May your pockets be full of poo bags and treat crumbs soon

I asked Celia P if she had any ideas, no, but suggested Sustain would know if anyone would!

Dog keepership: when you reach into your pocket for your wallet and instead pull out two meters of poo bag roll with a flourish, like a mucky magician.

Up and at it earlier today. Pup to doggy daycare, to uni for a seminar then to Totnes for work. The neighbours have done morning milking and are out to graze. They know the way.

Ironically, losing my glasses made it more difficult for me to find them

Autocorrect thought I meant to say "Live reggae" in an email just now, rather than "Kind regards." I'm going with it.

The irony of having to offer a succinct 300-word summary of content where no such discipline was demonstrated. I resent the endless guff.

Reading academic literature for a new response paper, once more like trying to eat by forcing a dense three course meal through my ear. I love the learning, I love the subject, I'm hungry to know more, but reading and response papers are painful. I just don't enjoy this. #FoodStudies

Dog: I don't know what a sunbeam is or why we need to stop for it, can we carry on with my sniffing please.
A small dog on a lead stands on a quiet country lane surrounded by trees. Morning sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled light and long shadows across the road, with misty golden rays streaming through the trees ahead.

Watched the first half of Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning and oof, what a load of absolute guff. The series should have ended on Fallout.

A ridiculous amount of things competing for space, with a bed of miscellaneous fluff. I hate my bedside table.

UPFs are easy, cheap and long-lasting, and not all of them are bad for you. But they’re lumped together as the devil’s work, another stick to beat people on low incomes or in food insecurity, moralising over their choices instead of tackling the systemic barriers to good food for all. #FoodStudies

I had frogs once. Years ago I did design work for a developer who boasted about being sensitive to nature. Then in a quiet moment he said, “If you think some frog is going to hold us up from building, you’ve got another think coming.” Tedious, ignorant, ecologically illiterate bores.
Rachel Reeves clears planning blockage amid ‘good relationship’ with developer
Exclusive: Chancellor says 20,000 homes were being held up due to ‘some snails that are a protected species or something’

Absolutely disgusting (wipes more off face)

Made apple crumble ice cream swirled with apple butter, caramel sauce, pieces of apple and bits of crumble. It's rubbish, you wouldn't like it.
A tub of ice cream with pieces of apple and crumble sat on the top and swirls of dark caramel sauce.

Saw Celebrity Traitors last night, the first time I've ever seen Traitors, and I think I have the idea now thanks I don't ever need to watch it again *mutes all related hashtags*

I’m in the process of changing direction in my woodworking stuff and I’ve done a daft web page thing: byfen.co.uk

It's just a vanilla ice cream base with apple butter folded through it, I think I'm also adding some toffee sauce. Will top it with crumble so it'll be an apple crumble ice cream 🤤
