I feel very unwell. I’m still going to set my alarm for work but if I feel this awful in the morning I can’t see me making it.

Catching up on the Big L Fab40 I missed on Sunday.

I swear that wasn’t there a minute ago

I made it to the shop and the sea without getting rained on, but today I can feel the cold.

Spent quite a lot of today in a fever doze. About to attempt to get up and ready to go to the shops, now it’s stopped raining. This time last week I was recovering from the hospital appointment and waiting to see if they were going to evacuate us or not. (The bomb has now been exploded out at sea.)

It’s a glorious morning, but unfortunately this bug is making me feel like death warmed up. I had one of those nights where you wake feverishly every single hour, convinced it must be nearly dawn.

I really don’t feel well. I wish I hadn’t gone to stay with my friends at the weekend. There’s nowhere else I could have caught this bug. And I was doing so well with exercise.

I got back indoors just in time. The squall has returned with a vengeance. 46mph gusts and the flood warning now includes the Fal estuary.

You can’t tell from the photo but the waves are spraying the coast path and the wind blew me effortlessly up the lane home. Where I found a familiar visitor sheltering in the gazebo.

As usual, a bunch of mad students are in the sea

Ah, but I have to see the sea, don’t I?

I was supposed to attend the Poly drinks and AGM this evening, plus the screening of a short Cornish film after, but I’m a bit too groggy. Still need to go out and get bread though, if the weather lets up.

I think it should be possible for a patient to offer amendments to notes. I haven’t had the results yet on my recent hospital visit, but the notes have been uploaded to my file. They are mostly as I would have reported them but I note, as always, a certain slant in interpretation of the discussion.

It’s that time of year again: flood alert Lands End to Lizard Point. Spring high tide this evening and increasingly strong winds.

My timeline is full of people moaning about the speech before he gave it. All you had to was wait a few hours, watch/listen/read it and the form a view rather than just constant miserablist and despair. It's simply not healthy.

it’s incredible that dogs have figured out how to outsource their cognition to humans. they will literally stare at you and it makes you uncomfortable enough to try to figure out what they want. the dog might not even know! but you’ll start doing things for the dog until you do something they want.

Thank goodness I get paid tomorrow. It’s getting harder not to hit that wall financially.

I had lots planned for today but I woke up with sniffles and a bit under the weather, so slept for a while at lunchtime. Feeling a bit better now. I suppose I’ll have to start wearing less summery clothes. I’ve paid quite casual attention to the temperatures recently.

We’ve spent many, many hours over the past few months searching the rock pools of Cornwall for a rainbow sea slug. Today, we finally found one! Absolutely worth all the time we’ve spent - it was truly breathtaking.

One of my favourite internet radio stations. Go seek the ether.

I knew that if I fell in love with her I should be embarking on a long and hopeless odyssey of missed appointments, of telephone calls that were never returned, of explanations for absence that were infinitely more mystifying than the truth would have been.. jacquiwine.wordpress.com/2026/09/27/a...

Altered States by Anita Brookner

Slowly but surely, I’m working my way through Anita Brooker’s exquisitely written novels in publication order – they really are jewel-like in construction. First published in 1996, Altered States i…

I accidentally joined another Facebook local group and oh my days.

7.15am. Happy Michaelmas. Too late to pick them lingering blackberries now, the devil will have spit on them.

This photo does not do her justice, but look at that moon.

The violet hour descends. Quite breezy up here. Wind whipping up the incoming tide.

I watched An Inspector Calls again last night. I’ve seen it so many times and I always think the story has lost none of its power.

Just had my regular Restart review. Now to put some washing on and go into town. #buzzybee

I kind of resent being asked to ‘name a film with a female director’, much in the same way as I resent being asked to ‘name a female-fronted band’ or a ‘female author’. It’s 2026. Women have been doing things for centuries now.

They flew off before I could photograph them, but I just saw FIVE magpies sitting in a row on a fence post above the grotto. Five for silver, right?
