Good morning! How are you feeling? Took a break from painting last night for a quiz team reunion. We came second - not helped by my total inability to recognise famous people on the picture round! Run day again. Why is it always run day?! #StayBright
Looking through the bright green leaves of a spider plant, and a window, a blue tit can be seen on a rotted wooden window sill outside.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’ve just made use of the wonderful Forest Recycling Project to buy some good quality paint and save it from landfill. Cheaper for me, better for the environment - everyone’s a winner. Does mean I no longer have an excuse not to do the ceiling. :/ #StayBright
Old warehouse/factory style buildings whose fronts have all been painted in different patterns, with bunting stretching across the road. They are now microbreweries and a gin palace. Sky looking deliciously blue and there is a shadow from the pointy roofs of buildings on other side of road, complementing the points on the roofs on this side.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Very long day of non-stop caulking, painting and masking - but I’m very impressed with the progress and the quality of the sprayed finish. Woohoo! Today I have to face the horrid task of painting a ceiling. Yuck. And running. Double yuck! #StayBright
Window frame with newspaper masking the glass and looking (almost) like stained glass as the light shines through.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I have caulked so much my finger is sensitive today. Owch! Friend has come over with paint sprayer so might have a go at getting woodwork paint completed today - ooh! Lots of work yesterday followed by pizza and a beer. #StayBright
Large bay window wooden frame with undercoat of white paint on it. No carpet or wallpaper in the room.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Getting set for another mammoth day of painting intricate moulding on doors and window frame. Then I need to tackle the ceiling *gulp*. Eyes on the prize though - progress important. Had fun playing darts last night. Righto - let’s go! #StayBright
Dartboard with two darts in the outer bull and one in the 7. I’m not very good, but I am trying - and was pleased with this.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’ve been for my run and heading out for a double scan day (plus jigsaw time in-between) at cancer centre. Thinking of my NY friends today. Can you spot the fox in today’s pic? ? #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m back up and down ladders with a paint brush, to give myself a break from paint stripper fumes - bleh. Pondering if I am brave enough for a beginner solo jazz dance class this evening. Not sure I am… #StayBright
Lovely rich red stone, dark red, sitting atop a curvy white/cream stone on the beach. One of the rocks I’ve loved and left.

hate to be That Pedant, but we haven't cured cervical cancer. We've shown that we can reliably prevent it if you get the HPV jab early enough: older women are still getting and dying of cervical cancer, and younger women who don't have the jab will still be at risk of it.

People talk about curing cancer as if it was some sort of fantastical future goal.

We have cured cervical cancer. HPV vaccination reduces the cases to zero.
roleo.eurosky.social Roland Pierik @roleo.eurosky.social · 8d
The number of cases of cervical cancer reported in Scotland among women given the HPV vaccine at 12-13 years of age is now zero.

Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero.

Zero.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I feel like I broke my own rules with my message yesterday. I’m meant to send a positive message with some small beauty I’ve spotted in the world, but the varnish goo got the better of me. To explain, this progress has taken a week - but - progress. #StayBright
Collage of four images of a wooden door. First is very dark brown with paint caught in the panel architrave. Second is brown with some white showing through. Third shows signs of pine beneath dark varnish. Third shows almost stripped door, with thin layer of light varnish remaining in places.

Good morning! How are you feeling? The battle against the varnish from hell continues. Today has to be the day I win, surely? I’ve scraped off so much and there’s loads still to go. It’s like treacle! Just need to be patient and persistent I guess. #StayBright
Plastic tub with bits of brown sticky varnish that I’ve scraped of the door to give you an idea of the hell I’m dealing with. Some running down side of container.

Good morn-afternoon. I am confused why my earlier message didn’t post. Anyway - have found Victorian Varnish from Hell is an unforgiving opponent. In better news, serendipity yesterday saw me stumble on Lea Rowing Regatta in time to see my friend’s boat with their final! #StayBright

Huh. My morning message didn’t post. Lost in the ether. That’s annoying. I’ll try again now - apologies for the untimeliness!

Good morning! How are you feeling? Yesterday was a combination of dust, more dust, some gloopy melted varnish, scraping, filling, sanding and yet more dust. Then a run and shower to make me feel human again. Went to see The Dog Stars as it’s Nat. Cinema Weekend - cheap films! #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m dressed for a day of DIY and dust. Enjoyed one of the new recipes I made last week so had it again for tea last night. Lemon, honey, sesame chicken - yum! #StayBright
Hello bowl full of noodles sticky chicken pieces and stirfry vegetables. Blue chopsticks on the side.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Looking forward to being part of a patient participation group to discuss a new research study today. Not looking forward to many hours of sanding this weekend. Eyes on the prize though. #StayBright
9x9 square of lines of small pebbles. Arranged by colour. From dark grey, through white, yellow, orange, red and brown.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Looks a little drier out there today which is good for my run day. Got totally drenched the other day. Back to London and DIY fun this evening. Bringing a few choice rocks from the beach. #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? Bit drizzly here today, but I need to keep my step count up so I think I’ll brave the damp and go exploring. Any good ideas for family-friendly meals to cook? (That work for fussy teens?) #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? Run day here (joy of joys), but then might spend some time playing with the pretty stones I picked up on the beach. Also going to start a series of ‘stones I’ve loved and left (on the beach!)’. Heh. #StayBright

Ooh - look at this fascinating rock/crystal I found on Hornsea beach. I think it’s called a ‘dragon’s egg’ when complete - this one had been found and broken before I saw it. #RockHound
Image of rock that appears to be made of smaller sections of grey rock, with brown crystalline veins through it. My hand for scale. Another part of the parent rock - this time more of the crystalline brown than the grey. Held up against beach backdrop with sand and cloudy blue skies Larger chunk of the parent rock, with grey and brown crystalline sections. In a sandy beach.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I enjoyed a break in the rain and had a walk in cloudy sunshine on Hornsea beach. Found a ‘Devil’s toenail’, some belemnite pieces and a crinoid fossil. Last day here so off for another beach walk now. #StayBright
Image shows beach finds lined up on decking. Including a crab shell, some fossils, some lovely smooth yellow tone stones and a darker red stone.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I got up and went for a run by the sea (views like that definitely help with the tedium of running!). Scrambled egg on toast and next up is a bit of fossil hunting (and admiring pretty rocks on Hornsea beach!). #StayBright
View over the beach and some large rocks. Sea and grey cloudy skies with hints that the sun is behind them.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Off for a day out in Hull. Never been to Hull before, so nice to explore somewhere new. Any hot tips from people who know the place? Paragon Arcade is quite fancy! #StayBright
Photo of Paragon Arcade from across the street. It’s a red brick building with stone accents. A tall arch in the middle reaches right the way through and a small shopping arcade with old style lanterns goes through the building.

Good morning! How are you feeling? There was rain up north yesterday - lots and lots of rain! That gave me an excuse not to run, but I really should get out today before we set off for Hornsea for the weekend. Nice to be away from sanding and dust! #StayBright
