Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 29/09/2026No, it's OK! I've had a bit of A Morning, but it's sorted now. Like I say, I don't usually bother, but I know someone who's vulnerable at the moment and I figured it was the least I could do to prevent unnecessary infection. 020
Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Trying to book a flu jab with a voucher from work. Login didn't work on corporate account. I have spoken to 4 different people and listened to 2 different lots of hold music (the second was Mozart). 45 minutes! And I still have to wait for someone to call me back. #headdesk 510
Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Finished the second draft of book 3 in my alien romance trilogy this evening, which was a procrastination exercise so I didn't have to stress about finishing off the tweaks to book 1 and finding someone to read it 😬 #amwriting 340
Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 28/09/2026My only contribution to the Fairford discourse is to be glad that a family member of mine who works there as an external contractor is now relocated to somewhere else until the threat level is reduced. 😬 020
Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 26/09/2026If anyone needs any seriously batshit Christmas decorations, John Lewis have some really weird things this year, including bejewelled whales, skateboarding sharks and a golden grasshopper. No, I don’t know either 🤷♀️ 471

Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Trying and failing to resist the urge to find some pretty self-striping yarn so I can make another pair of legwarmers. My current cardigan project is huge and thus not portable, but I might have opportunities for smaller things on our various travels over the next month or so. 🧶 280

Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Does anyone know when they're going to finish the river path between Iffley Lock and Donnington Bridge? Abingdon Road was horrible this morning and I want to be able to cycle up the river again! (Diversion is too lumpy). 110
Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 22/09/2026My good deed for today was warning the young man in the Parks that I had seen his dog rolling in something as I ran past. From the expression on his face, this was not an unusual occurrence, but he did thank me! 010
Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 21/09/2026🤬 Just heard a tour guide say "Just do your best to dodge the bikes..." after leading 30 people across the road without warning them... ffs. 010
Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Running up the ring road on my way home earlier, I remembered the chap who did the Oxford Half in 2013 dressed as a tree. He was campaigning for rainforest conservation, but his costume was a bit fragile, so I just followed this trail of leaves until I overtook him in Sandford. 🍂🍃🌿 131
Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Home from a lovely few days away. Met some locals... 🐑 020
Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Off to Wales for a few days with my Mum today. The caravan site has almost no mobile signal, and that is one of the best things about it. A few days not being able to doomscroll for hours always makes me feel better. 030
Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Panel number 1 is done! I've been stitching dark blue since bloody April, and am excited to get to do something else! 🪡 1280
Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 14/09/2026New horror unlocked this morning when I showed A one of the prunes in my breakfast to demonstrate how they removed the stone and he said "that's where the worm came out". So that's overnight oats ruined, anyway. 🤢🪱 110
Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 13/09/2026In a pub (A wanted to watch the football), which doesn't have beer mats. It's so warm that I'm having to lean ridiculously to drink from my glass, so that the condensation doesn't soak me as it drips in copious quantities. 😐 110
Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Put off going for my run to listen to the rest of the cricket 🏏 Great result for England, but yesterday was a brilliant day. I'm so glad we were there to see it. #ENGvPAK 040

Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Went for a run after getting some shopping, slightly hungry. Pretty sure I didn't hallucinate the man walking up Meadow Lane dropping chips from a bag while he went. 🍟 121
Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 07/09/2026It has taken me until 1427 to get through the enquiries that built up in the last week while I was off. Roughly 20 actual queries, but some were more laborious than others. I need a(nother) holiday... 🫣 030
Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Home, fed, bed made, first load of laundry done. 🥱 020
Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I have a new ambition: never to be one of the people whose names are repeated multiple times over the speakers at the airport. I also hope never to be the subject of a news report beginning "A British woman has (died/gone missing/other)... 120

Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 04/09/2026This afternoon's harbourside entertainment is being provided by occasional violent gusts of wind, which makes the rigging of the yachts scream and occasionally steals a hat from a tourist. 😎🧢 010

Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Sadly, the last outdoor yoga class of the summer was cancelled, but since it started raining just at the point where we would have been doing sun salutations, I'm not complaining much. 🧘♀️ 130

Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I got a funny look from A when I went out in full waterproofs + sandals for my soggy ride into work, but as I pointed out, wet skin dries much faster than wet socks. 🧦 030
Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I remember the General Election where Margaret Thatcher was elected in 1979. I was six, and annoyed that there was nothing good on TV the next day because it was all news. 010
Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I don't have a lot to add to the discourse about Dolly Parton, apart from being sad that she's gone, but I do urge anyone who's curious to seek out the Sisters of Mercy cover of Jolene from a Peel session in the early 1980s. Gloriously sinister. 🖤 110
Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I rode through a small group of teenage boys on the way home this evening, and all the oxygen in my lungs was briefly replaced by whatever cologne they were drenched in. Reader, I coughed... 💀 130

Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Tfw your partner wants to do something (find a pub so he can watch football), but you (the Information Professional) end up doing most of the legwork to find out where this is possible...

Kate Guest @inky-fluff.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I hated 28 Years Later. Loathed every minute. I gave it several days after watching for my opinion to solidify, but yeah. 2+ hours of my life I'm never getting back. 020
