Good morning! How are you feeling? I am going to try to force myself out for a run and then enjoy being somewhere a bit different. Enjoyed watching Olympic sports I know little about and marvelling at the technical vocabulary I don’t understand. #StayBright
Completed jigsaw showing nine cats as though painted by different famous artists like Klimt, Van Gogh, Monet and Kandinsky. Each of the nine grid squares has a different stylised cat.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I was getting stressed by living room mess so running away up to Manchester for a couple of days. Wish trains (and lime plasterers!) weren’t so expensive. Nice exhibition on ladies behind Liberty fabric designs at William Morris gallery. #StayBright
Goache painting of all sorts of colourful flower heads packed together in an uneven square

Good morning! How are you feeling? I saw a word in a cartoon the other and it feels about right for today “overwhelmulated”. Living room progress slower than a sloth. I’m so done with it all tbh. Hey ho. Keep nibbling little bits off and hopefully I’ll get there. #StayBright and use nice notebooks!
Image shows a dark blue notebook with gold patterns and little planets with rings. On top is a dark blue pen, both sitting on a wooden table.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Managed a decent distance (but slow) run yesterday which was good. Today involves attempting to learn lime plastering, from the internet. Yup. Hmmmm. Then dancing! #StayBright
View of leafless trees, some ivy along the ground, and water with lots of pond weed making it look like a bright green stream. Ducks swimming along making swirls in the green.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Enjoyable day of comedy and crafts yesterday, so definitely no excuse not to run today. Nice thing done and friend very touch and slightly overwhelmed I think. ☺️#StayBright
Picture of little plaques next to the selection of crisps hanging at the side of a bar. One of the plaques is for my friend and reads “London loves you”.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Nice evening of swing dancing last night and looking forward to seeing Rose Matafeo this afternoon. Am also doing a nice thing for a nice person and I’m excited to see their reaction. 😄 #StayBright
Swing dancers dancing in a large hall with a warm red/purple ambient light.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m surveying my to-do list and trying to figure out how to make things happen. Then it’s off out this evening to dance the night away at SwingDen. Might delay my run to leave me with the energy for dancing! Found a phone box library! #StayBright
Old red phone box transformed into mini public library with book shelves and lighting that make it glow against the darkness of the night

Good morning how are you feeling? It’s gotten a little chilly again hasn’t it? Or is that just me being stingy with the heating? 😂 Lots of fun at the Bill Murray comedy club last night - John Kearns, surprise Simon Amstell appearance and a great set from Amelia Hamilton -she rocks(raps!) #StayBright
Back of my hand with a blue and a red smiley face - showing I had tickets to both shows at the comedy club last night

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m taking a little moment to remember one of the most amazing women I’ve ever known. It’s ten years since we lost Granny - I used to enjoy sharing her with you lot because she was too good to keep to myself. Cheers to you gran. #StayBright
Granny sitting in an arm chair in a lilac cardigan and smiling at the camera. Behind her is a wooden bureau with a collection of space photos and personal messages from a cosmonaut and a Moonwalker.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Big space news as the ‘wet dress rehearsal’ (basically fill the rocket with fuel and test your countdown procedures but not launch) of the SLS Moon rocket found some problems - namely leaks. Artemis II not launching before March. I wanna be there.. #StayBright
The SLS rocket on the launch pad at night. An almost full moon rising above the horizon and tinted orange - rather like the orange core stage of the rocket. Credit: NASA

Good morning! How are you feeling? Lovely to see NY Tom for some dinner and bingo, not that I was graced with a jackpot! Trying to focus and write today. I think it might be time for a biscuit. #StayBright
Side of a pretty ugly building that has been painted in bright colours with the phrase: “make happy” in yellow letters and streaks of other colours running down. Set again dull sky and unexciting urban scenery.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I might have had a little too much red wine last night. Oops. Looking forward to seeing my friend from New York this evening, he’s requested a trip to the bingo, so that’s on the cards. Hehe. #StayBright
Image shows Chester Cathedral with green grass in the foreground and bright blue skies. A leafless tree on the right hand side. The cathedral is a sort of red-brown brick and quite blocky.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I can’t believe it is run day again already. Trying to persuade myself to get on it and get out… but it’s cold. Heading back to London this afternoon. Need to steel myself for more DIY! #StayBright
Bag of brightly coloured buttons. Different sizes and designs. Not a picture of Chester cathedral I wanted to share because BlueSky wouldn’t upload it for some reason!

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m delighted to have saved a local woman from some scam-artist plumbers - job done by my lovely plumber cost her a tenth of what they quoted! I hate them taking advantage of people. Also did a run! Go me! #StayBright
Signal box/BT junction box painted with image of a fox. A badger, some butterflies and plants. Very cheerful. Background is a Chester side street.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Was blessed with a crisp day and sunshine for my little exploration of Chester. Enjoyed walking on the Roman walls and seeing the architecture of the place. Run day again. Urgh. #StayBright
Black and white revival architecture building to mimic earlier buildings in Chester. Set against a bright blue sky.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Got out and ran yesterday despite not wanting too (as ever). Have to keep at it and rebuild my stamina. Was up early and off to visit Chester today. Never been before! #StayBright
Picture shows the Sun just above the horizon as it rises for the day. Silhouetted against the cold blue sky is an electricity pylon, a line of trees further away, and some teasels.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Bit mugged that the expensive primer filler I was recommended has made my newly scraped and sanded walls look like coarse sandpaper. Hmm. Taking a little break from DIY to regain sanity! #StayBright
Attempted ‘arty shot’. A row of brightly lit extricate car chargers in the darkness, as seen through a very very wet windscreen in the rain. Slight purple blue glow reflecting on the ground also distorted by window surface water

Good morning! How are you feeling? I have decided that whoever said “a bad workman blames his/her tools” has never tried doing DIY without a full suite of professional tools - like a dust extractor, for example. Anyway, got to keep at it. #StayBright
Brick wall painted in vivid colours to look like three arched window with yellow surrounds and a pink background.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Could this be the day the scraping ends and the primer filler coat goes on? Could it? Who knows, but that would be huge progress. My face and the PPE mask have not been getting along… #StayBright
Droplets of water and a large serrated edge leaf. Like little crystal balls!

Good morning! How are you feeling? I managed to get some waterproof paint off the wall yesterday. And all the gypsum plaster it was on. Hmm. In the long run it’s a good thing… must keep reminding myself of that! Breakfast in a sunbeam this morning. #StayBright
Blue and white bowl filled with yoghurt, mango, currants and nuts. Warmly lit by the sun. On a wooden table.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Been to the local wood shop to learn about wood to recreate old skirting boards. Might be getting closer to a solution. Huzzah. Another damp day when I’m due to run.. let’s see how good my self-discipline is! This sign made me smile. #StayBright
Sign on wall in toilet if pub which reads: “Do not vape in here. Fire alarm will go off and scare the pub dog”.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Really enjoyed Bengal Tiger and the Baghdad Zoo - thought-provoking and darkly comic. Would recommend. Space networking this evening which should be nice. #StayBright
Actors on stage to take their bows at the end of the show. The stage is stepped concrete platforms with a backdrop of damaged walls.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I didn’t manage to run yesterday, but did loads of scraping walls and filling gaps. Tiring! Off to see Bengal Tiger and the Baghdad Zoo this evening - sounds interesting! #StayBright (even if it’s raining!)

Good morning! How are you feeling? I was so focused yesterday that I missed Wordle and lost my streak. Argh. Good dance class last night, feeling it this morning! Finished the non-astronomically accurate orrery. #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? I managed to do a whole cryptic crossword on my own, so I’m feeling pleased with myself. Made a little bit more progress prepping the walls in living room, still a long way to go. Argh. Little by little I will get there. #StayBright
Completed cryptic crossword in a magazine
