Poo.

I’ve just got back and so making my way through my missed days of advent calendar… 2 after lunch!

How’s your Nutella one going?!

This greeted kids in Luxembourg the other weekend when they went to get their treats from St Nicholas.

Happy winter to you too. Similar photo I took just now from my bench. It’s warm(ish) in the sunshine but was wondering whether she had thermals on.

Some wedding photos being taken next to my bench.

Here is the packet… it’s the size of a condom pack. Which is nice!

Bench is like that Homer Simpson thing… I’m in a hedge bench nest.

Photo of archway entrance to the secret garden… but it’s closed due to waterlogged grass. So I’m benching in a quiet spot near the open air theatre.

I am a bird whisperer and design botherer in multiple locations.

The crows still appreciate you I’m sure. Every peanut is a happy crow!!

Got the front seat of the DLR to Bank from City Airport. They even have pretend driver stuff for you to play with. Was rather tempted by the Woolwich Ferry Horn! Toot! 👋🏻

Yes! That Alex.

I’m just waking up in Europe. I love a good sky… here are some from summer on the lake in Finland. More details in the ALT text.

All the distant horizon is made up of islands.

Just flew over West Ham on my way out of City Airport. Took some photos for you and the Sofa Stinker.

I’ve never used an Uber (is that weird?!) I’m 100% walk, bike and public transport. I’ve never owned a car and so don’t think of it.

DLR was perfect. Nice walk up to Moorgate through the City. Elizabeth Line running smoothly and a lovely walk home.

Adorable. 👑

Have a lovely sunset from about 9.15pm yesterday to sooth you after your shopping trip (Chonk doesn’t need help - we do!)

Gull didn’t arrive for breakfast this morning and so she’s probably left for her winter holiday. I like to think of her in Denmark.

Went 40 mins over the lake to village and all the gulls have gone, even near the fishing boats.

The swallows are still swooping and lots of mergansers about.

Cutest clouds on the way home ☁️

Heather is flowering and smells of honey. The bees are loving it.

It’s compulsive viewing and sounds amazing.

Raindrops on the lake.

Finally, first rain in almost a month.

Trees in the garden this morning.

Birch and pine taken from the bay looking up.

The sky looked like rain.

The ravens have been flying round cronking, the northern divers whooping… gull waiting on the jetty… we’ve all been waiting.

The sky is back to blue now.

Please let this lead to rain…
