The woodcuts at the Escher exhibition are gorgeous, but if I win the lottery I want either of these.

Puddle, a woodcut made by Escher in 1952.

From Wikipedia: "It depicts an unpaved road with a large pool of water in the middle of it at twilight. Turning the print upside-down and focusing strictly on the reflection in the water, it becomes a depiction of a forest with a full moon overhead. The road is soft and muddy and in it there are two distinctly different sets of tire tracks, two sets of footprints going in opposite directions and two bicycle tracks."

Butterfly woodcut from the series Emblemata, 1931.

Just seen our new corporate strategy and slogan, and wondering when I'll be able to get away with this in a presentation.

Quark from DS9. Rule of acquisition number 9: opportunity plus instinct equals profit.

Been fortunate to go to a few of her exhibitions in recent years. You, Me and the Balloons (massive inflatables in Manchester) was a favourite. A complicated, troubled and prolific woman who made the world a lot more interesting. RIP.

Dolly (and the Spice Girls) got me through COVID.

Me wearing my Dolly Parton face mask during COVID. Literally one of the only things that cheered me up during the shittiest of times.

Lovely evening. All I could I hear was the sea and what sounded like a Hindi version of Yesterday.

Middleton-on-Sea beach. So posh even the name is hyphenated.

At least one of us is comfy on the sofa.

Very pleased with my first GF blackberry clafoutis.

Found this beauty (elephant hawkmoth) in a spider's web. Too late to save it, though its damaged wing meant it wouldn't have got very far anyway.

🎵It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year🎵 (Eternally grateful for the existence of M&S GF crumble mix.)

Freshly picked blackberries on top of sliced apples, about to be covered in crumble mix.

Along with Delia's rant, this is an all-time football favourite. (I don't know who the artist is to credit them.)

Poster modelled on Kevin Keegan's "I will love it" rant at Alex Ferguson, after Newcastle's 1-0 Premier League victory against Leeds United in the 1995/1996 season.

Because the Diva must be near me at all times, even when she can't be.

A white dog with a black ear asleep on the floor. She is prevented from getting into my bed by the child safety gate she sleeps behind. She will not leave this spot until I get up, then will spend the entire day following me round the house, never more than a metre from my side.

I may have shed a tear or two when I saw these up close a couple of years ago.

Sometimes Google still works.

Search for Widow's Bay on Google and it returns "Did you mean: the next martha's vineyard and definitely not cursed".

Repost with your first crush.

Rizzo from Grease.

My old lesbian heart almost exploded when I met Stockard Channing in person 2-3 years ago, outside The Young Vic.

Nice to see this running today.

Found a stash of last year's raspberries in the freezer, so it's crumble for tea.

A glass bowl full of sliced apples and raspberries, which are soon to be encased in GF crumble mix (praise be to the lord St Michael), then drowned in a vat of Bird's custard.

From waterproofs and thermals yesterday to t-shirts and sunscreen today.

Panoramic view of fields and hills near Calton, in the Peak District. Nothing but green fields and blue sky, with the occasional cloud, for miles. And only the sounds of animals and birdsong for company.

My co-worker has decided sleep is preferable to everything else.

When did your obsession with hot toxic women begin?

Jenny Schechter, from The L Word, who turned into a beautiful monster over 6 - mostly terrible - series. She was literally the only reason to watch the show, and then they fucked up her death.
