Ms_F_Tutu

Keeping a low profile this afternoon, as my 3 day week is currently Tues ,Wed , Thurs, and I don't want them to remember that I won't be in again till Wednesday.
It may startle the higher ups into thinking maybe I should work Monday .

Watching the new Louis Theroux- Inside The Manosphere
I've muttered this year's supply of twats in the first 5 minutes.

This is lovely - and now I want a picture of James Mason with a cat in a cave.

I always feel v stupid as I reckon my pronunciation is bad , but yes , so much better than just talking straight at people loudly in English.

Otters , Octopus and Coelacanth ( the last one because when 5 year old me learnt that a fish thought extinct for 200 million years was found in the 1930s , I took it as proof there could be a T rex in a jungle somewhere and I was v happy ).

Started Greek on Duolingo, as while it could be a quite long time coming , myself and Bloke are planning on Athens as the next away trip . This is definitely going to put my meagre language learning skills to the test !
But I think it is always polite to at least attempt a few phrases.

Loads of out of commission tube stations with vintage posters , deep level WW2 shelters , walked many lines on the early hours . He doesn't believe in ghosts , but he says it's v spooky

My brother has actually been there when not open to the public as he worked for Thames Water and Waterflow for a few years . Don't hate him 😁 he was just incharge of maping drainage route cross sections with railways and tube stations . But he has seen some v cool stuff because of that ....

Wow , what a surprisingly great end to International Women's Day . Met a couple of mates and out of the blue our male friend insists on treating us to dinner , no dodgy motives , we've known him for years and he has a gf.
Plus any in planned crème brulé is a bonus

Very good
We were originally going to go in April , but when my bro went to book this morning it was sold out

So finally fulfilling one of my architectural must visits in May. Going over to the UK so myself and my bro can take his grandson to Crossness Pumping station.
It's one of their Steaming Days when you get picked up from Abbeywood on a classic Route master Bus and also ride the narrow gauge railway.

Torrential rain today , but still had a great visit to the aquarium here in Valencia, very impressive.
Now in our accommodation with the heating blasting in an attempt to dry our clothes and my phone camera has condensation in the lens, so no pictures.
I especially liked the green Moray eel.

*horchata

Yes it was fantastic

Myself with hair done in a rockabilly style curl, clutching a paper cup of horcharta and a bag of carton cakes

Paella checked off in previous pic, have now unlocked Valencia level 2 with horcharta and farton

A photo of me in front of a dish of paella,which forced perspective has made look enormous

Officially landed in Spain

My answer - Sandra Bullock, I just assumed nobody, especially a woman would pick the surname Bullock if seeking fame

Bloke's birthday, he picked Speed as the film of the night .
In fairness it's a good time ,saw it in the cinema.
Fun fact ,I once won a pub quiz on this question- what is Sandra Bullock's real name ?....

Collage of 2 pictures , close ups of the nails of my left and right hands , with rainbow shades as the french tips

Photo of a drawing by me of my nails with the tips coloured in with the colours I wanted

Prestige Nails did a fabulous job on my nails today . They were also v impressed with the handy chart I drew , said it saved loads of time working out exactly what colours I wanted in advance.

Me - Toy Story 5 is a bad idea , they can't keep milking it
Also me 2 and a half minutes later - wells up on the bus watching the trailer .

It's no exaggeration to say that this, the news that stinkbug eggs look exactly like a hape of creamy pints, is one of the most impactful things that's ever happened in the history of Irish posting. A dazzling event. A nuclear level revelation.

Just finished #smallprophets
It was every bit as lovely as I had been led to believe.

They were called something like Bruff Bombs , they were in loose packets (like a crisp bag ) , dinosaurs or unicorns was the choice . On a separate cardboard stand of their own in the one I was in, adjacent to the middle aisle.

My lack of access to a bath normally just leaves me a little p'd off that I can't have a soak when my sacrum is extra sore , but now I've just seen bath bombs in Aldi that contain dinosaur toys hidden in them , I am absolutely livid.

I just saw an article called surprising things you can put in your dishwasher and it didn't list Land rover engine parts anywhere, so my brother is using his completely wrong.

Well that was a weird one. I dreamt I was in Tangerine Dream and got arrested in India for spreading anti government propaganda. Dream and got arrested in India for spreading anti government propaganda.

Myself and 2 friends in Prague in 1996. One friend is leaning on a lampost . I am sporting wine tracksuit bottoms , an Atlanta jersey, a leather jacket and peroxide hair

Me on the underground in Prague , orange mini skirt, peach and brown 70s shirt and a combat jacket

Myself and friends looking a tad the worse for wear outside a bar

Myself and friends looking even the worse for wear outside a bar in Prague . I have zero recollection of the yellow , red and black 70s shirt I am wearing, but I do remember the mint green Jumbo corduroy flares I am wearing (but barely seen in the photo ) because I made them.

An old mate from long ago just got in touch and sent me more pics of when I sent to Prague in 1996 in their 1969 VW camper van after befriending them on the campsite I was living on in the Netherlands.
Good times !
