @academiablues.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

🎶 and bad mistakes, I've made a few 🎶

A bottle of tropical flavoured Pepsi Max. It is every bit as vile as it sounds, and I refuse to learn any lessons from this.

Sarah @academiablues.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

Guess who didn't realise it was derby day again and went into Manchester?! 😂 Worth it for the amazing pasta at Soots:

A plate of wild garlic and mushroom rigatoni on a wooden table.

I don't love unexpected car repairs. I do love my local garage 😂

A sign on a wall says "please feel free to pop the TV on whilst you wait. If it's cold also feel free to turn the fire on. You can really push the boat out if you like and make yourself at home by popping the kettle on." I...did none of these things 😂

Sarah @academiablues.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

Spent a lovely afternoon playing board games, feeling calm and restored now 😊

A board game on a wooden table. It's Takenoko, with hexagonal board pieces and plastic bamboo stacks.

Got it for Christmas and I'm amazed I didn't just dive straight in on the day, tbh. Loving it so far.

Sarah @academiablues.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

I...oh no. I was kind of hoping for "calm" or "joyous," can I send this one back?!

Your 2026 word: perilous

Sarah @academiablues.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

Stilli help! 😳

My 2026 word is perilous, apparently!

'Tis the season to be jolly and joyous 🎶

Sarah (a white woman with brown hair and glasses) is wearing a Muppet Christmas Carol t-shirt. Rizzo and The Great Gonzo stand in front of some apples - Gonzo (as Charles Dickens) says "I am here to tell the story" and Rizzo says "and I am here for the food".

Won the most amazing hoodie/blanket in a Christmas raffle. It's Animal-print 😂😂

Bath time!

Today I was taken to Knowsley Safari Park by my lovely friends and I saw this extremely cute but very dangerous floof!
