Went to see The Dead South at Cambridge Corn Exchange last night. Not the kind of music I would normally seek out, but my partner is a big fan. They were massively good fun, as were their support band (Rob Heron and the Tea Pad Orchestra). Need to add cowboy boots and hat to my wardrobe now 🤠

#RecipeOfTheDay is Tomato Curry with Coconut Rice, and I commend it to the house! PS It also happens to be vegan, if that’s of interest, and even if it isn’t. www.nigella.com/recipes/toma...

The adventure is going great so far 😍
A dark glassy loch with mountains in the background. Fluffy white clouds cover a blue sky. The mountains are shadowy with areas of bright light where the sun is breaking through the clouds.

My Mum is always misplacing her phone and never has it on her when she needs it. I always make fun of her for this, but now I think it's this house because I've been doing the same all week. To be fair, sometimes it's really nice to go out without your phone.

Been to the spa for massages, facials and afternoon tea with Mum today. Just lovely.

Judging you from Scotland #judgementalcroissant
My ginger cockapoo curled up in a ball, looking at the camera. The whites of his eyes are visible, it's a very judgemental expression on his face.

Lunch at the Anchorage in Dunure. This place has a brilliant vegan selection and a full dog menu. I had the beer battered banana blossom with chips, Rufus had his first try of mince and tatties. Both of us were very happy 😊
A white rounded rectangular plate with chunky chips, salad, a creamy white sauce in a metal ramekin and battered banana blossom goujons. It looks like a plate of traditional fish and chips. There's a bottle of non-alcoholic beer with some poured in a glass behind the plate, along with a tin of cutlery and other people's drinks can partially be seen.

It was too cloudy in Ayrshire for us to see the eclipse, but my partner videocalled us so we could see his view down south. How cool is this shot?
Partial solar eclipse. The sun is a crescent shape, with a bright lens-flare glare orb below it and a pinkish haze around it (also caused by the camera).

Vegan Pepperoni is super easy to make (in the air fryer or oven) and it's such a tasty deli slice. It's really good on sandwiches or of course the obligatory 🍕 pizza. Here's the recipe. theveganlunchbox.co.uk/vegan-pepper... You must try it! #plantbased #dairyfree #vegan #vegetarian

Good morning! Have I introduced you to Layla? #newfie #newfoundland #cockapoo #besties
Two dogs posing beautifully for the camera (for once!) On the left: Layla, a brown and gold Newfoundland, one of Rufus's best pals. On the right: Rufus, the ginger cockapoo, also known as the judgemental croissant. They're outside on a deck with garden chairs and table in the background, and some flowers can be seen too.

Rufus and I are travelling up to Scotland today... he's unusually calm waiting for the train. What do we think? Does this bode well for a nice peaceful trip ahead or is he about to get crazy? #judgementalcroissant #cockapoo

Made pizza for dinner last night. Sourdough base (store-bought, so maybe I should say "assembled pizza" rather than "made"), houmous & tomato paste sauce, artichokes, sundried tomatoes, This Isn't bacon, I Am Nut OK mozzarella & basil. Really tasty & filling! #plantbased #vegan #thisisnt #iamnutok

This is Tzatziki. His reactivity toward other dogs kept him in rescue for over a year, as it made him harder to place in a home. Thanks to you, we covered the training he needed to become more adoptable. After 455 days, his patience paid off and he found his forever home ❤️‍🩹
Tzatziki is standing outside on a straw-covered ground while wearing a green leash. She has her eyes closed and her head tilted upward toward the sunlight, with one front paw lifted off the ground.Tzatziki is sitting on a sidewalk beside her foster dad, who is holding her blue leash and looking down at her. Tzatziki is wearing a light green sweatshirt and looking up at him while they wait near a city crosswalk.Tzatziki is sitting on a bright blue couch between her two adopters. Both adopters are smiling at the camera with their hands resting around her chest. Tzatziki is facing forward and panting with her tongue out. She is so happy!

I'm not as fancy as the places we go out to eat. Dinner is wholewheat spaghetti w/ mushrooms, shredded seitan, roasted Brussels sprouts and spinach. Sauce comprised of leftover hummus, homemade dill pickles + juice + garlic. We also had pickle juice mocktinis, but no photo. #plantbased #vegan

No, you don't need AI for that. Did you know that Affinity Studio is a completely free tool that lets you work on pixel images, vector illustrations and page layouts simultaneously IN THE SAME FILE? 👉🏻 www.affinity.studio (It's free because Canva wants you to buy its AI stuff. Just say no.)

The temptation to spam you with every food photo I took at Vanderlyle is huge, but I'll spare you... except for this last one, because tiny toast makes me happy 🍞 #vegan #plantbased #finedining
Two dishes: one is a cashew parfait topped with various purees, gels and a tiny piece of toast. The other is a seed cracker, topped with different purees and gels.

My partner took me out for an amazing dinner at Vanderlyle in Cambridge to celebrate my birthday. One of my absolute favourite restaurants. They really prove you just don't need animal products or alcohol to have a decadent, indulgent dining experience. Happy girl 🥰 #vegan #plantbased #finedining
Two carrot appetisers shaped like ice cream cones displayed in a ceramic and wood vessel. The "ice cream" is vibrant orange smoked carrot tartar coated in bright green chives, the cone is made of nori (and something else I can't remember). A foamy mocktail, candle and other tableware in the background. My partner's hand is poised to grab a cone as soon as I stop taking photos!
