A successful beard trim. My moustache looks particularly perky.
Painting a room. Something anyone can do, or get a ‘proper person’ in? I’m clumsy, I’m impatient and despite giving the impression of being utterly manly, I’m generally bad at stuff like this.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of having a dog is aiming passive aggressive asides when one’s significant other is just within earshot. ‘Oh, the recycling is overflowing again - I suppose it’ll be left to muggins here to empty it all out.’
It’s great having my son home from university. The conversations we have!

Treated myself to some Nanoleaf lightstrips, but they don’t have the U.K./Irish plug with it. Because I’m in the E.U. and that’s the store I was forwarded to, it’s an E.U. plug I get. Not the case with the Shapes order I already received. Seems utterly stupid.
Procrastination is incredibly time-consuming.
Had a manly morning buying windscreen wipers and then washing my car. I hate stereotypically ’male’ spaces, particularly when it has to do with cars as I generally feel totally out of my depth and awkward. So well done, Benji.
Still decluttering. I have a Kilner jar problem, even though I haven’t bought one for years. One is never fully recovered, the urge lies there dormant.
Turns out IKEA isn’t the place to head for relaxing ‘me’ time.
I’m a dog person, but just made friends with a lovely ginger cat at the garden centre.
Does anyone subscribe to MasterClass? Is it worth the money?
Twenty-two years married today.
We’re getting the kitchen cupboards repainted and everything is in boxes. I can’t find the marmite, nor the peanut rayu, so I’ve just had plain toast like a common guttersnipe.
Kind of tempted to box it all up, stick it in the attic and leave it to future me to sort out.
Seems almost odd to go through my old DVD collection as I’m decluttering. The large majority of it is on streaming services, it’s just taking up space and has no resale value. I don’t know if charity shops will be grateful or not. How times change.
Got some samples for my increasingly disappointing Nespresso machine. Can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that caramel espresso tastes as terrible as it sounds. Doesn’t taste like espresso, doesn’t taste like caramel. Makes my face contort like I’ve stubbed a toe. Can’t wait to try the other flavoured pods!
Fairly sure I didn’t ever have a mojito when I was drinking, but this is a gorgeous tasting alcohol-free tipple.

Just decluttered my dongle drawer. 💻😐
Ordered myself a new meditation cushion set. I plan on turning my back room, with writing nook, into a more peaceful space. Was planning on getting a massive telly there, but I think the last thing most houses need is another television. 🧘🏻
Every now and again my anxious, trauma infused lurcher will have a little wobble and sit in the garden, refusing to come in. He did this often when we first adopted him and it generally ended up with him running away and hiding for a while. Anyway, he sat, he rummaged and came back this morning. 🐕
