HM King Piers of Peterborough, Emperor of East Anglia. An original piece by the author. I like secateurs. Cats, woodwork, metalwork, gardening and whimsy. If you don’t create, you can only consume.

I’m nodding off watching tele. Not long to bed. Not long.

You’ll be fine, there are plenty of things to get on with and it’s the right time of year. Just hold on!

I’ve had today completely off exercise beyond necessary movement and I feel bloated and sleepy and it’s been a wonderful day.

I don’t mind admitting I cannot abide Amol Rajan and he’s why I’ve not watched Universally Challenged since Paxman quit. Rajan has the most gratingly annoying personality on tele.

Here are the woods at the weekend. They weren’t very autumnal.
The woods on Sunday. Fading green leaves with a blue sky peeking out from behind white clouds. It’s a moody scene, like something from a Constable or Turner.

You’d think, having signed in, iPlayer would know not to bother promoting football to me as a pre-show ad since I’ve never watched any footy on there.

My apologies to anyone else who’s old enough not to want to be reminded just how fucking long ago it was, but: today is the 41st anniversary of the release of Cloudbusting—so it must be time to tell you about Wilhelm Reich and his orgasmatron...

At risk from further decay, St Tyfi's, Llandyfeisant is a charming Gothic church that is sadly suffering from a combination of rotting roof timbers, invasive vegetation and defective drainage. However, with your help, we can repair St Tyfi’s. 1/10

I think if I needed ID for a date I’d be rather apprehensive and call the whole thing off.

I couldn’t watch it all but reading her face my feeling was as she started reading the script she realised what bollocks it was she was spouting and then couldn’t keep her mind on what she was doing. From there it snowballed. Horrible.

Here’s what I think. I think the Olympics should be hosted by Much Wenlock or Greece every time. Preferably Greece.

This frog I just made is a mood.
A frog. They are made of felt and have skinny legs and their arms are drooping at their sides.

Just eaten the last melon. They weren’t big, they didn’t taste of a huge amount but as a first try I was chuffed to bits and I’ll definitely try again next year (this time with a tastier variety).

I don’t think they let you pick a pumpkin for free, sadly. I wouldn’t pay for pumpkin whether I picked it or it was picked.

Mine have been excellent, after a couple of flavourless meagre cropping years. The heat really helped!
