Not now, broken central heating thermostat 😫

BareMinerals liquid concealer or Merit Minimalist complexion stick. Both a bit spendy, sorry, but last forever and don't settle in wrinkles or smudge mascara.

Bedding yesterday. Two loads today. Towels then summer duvet and mattress cover. Triple threat.

Potentially the last line drying day of the year and it's a doozy *holds finger to ear* I'm told that's pronounced "duvet"

Totally feeling this. Some months, I barely make enough to pay my bills. Doing job applications and my tax return isn't how I really wanted to spend my weekend.

First bath of the season 🛁🥳 Used a Lush bath bomb, so now there's a waft of patchouli about the place and half a forest floor in the tub

I can still smell that!

In case you were in need of a Proustian rush, I used actual carbon paper in an art class today.

And here's that oh-so-flattering accidental selfie, too

I deleted my previous aurora post thinking it was unlikely that's what I'd seen, but it turns out I was right.

Your periodic reminder, should you need it: Birds Are Dinosaurs.

*absolute 🙄

This is absolutely glorious. Even if you're not super into dinosaurs, it's an absolutely masterclass in animation, colouring and wordless storytelling.

Feeling needlessly smug for eating a pear off the tree in my garden, despite having contributed absolutely zero to its planting and nurturing beyond chucking a couple of bowls of washing up water over its roots during the drought.

@berryh.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 3:31 PM

Just tested the heating. Y'know, for when I actually need it. Which I don't yet, obviously. It's only down to 17°C indoors. Jumper and socks; maybe break out the autumn-weight duvet at the weekend.

Blazer description: "Sleek single-breasted jacket in a hip length that pairs well with voluminous bottoms." Should suit me, then 🍑

If you're at an event where they're serving dinner but somehow your net worth is insufficient to get invited to said dinner, hang around long enough to see who doesn't show. The organisers will be delighted you filled a space. Hashtag Berry's povvo tips
