A move away from Dons to Frances Tophill is the obvious solution here. Where do I vote? 😁 I mean, she already has an excellent dog, so fulfils that requirement).
May turn ugly, as this leaves a power vacuum that the other Dons will move in to grab.

Northern. Generalised wandering, nature, botany, birds. May also bang on about Castlefield Corridor without warning.

Oh, this has crept up on me! 1.5 days of work left, 17.5 off. SEVENTEEN. Crawling towards Thursday afternoon.

Good sky. Headtorches and waterproofs required for last bit of downhill. Hello, autumn.
Been up the Monday Night Hill. The Big Bog Puddle is back! Hurrah. Moors are meant to be soggy.
Date yourself with an image of your first ever computer. Still strongly suspect my Dad bought it for himself, not us. Didn't stop me deeply loving Frogger for many years.

The sheep have started massing against us. I wish they'd get on with it, pretty sure they'd do a decent job of works domination.
Dales doing some very dramatic weather for us today. Rain, rainbows, gales, sunshine. Definition of a proper hike is constantly moaning about having to take layers on and off. 😁
When life imitates art. 😁 Driving home through a Jen Orpin painting.
Dug the daylight lamp out this morning. Bus stops were teeming with college going teenagers with freshly dyed blue hair as I drove back from pilates. Think I might need to find a warmer cardigan to sit through this morning's calls. 😁
Well, that's the last day of August done then. Ran, sanded some doors, went to a sound bath with my friend who is back to school tomorrow (teaching not studying!). Facing September as Zen as I'm going to get. 😁
Might try this tomorrow if anyone asks me to do anything too onerous.
I came in from clubbing after a shift at the pub and went "what?", decided weird Dan was making things up again and only believed when my more reliable friend turned up in the morning with Red Bull and concrete news. The 90s are a foreign country, we did things differently there. 😁
I don’t have anything profound to say about the death of Diana. It did strike me at the time when people said that “and like the JFK assassination, you’ll always remember where you were when you heard” that for most of the British public, it would be “in the kitchen, making the first tea of the day”
Nice light and ghostly me. Unfortunately, will have to wholly remanifest as a solid human for work tomorrow.
Bank a holiday train vibes. 😁 Never seen an express to Victoria so empty.
Might make myself a knee one. I bet a knee shaped hot clay plate would be quite nice...
Roman clay hot water bottles in the shape of human body parts used for therapeutic purposes some 2,000 years ago! Found in a building which may have been a healing centre. Paphos Archaeological Museum, Cyprus 📷 by me #Archaeology
Have been to see Coyote Vs ACME. Will be communicating only by saying 'meep meep' for the rest of the day.

So cross to discover I'd sent my Mum inaccurate information (Melissa Harrison's wiki page) I've just done my FIRST EVER Wikipedia edit (added The Given World to the bibliography). I feel quite proud of myself.
Mum: "Get your nose out of that book and look, this is HISTORY". Me: "mmmph" Berlin Wall coming down. 😁
What's the first historic event that you remember?
Fabulous sky up the hill tonight. Startled a sheep by demonstrating lizard pose on a small hillock. Young wheatears whizzing about looking for bugs. Headlights on for the drive home, though. On the cusp.
Morning! This morning I am channelling the energy of this rowan tree on the west side of Arenig Fawr, which was continuing to grow despite being split in half by lightning. 💙
Yr Wyddfa at 7.30am this morning. Looking pretty stunning with its early morning hat on.
Nantlle Ridge hilly things. Mynydd Drws-y-Coed, Trum y Ddysgl and Mynydd Tal-y-Mignedd. 💙 God, I love Eryri.

Been up some more hills. This was "I can see the sea!" 😁
Been up Arenig Fawr. 10/10, excellent hill. Also approved of the suspicious sheep.
To be fair, not looking too bad at the moment.
Going to Eryri tomorrow. Good old Wales. 😁
