2025: In Pictures

Index

31 August 2025: Jaffa Treat
Noirin made a delightful jaffa cake dessert.

30 August 2025: Boo
Cute, but not close enough to Halloween to be an acceptable item to see in a shop.

29 August 2025: Smudge
I guess I'm no good at those ink blot things because it look me a long time to realise this is a genie and not just a random smudge.

28 August 2025: Sue's Birthday
We went to Lezzet to celebrate Auntie Sue's birthday and of course she got the special treatment.

27 August 2025: Poem
I zoomed in so the name on the bottom was cut off. Sorry.

26 August 2025: Water Shoes
When Noirin said she was buying water shoes I thought she meant jelly sandals, but apparently it was these.

25 August 2025: Newcastle 2-3 Liverpool
Newcastle fought back bravely but it ended in defeat.

24 August 2025: Clothes Audit
It's been a while since I had a good clearout. Two bags for charity, one for the bin.

23 August 2025: Warden Walk
I went for a walk with Kat and Aidan in the Warden and Fourstones area.

22 August 2025: Bite Into Happy
Would it still be happy once I've bitten into it?

21 August 2025: Slug
He's not inside the house so I'm leaving him to chill here.

20 August 2025: Happy NN
I have no idea what this signifies but I like the happy face.

19 August 2025: Kicking the Can
I'd be less interested in football if it featured people booting paint cans all over the place.

18 August 2025: Mainstream Music
I don't actually think I could name enough mainstream music to decide whether I agree with this or not.

17 August 2025: Garden Party
We gathered in Mam's garden to celebrate Skye's 3rd birthday which meant lots of fun outside activities.

16 August 2025: Carp Side
This was so cute I couldn't resist.

15 August 2025: Lobster
I was a little surprised when Noirin returned home from visiting a friend with a cooked lobster in tow, but I've learned not to question such things. We had a nice lobster salad for tea.

14 August 2025: Kyoto Shorts
I ordered these shorts a while ago and they have eventually been delivered. They're super comfy.

13 August 2025: Pointing
I came downstairs this morning to see Sally essentially pointing at her empty food bowl from above.

12 August 2025: Storage
Jumpers are currently packed away until winter.

11 August 2025: Yoghurt Explosion
My yoghurt exploded in my bag on the way to work so naturally I closed my bag and did nothing to help the situation until I got home.

10 August 2025: Sunny Field
I love the view of sunlight on tall crops.

9 August 2025: Barter Books
Some may say I went overboard in Barter Books, but I'd say this is a pretty reasonable number of books.

8 August 2025: Flowery Shirt
This was less than a tenner in the Matalan sale. I was never going to say no.

7 August 2025: Serenity
I like that this serenity prayer wristband also includes trees.

6 August 2025: Phone Box
There are still plenty of these dotted round town. I couldn't tell you when I last saw one in use.

5 August 2025: Forth Banks
Perfectly pleasant to walk down, not so enjoyable on the way back up.

4 August 2025: Black Belt
I really like the woven belt I got recently so I've bought a similar one in black.

3 August 2025: Beware
He looks pretty grumpy. I'll stay away.

2 August 2025: Collagen Mask
A perfectly normal Saturday night with collagen face masks and shark blankets.

1 August 2025: Cladding
We've had the cladding replaced on the outside of our house, which looks a lot better.
