Baking day. Cookies and focaccia.

A round wire rack with freshly baked chocolate chip cookies cooling on it

An uncooked decorated focaccia ready for the oven. It's in a square metal tin and is decorated with rosemary stalks, beetroot slices, tomatoes and olives arranged to look like a floral scene.

What a fantastic day hiking in the Cheviot Hills and then exploring an 11th-century church and castle ruins unexpectedly on the way back to the cottage. It'll be difficult one to top!

The beautiful Northumbrian coast 😍

A little trip down memory lane.

The Radcliffe Camera in Oxford. An ornate round stone building with lots of tourists around it. Old buildings in the background.

The Sheldonian Theatre. An ornate horseshoe-shaped building with a little white dome on top and people milling around in front of it.

The Natural History Museum in Oxford. A sandy-coloured building with fancy windows and a central tower.

Hartland House at Saint Anne's College, Oxford. A stone building with sections of different sizes. A parched lawn is in front surrounded by red and white bunting, and circular wooden tables are to the left in the foreground.

Has anyone got experience going through the conseil en évolution professionnelle here in France? Was it useful? I'm thinking of getting the ball rolling but the only thing I know is that I don't want to do what I'm doing any more.

Husband went for a run first thing and found an abandoned campfire still burning and beginning to spread. He tried to put it out using water from the river but had to call the pompiers. Why are people so stupid? We literally have smoke overhead from Fontainebleau right now.

I don't feel comfortable applying for jobs if there's a criterion I don't meet. I'd feel like a fraud. And why list it if it isn't really required? But apparently a lot of people just apply anyway 🤯 I need to somehow develop the brazen unearned confidence to do this.

A sunny Sunday stroll around town.

A cobbled street with stone walls either side leads to an old stone house with a church in the distance. The sky is blue.

1000 evaluators given identical resumes & told candidate used AI. Only difference on resumes was candidate’s name: Emily vs James. Study found women using AI are evaluated as less competent than men who use AI...To evaluators, women’s AI use signaled inability, while men’s AI use signaled initiative

Found a frame for my latest pastel from art class. The Ring of Brodgar, Orkney 🎨 #Pastel #DryPastel #StandingStones #Orkney #Art

Pastel image of a series of standing stones curling away from the right side in the foreground to the left in the background. Their shadows fall across a path trodden into the green grass that runs in front of them, to the left of which the grass and plants are a mix of browns and reds. In the distance we see a lake, and a dark hill dominates the background behind it. The sky is cloudy, with a mix of purples and pinks, and a light-blue gap in the cloud to the left.

My back is aching just looking at this poor dead tree.

A dead tree with its trunk bent at an almost 90-degree angle to the right against a blue sky and wheat field with noticeably parched grass in the foreground.

After an enforced break due to a bereavement, I have come to realise that I'm basically done with freelance translation and proofreading. The uncertainty and drop in turnover is too much now and I need to accept that fact and focus on where I go from here instead of clinging on.

You hear all these stories about loved ones dying and visiting people in dreams, or people getting this sudden intense feeling like there's still a connection. And I thought I'd feel that somehow even if it was all in my head. But it didn't happen.
