I saw this last night at the Junction, very funny, and did make me miss my Norwegian and Dutch lodgers in particular.
I'm staying in this afternoon but still hope to get out this evening.
Behold some adorable rabbits.
On World Book Day I'm (re- ) reading Frances Hardinge's Cuckoo Song, for Book Club this weekend, and for the symposium in July.

Photo of Silvius the little Latin mouse dressed as The Very Hungry Caterpillar for World Book Day
#fabulamurina (mouse story) 491
hodie diΔs librorum orbis terrarum est (Today is World Book Day). Silvius simulat personam e libro esse - eruca ieiunissima est! (Silvius is pretending to be a character from a book - he is The Very Hungry Caterpillar!)

I had a look at Bradshaw (my surname) Close once. It had a burnt out car.
Photo of a back garden. Four pots of daffodils in the foreground, then a lawn (ready for its first mow of the year), another four pots and planters in the far corner with daffodils and a couple of pink hyacinths if you look closely. A small apple tree and fig tree just look like twigs at the moment. A creamy yellow brick wall and a white painted wooden fence set off the yellow flowers.
I remembered to plant bulbs last year
I wonder if I have a fight/flight/fix response. How can I fix this threat?
At the chemist - I held the door open for someone with a pushchair and they said "Thank you". The toddler offered me a piece of banana peel and I said "No thank you."
Addenbrookes was designed for a smaller city and really needs expanding... I've been here 20+ years too and the car traffic has hugely increased. But only spent a handful of weekends in Oxford!
Oh! When you mentioned leg-kicking I assumed you were taking your mum to the ballet.
this is a little silliness out of the awfulness. I was curious as to the location of the UK airbase on Cyprus. After finding it on google maps I went exploring. There's a monastery just up in the hills... a monastery with an enticing dedication...
(I added a little Nala Sinephro as a soundtrack)

A small grey kitten at my feet, looking like it wants to climb up my leg. It's completely grey. It looks very soft.
A kitten.
Bright white, red, green patterned fabric which would be a trouser leg but here it's just a rectangle approx 20cm. One side flipped over to reveal the pale blue curved pocket bag sewn into the trouser seam.
An in-seam pocket.
A welt pocket which is a narrow slit in the front material, here a light canvas you can just see through to the structural layers with interfacing, and a large pale blue pocket bag hanging down. Like a cutaway diagram.
A welt pocket.
The bag part of a cargo pocket in dark fabric, pinned onto pale fabric. Pins sticking out all around.
Pinhead I mean Pinpocket.
A cargo pocket in a dark fabric, sewn onto pale canvas.
A cargo pocket. The thick material was quite a challenge to my machine. It's about 20 cm.
In dark green fabric, the sort of curved edge pocket you often get in the front of a pair of trousers.
A front hip pocket.
A patch pocket on a piece of demonstration fabric. Pale cream colour, calico or light canvas. The stitching is in a contrasting colour so I can see how I did it.
Pockets class!
A patch pocket.
Doing many small things today and not started the big ones. My brain reckons I need a second pot of strong coffee but it's lying. Seem to be ok after Friday's exertions.
Finished Planetfall (Emma Newman). Looked up at the living room and the heaps of fabrics I bought this week. I should tidy them...
"Art installation: Watching Paint Dry. Friday 27 Feb 10am - 4pm (approx). All welcome. Bring a chair!"
Six hours of book.
Stockard Channing's Rizzo?
Newmarket Quilt show went well! I was not the only person in the car with ME. It's a good size, managed to do looking and shopping and have a couple of good sit down rests when needed. Now home, unpacked, and will read a book for the rest of the day.
Screenshot of two posts in a timeline. The top one has two photos of recently restored church stonework including a sculpted man's head. The bottom one is a photo of a felted frog waving its arms and saying "Aaaah!". The creamy beige square background to the frog matches the colour of the stonework, as if the frog is looking out of the building.
I am enjoying this timeline juxtaposition.
Dreaming about being late for the Newmarket show because my brain is ridiculous, started coughing in the dream and woke myself coughing for real.
Is this a sim reality which throws up obstacles to leaving town?
Is this the Bad Place??
I am still awake at ridiculous o'clock because I'm getting a lift to Newmarket Quilt Show tomorrow, and it's huge and I'm nervous about getting around it. My body thinks that a poor night's sleep will help somehow. It's wrong.
(Someone's wrong on the internet cartoon but it's my own brain)
Cast an eye over the Smart meter, didn't use much electricity yesterday, but it felt like a normal day?
Oh wait, there was actual sunshine, enough for the solar panels to kick in!
