Some striking and exotic flowers from @cubotanicgarden.bsky.social glasshouses the other week. The first - hibiscus schizopetalus - was my fave. Fascinating! 😍💚 #FlowersOnFriday Spider hibiscus Beach spider lily Flame lily Passiflora reflexiflora Princess flower Red flame ivy

Ten minutes in the garden - committing to a longer session is hard right now, but small efforts add up and ten minutes is manageable virtually every day. Some days hopefully I'll get carried away and spend longer... 🌱

I added another category of my own...

The title "QUESTIONS", with a pink arrow sticker as a bullet point, on a dotted page in my bullet journal. #bulletjournal

Bullet journal - I've worked hard this week to get it back on track (phew!) but I need to be more careful to stick with it daily when I'm struggling, as it makes such a difference to my productivity and focus. youtu.be/fm15cmYU0IM?...

Bullet journal, with today's date and today's to do list. #bulletjournal

One tiny exercise habit, because a single small, consistent daily action can be an anchor for better intentions, better behaviour and better focus overall. And my grumpy shoulder really needs this.

Tools to get back on track this month (and regain control of my routine, my time, my goals, my garden and more) - a thread unfolding over the next 24hrs or so... 🧵 First, a mental inventory, to declutter my mind. To do tomorrow... #IntentionalLiving #BulletJournal bulletjournal.com/blogs/bullet...

A spread in my bullet journal, with the title MENTAL INVENTORY and three subheadings: DOING, WANT TO DO, and SHOULD DO. And a sticker that says YOU FUCKING GOT THIS.

#FourPhotosOneMonth September 2026 A garden spider with big ideas! Dewdrops and sunshine in the garden. Red, yellow and blue in the glasshouses at Cambridge Botanic. A great (low-fodmap) start to a great day's shopping and mooching in town. #LittleJoys

A garden spider on its web in front of my TV.

A pink cosmos flower with sunlight shining through it and dewdrops clinging all over its stem.

Three cactuses. One has big red spines, one has small yellow tufts of spines, one is very bluish all over.

Café breakfast, with sausage, bacon, poached eggs, roast tomato, and a big bowl of hash brown bites. Coffee on the side. Across the table, my partner has the 'full English feast' with baked beans, mushroom and toast!

I blinked and suddenly southern green stinkbugs are all over my cosmos and tomatoes 😬 They're a pest in hotter countries but supposedly they're not too much of a problem in the British climate - let's hope it stays that way 🤞🏻 #BugSky #Invertebrate

4th instar southern green shield bug nymph on cosmos. It is black with red shoulders, a greenish tinge to the lower half of its back, and rows of whitish spots.

Good family times for my Dad's 75th today, with a roast chicken dinner followed by marshmallows over the firepit while the full moon came up. Now that he has #dementia, every celebration feels like saying goodbye a tiny bit more 💔

Splashed out on this dress on our big day out on Monday and I'm gonna need to host a whole load more parties to wear it at. 🥰

Evening, Bluesky. I still love you, but boy, I'm short of bandwidth at the moment. It's been a heck of a year, and I'm harvesting, I'm pruning, I'm letting the old fall away, I'm putting down deeper roots. Take it easy 🍂

Blue dusk sky with wispy pink clouds over the treeline. A cloud-misted moon sits poised between the branches of a birch tree so exhausted it's already given up its leaves.

Come back, I was only admiring your handsome suit! 😍💚 Just chased this southern stinkbug larva (3rd instar?) across my patio for a pic. They're new to the area, and fairly new to the UK. #BugSky

Nearly time to redo my little hallway nature shelf for autumn. I was lacking inspiration at the start of the summer but it filled up very nicely over time 🥰💚🍂

A small three-shelf unit arranged with feathers, a dried rose and a champagne cork, a tiny trailing houseplant, a stained glass candle holder, found stones, gemstones, fossils, pearls in an oyster shell, a sea potato, a crab shell, a sea holly leaf, and beetles preserved in acrylic.

Kept hearing a little tapping noise behind the curtains... Finally found this devil's coach horse beetle trapped in a plant pot, flopping around trying to climb out! 🥹 The mind boggles as to how it got there... I've never even spotted one in the garden before 😄 #InsectThursday #coleoptera

Low FODMAP breakfast. With a bit of planning, this diet is turning out much easier and more fun than I expected 😊 Hoping it's the answer to my horrendous cyclic (huh?) gut pain and also GOOD GRIEF I'M FINALLY LOSING WEIGHT and don't crave food anymore!

Morning Bluesky! Had an overbusy weekend, but a lovely day out at @cubotanicgarden.bsky.social yesterday. It was tricky light for photos but that didn't stop me trying! Loved how summer met autumn in this little scene. 🌱🍂 #BloomScrolling
