Good morning! How are you feeling? I am reeling from a moment of failed perfectionism (spent hours creating something, redid it when saw small error, somehow sent old version to printer 😳). Gotta sort my packing and prep for 4.30am start tomorrow - Zoiks! Loving the sunshine. #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m working my way down a list of things and psyching myself up to run. It feels quite humid out, so perhaps I will try for a slower (ok, even slower!) pace and see if I can avoid overheating. Determined to pack at a time that’s not 3am the day I leave. #StayBright

Sunset making the clouds glow orange and making it look like the sky is on fire. As seen looking down the high street with building on either side. The glass in windows of building on left are reflecting the fiery orange. Quite striking. A few people walking down the highstreet silhouetted. Two tall lamp posts one either side of road.

Good morn-afternoon! About ready to admit defeat with Word formatting. Everything was perfect until I opened the file at the print shop and then it decided to add random line, paragraph and page breaks and go rogue on images. Feeling a bit stressed or enough time to do all I need to do! #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? I think I have completed the document wrangling for now! Now just to get them printed (famous last words!). Got to get running, then ship shape for Starship launch coverage around lunchtime. Busy busy! #StayBright

Mosaic showing a suited man coming up some red curved stairs holding a tray with a single drink on it. Vibrant yellow wall with artwork behind him in the mosaic. Representing Hitchcock’s film ‘Suspicion’.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Yesterday was 90% work, 10% running. Hmm. Not the ideal Saturday. More to do today, but hoping that I am over the hump and can get to the goal of being able to print materials tomorrow/Tues. Living room on hold, frustratingly… one day it will be done! #StayBright

Old house with wooden beam structure and plaster between the beams. A spooky light colour with the sunset - vaguely blue sky with pinky orange streaked clouds. A sort of warm pinkish glow in the air.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’ve got a busy weekend of work.. nyargh. Comedy last night was ace - David O’Doherty was a brilliant headliner - still as funny as when I saw him in Edinburgh many (many) years ago. Run day today and also need to get a new battery for the smoke alarm. #StayBright

Image of Cadogan Hall ahead of the comedy gig. Blue and purple themed lighting and large hall with balconies on either side (and the back where I took this photo from).

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m busy with SpaceWise Academy content development today - and then some comedy this evening. Looking forward to that! Don’t know where the morning went! Slow down time! I need more of you! 😂 #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? Finally booked flights and hotel for the ‘oh it’s happening, leaving next week!!’ trip to deliver a SpaceWise Academy in Dubai. Bit of a scramble! Benefited from a friend’s spare ticket for Micky Flanagan last night - first time in Soho Theatre E17! #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? Busy day yesterday with many trains but I made it to the National Maritime Museum for an evening with the astrophotographers and their amazing photos. A joy to meet the overall winner and see his spectacular image. All of them really incredible pics. #StayBright

Good mornternoon! Has a nice run along the canal yesterday and then bought an interesting spoon in a charity shop. Some research showed it belonged to a WWII soldier, and I felt bad I’d left the non-matching knife with same service number behind. Have reunited them this morning. :) #StayBright

Picture shows handle of stainless steel knife with numbers punched into the handle. 2365890 - a military service number from Royal Signals Corp!

Good morning! How are you feeling? Had a walk along the beach in Southport yesterday and shard some chips from the chippy along the way. Feels like the sort of thing to do in English seaside towns. Didn’t reach the sea though - was miles away! #StayBright

Image of Southport pier which reaches out a long way but the sea is so far away so it is just on the sand. Blue skies above, slightly muddy sand in front.

Good morn-ternoon! How are you feeling? Good fun at the wedding last night - including an impromptu rave with glow sticks. Not quite what I was expecting with the bride being a vicar! Excellent band that played super cool medleys too. Off to walk on beach soon. #StayBright

Terrible photo that’s all drenched in yellow, but shows a dance floor with lots of glowsticks in the air. Bride in the middle.

RadioKate @radiokate.com · 19/09/2026

Good morning! How are you feeling? Made it to Southport for the wedding this afternoon. Thankfully the horizontal rain has now stopped and I am filled with scrambled eggs and toast. 😊 Looking forward to getting dressed up! #StayBright

Restaurant with fake flowers hanging from the ceiling - making it feel almost cave like. Lit with various coloured lights giving it a warm pinky-orange glow.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Somehow it’s already run day again. Where do non-run days go? Okay, so yesterday involved getting lining paper up on half of the room. Genuinely exciting. Can’t finish it alone though, so will have to wait until after weekend trip. #StayBright

Image showing the geometric curved roof at King’s Cross station. There are some coloured lights projected on the ceiling like a bit of a rainbow. On the left is the mezzanine with food places - it’s at a bit of an angle due to the way I took the photo.

RadioKate @radiokate.com · 17/09/2026

Good morning! How are you feeling? Big step day yesterday with a run and a couple of dance classes - woo! Thought I’d done first coat of paint on ceiling, until I looked at it in daylight and saw all the bits I missed. Ha. Back to it then… #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? Took a break from painting last night for a quiz team reunion. We came second - not helped by my total inability to recognise famous people on the picture round! Run day again. Why is it always run day?! #StayBright

Looking through the bright green leaves of a spider plant, and a window, a blue tit can be seen on a rotted wooden window sill outside.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’ve just made use of the wonderful Forest Recycling Project to buy some good quality paint and save it from landfill. Cheaper for me, better for the environment - everyone’s a winner. Does mean I no longer have an excuse not to do the ceiling. :/ #StayBright

Old warehouse/factory style buildings whose fronts have all been painted in different patterns, with bunting stretching across the road. They are now microbreweries and a gin palace. Sky looking deliciously blue and there is a shadow from the pointy roofs of buildings on other side of road, complementing the points on the roofs on this side.

RadioKate @radiokate.com · 14/09/2026

Good morning! How are you feeling? Very long day of non-stop caulking, painting and masking - but I’m very impressed with the progress and the quality of the sprayed finish. Woohoo! Today I have to face the horrid task of painting a ceiling. Yuck. And running. Double yuck! #StayBright

Window frame with newspaper masking the glass and looking (almost) like stained glass as the light shines through.

RadioKate @radiokate.com · 13/09/2026

Good morning! How are you feeling? I have caulked so much my finger is sensitive today. Owch! Friend has come over with paint sprayer so might have a go at getting woodwork paint completed today - ooh! Lots of work yesterday followed by pizza and a beer. #StayBright

Large bay window wooden frame with undercoat of white paint on it. No carpet or wallpaper in the room.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Getting set for another mammoth day of painting intricate moulding on doors and window frame. Then I need to tackle the ceiling *gulp*. Eyes on the prize though - progress important. Had fun playing darts last night. Righto - let’s go! #StayBright

Dartboard with two darts in the outer bull and one in the 7. I’m not very good, but I am trying - and was pleased with this.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’ve been for my run and heading out for a double scan day (plus jigsaw time in-between) at cancer centre. Thinking of my NY friends today. Can you spot the fox in today’s pic? ? #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m back up and down ladders with a paint brush, to give myself a break from paint stripper fumes - bleh. Pondering if I am brave enough for a beginner solo jazz dance class this evening. Not sure I am… #StayBright

Lovely rich red stone, dark red, sitting atop a curvy white/cream stone on the beach. One of the rocks I’ve loved and left.

hate to be That Pedant, but we haven't cured cervical cancer. We've shown that we can reliably prevent it if you get the HPV jab early enough: older women are still getting and dying of cervical cancer, and younger women who don't have the jab will still be at risk of it.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I feel like I broke my own rules with my message yesterday. I’m meant to send a positive message with some small beauty I’ve spotted in the world, but the varnish goo got the better of me. To explain, this progress has taken a week - but - progress. #StayBright

Collage of four images of a wooden door. First is very dark brown with paint caught in the panel architrave. Second is brown with some white showing through. Third shows signs of pine beneath dark varnish. Third shows almost stripped door, with thin layer of light varnish remaining in places.

RadioKate @radiokate.com · 08/09/2026

Good morning! How are you feeling? The battle against the varnish from hell continues. Today has to be the day I win, surely? I’ve scraped off so much and there’s loads still to go. It’s like treacle! Just need to be patient and persistent I guess. #StayBright

Plastic tub with bits of brown sticky varnish that I’ve scraped of the door to give you an idea of the hell I’m dealing with. Some running down side of container.

Good morn-afternoon. I am confused why my earlier message didn’t post. Anyway - have found Victorian Varnish from Hell is an unforgiving opponent. In better news, serendipity yesterday saw me stumble on Lea Rowing Regatta in time to see my friend’s boat with their final! #StayBright

Huh. My morning message didn’t post. Lost in the ether. That’s annoying. I’ll try again now - apologies for the untimeliness!

RadioKate @radiokate.com · 06/09/2026

Good morning! How are you feeling? Yesterday was a combination of dust, more dust, some gloopy melted varnish, scraping, filling, sanding and yet more dust. Then a run and shower to make me feel human again. Went to see The Dog Stars as it’s Nat. Cinema Weekend - cheap films! #StayBright

Buddleia flowers - little lilac flowers with leaves behind in the background

Good morning! How are you feeling? Looking forward to being part of a patient participation group to discuss a new research study today. Not looking forward to many hours of sanding this weekend. Eyes on the prize though. #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? Looks a little drier out there today which is good for my run day. Got totally drenched the other day. Back to London and DIY fun this evening. Bringing a few choice rocks from the beach. #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? Bit drizzly here today, but I need to keep my step count up so I think I’ll brave the damp and go exploring. Any good ideas for family-friendly meals to cook? (That work for fussy teens?) #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? Run day here (joy of joys), but then might spend some time playing with the pretty stones I picked up on the beach. Also going to start a series of ‘stones I’ve loved and left (on the beach!)’. Heh. #StayBright

Ooh - look at this fascinating rock/crystal I found on Hornsea beach. I think it’s called a ‘dragon’s egg’ when complete - this one had been found and broken before I saw it. #RockHound

Image of rock that appears to be made of smaller sections of grey rock, with brown crystalline veins through it. My hand for scale.

Another part of the parent rock - this time more of the crystalline brown than the grey. Held up against beach backdrop with sand and cloudy blue skies

Good morning! How are you feeling? I enjoyed a break in the rain and had a walk in cloudy sunshine on Hornsea beach. Found a ‘Devil’s toenail’, some belemnite pieces and a crinoid fossil. Last day here so off for another beach walk now. #StayBright

Image shows beach finds lined up on decking. Including a crab shell, some fossils, some lovely smooth yellow tone stones and a darker red stone.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I got up and went for a run by the sea (views like that definitely help with the tedium of running!). Scrambled egg on toast and next up is a bit of fossil hunting (and admiring pretty rocks on Hornsea beach!). #StayBright

View over the beach and some large rocks. Sea and grey cloudy skies with hints that the sun is behind them.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Off for a day out in Hull. Never been to Hull before, so nice to explore somewhere new. Any hot tips from people who know the place? Paragon Arcade is quite fancy! #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? There was rain up north yesterday - lots and lots of rain! That gave me an excuse not to run, but I really should get out today before we set off for Hornsea for the weekend. Nice to be away from sanding and dust! #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? I think I broke the back of the prep nightmare yesterday, and I did A LOT of caulking. Today I have treated myself to same fancy Zinsser undercoat to help make up for late application of knotting solution. That’s how I roll. #StayBright
