Guess, who we saw on the way home? On one of his favourite broken paving stones, guardian of the postbox, Fergus. by @sarahmccartneythinks

This is Fergus. He lives close to us and we pass him on the way to work. He likes to sit on things.
Fergus found a box.

I'm curious to know why Instagram is refusing to publish this photo of a rose which I passed on the way to work.
It smelled of fruit chews. I'm trying again.
I suspect IG has decided that the rose is not real, as it told me that I have to tick a box about "realistic photos made with AI". Can we remove the "istic"?
OK let's go. Fingers crossed.

This weekend I shall be darning my winter woollies, and to be fair I do think they look better customised.
(The spellcheck didn't know the word darning and wants to change it to dawning, darling or warning.)

Floating in Space, continuing yesterday's theme today I wore my ultimate calm-down fragrance, not yet launched, which I made with lashings of linden, rose, elderflower, broom, sugiwood and barley.
I don't normally use it on work days because it's too relaxing but today I woke up from a busy dream in which I was Napoleon Bonaparte trying to escape from something or other with an army that kept going the wrong way and ignoring my orders. I can't promise it will work for everyone, but it gets me ready for the day when I wake up bamboozled.
I've given up making straight perfumes. Let's face it, these are spells. by @sarahmccartneythinks

This is our Hammersmith spaceman. He rises and descends, and this evening the light was perfect for him, and his reflected friend.

Coffee! It's back! Element returns, with more room and the same superb quality coffee. We survived on their beans at home and at work but this is better.

Outstanding avocado toast with Scottish smoked salmon and poached eggs at @sebsurbanjungle
The dill tassels reminded me a little of @hobtempestrose - can't think why 🤔

To Stockbridge on a successful fountain pen hunt at @thewritestuffstockbridge - more to follow on this.

Realising that I could open my front room as a shop, if my front room were in Stockbridge.

Bert in his box, back in Cupar.

I do not intend to explain this.
