I like baking, history, science and sleeping.
Favourite season is autumn. I'd rather have pudding than a starter.

One for @urbanprehistorian.bsky.social - I was reading this morning about the Asda 'Price Promise' stones that were erected across the country in the 90s

Some are definitely on the way to being archaeological monuments, such as this one in Trumfleet, South Yorkshire

![A stone that looks like a prehistoric standing stone but inscribed with "Asda Price Promise Permanently [text obscured] prices [text obscured].
The stone is by a Drystone wall and vegetation grows around it](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7mzhk55756kcluyutorbqyex/bafkreicxukeks37aqp6tgtzj2hlbvjgtxc5syw4ptr6nnojxhazlrfwflq@jpeg)

Been to see Fantastic Four. We all enjoyed it. Not often the kids all want to see the same film , so was nice to have something we all could watch.

Driving home through Southwell, and it was just so pretty, pastel coloured, slightly misty sky, lush green trees and rolling fields. Golden hour makes everything look good.

The plumber is here to fix the toilet. I have no idea what to do with myself. I've made him a cup of tea and now I am hiding in the living room. Why am I so socially awkward.

Weird light flying over the house. Thought it was the moon behind a cloud until it started moving. Apparently it's a rocket venting fuel. Very cool.

Daughter is on a trip to a local university today. She's pretty sure she does not want to go to Uni. She doesn't want the debt.
It's so sad that at (nearly) 15 she finds this the main reason not to go.
