  • The bed in my hotel room tonight is made up for not one, not two, but three occupants. Did they... see me and instantly clock me as polyamorous?

  • That moment when you realise that you forgot your sunglasses but figure you'll just squint.

  • A traffic cone sits atop a diving board at an outdoor swimming pool.

    Taking A Dive

    I had a second submission accepted to Curious Cones, one of the most-wonderful but also silly blogs I follow. But my third attempt came out blurry and didn't make it to the blog; ah well.

  • Dad Joke of the Day came to me early when some fellow dog walkers coming the other way said "Hello, gorgeous!"

    "Ooh, thank you!" I replied, nonchalantly tussling my hair and striking a coquetteish pose.

  • How kind of the humans who constructed this sofa to leave a perfect dog-shaped nest in-between the cushions. Our pupper is appreciative.

    Full image of A satisfied but sleepy-looking fawn-coloured French Bulldog lies on a blanket that's slipping into the crack between two sofa seat cushions, forming a nest around her torso. Her legs hang, crossed, off the front of the sofa.

  • A partially-submerged traffic cone sits in a large puddle in a rural field.

    Hurrah! I just made my first successful submission to Curious Cones, a weblog collecting photographs of traffic cones spotted in unusual places.

  • A white man with a goatee lies on his back on a floor. A French Bulldog lies on his chest, looking at him.

    Dog tired

    Today was a long day. Between commuting (the kids to school from our distant flood-evacuation accommodation), work, childcare, insurance wrangling etc., I was pretty tired when I got back "home". So I came in and lay on the floor.

    At which point the dog decided I was a pillow.

    Curious Cones

  • Bitterly cold and starkly beautiful, this morning: West Oxfordshire is blanketed in an impenetrably thick freezing fog.

    It's quite pretty, though I'm regretting not bringing my gloves out with me!
