29 June 2025: 1985
I've reached my age where I need my socks to tell me how old I am.

28 June 2025: Line Up
I put in a new washing line after the one we had snapped recently. Just in time for those dark clouds to arrive...

27 June 2025: Old Bitchamins
I haven't tried the contents yet but the packaging is enough to make me laugh.

26 June 2025: Backpack
The zip broke on my backpack so I promptly put a birthday voucher to good use in getting a replacement.

25 June 2025: Necklace
I got this necklace from Noirin - 4 rings for 4 decades.

24 June 2025: Queen
My birthday card from Ali raised a chuckle as it is very appropriate for me!

23 June 2025: Giant Cookie
Another sweet treat to enjoy! I am entering my 40s filled with sugar, which can only be a good thing in my eyes.

22 June 2025: Birthday Cake
My 40th birthday celebrations kicked off with a family meal at Amici followed by this beautiful cake.

21 June 2025: Giant Fusili
My current favourite pasta is giant fusili.

20 June 2025: Two Thoughts
Not one but two thoughts to ponder this morning.

19 June 2025: Huxley
I think Mr Huxley was ghosted.

18 June 2025: Summer Boys
Hulk and Steve are ready for the summer heatwave.

17 June 2025: Comfy
I don't know that I'm entirely comfy in my own skin, but most of the time I'm quite content just being me.

16 June 2025: Fidget Noodles
These are currently my favourite thing to fidget with so I bought a whole load of them.

15 June 2025: Cresswell Hall Stable Block
While I was up in Cresswell with Kat and Aidan we had a good poke around the old stable block.

14 June 2025: Stress Relief
There are definitely times when this would be useful in my life.

13 June 2025: Biscuits
I received a lovely Ringtons delivery from Nicola ahead of my 40th birthday. I may manage to make some of the biscuits last until my birthday.

12 June 2025: Home Tarts
I don't know what a home tart is, but sign me up for the fight.

11 June 2025: Hope
Currently I just hope I make it through the working week!

10 June 2025: Black & White
Today's outfit had a pretty monochrome vibe.

9 June 2025: Pineapple Shorts
We went to make a donation of clothes to a charity shop recently and obviously ended up buying things. I stand by my decision to get these shorts.

8 June 2025: Hauxley Nature Reserve
I'd never been here before. It was a lovely area and I felt pretty young as most of the other visitors were older birdwatchers.

7 June 2025: Venison Sausages
I'm not sure who we thought we were buying venison but it was a slightly more extravagant bangers and mash today.

6 June 2025: Octopus Biscuit
My Friday treat this week was a demented looking octopus.

5 June 2025: Lewis Hall
Finally a "live laugh love" I can get on board with.

4 June 2025: Clayton Street
My walk from the bus stop to the new office is a bit longer but it means I get to see such glorious sights as.. Clayton Street.

3 June 2025: Lift Buttons
After over 20 years in the same office, we've moved to a new location. So far I have established that the lifts are far more reliable.

2 June 2025: Stretchy Belt
Another item I've had my eye on for a while. It's nice to have a belt with no defined holes.

1 June 2025: Patchwork
I've wanted this Joe Browns patchwork denim shirt for over 6 months and now I've received my annual bonus, it was finally time.
