Sneaked over the border to Scotland nine years ago. Retired from schools were I did drama and encouraged play in kids. Went to drama school but got the fear. Walking, colouring my home, writing short stories and gardening when I can. Love food and gin.

Left overs for tea. Cooked for 5 people at the weekend but seem to have enough left for 15.

Had the family for dinner yesterday at our new apartment .Told our daughter we have paid the debt off on her flat we financed due to her never being able to get a mortgage on her earnings . The look on her face was priceless. #downsizing #bankofmumanddad

Going ‘out out’. This probably means I will be looking to go home to my bed at 9.30pm. #celebratinggoodnews

Best post box view

You have been murdered, who do you want on the case?

Things I worried about when I was 8 years old in East London : getting Rabies, nuclear war, Brown Owl at Brownies scary stare, The Daleks, Enoch Powell and Lord Lucan murdering my family. #anxietywasreal

Just watching #katebush on @topofthepops1.bsky.social sublime ❤️

He is a keeper! #homemadecurry ❤️

When a recipe for spinach saag requires 4 bags and it will reduce to a mere handful after 2 minutes of cooking 🙄.

Working from home going well.

He doesn’t really strike me as being ‘outdoorsy’

Doing a bit of shoulder rocking in the car to Edwin Starr’s tune ‘contact’ in a traffic jam and I look across to see a guy doing the same in the next lane.

Watching Abba programme on @bbc4 and keep thinking how much Benny looks like Smithy in #Gavinandstacey

A double rainbow on a lovely walk.

View from my new bedroom (need to get some blinds) 17 boxes left to unpack #downsizing #brandnewhome

Bye bye Trinity Edinburgh. Now homeless while waiting for money to transfer on house sale and purchase.

Keeping the removal men fuelled #caffeine

Trying to sort out the keys for various doors to leave for our new buyers. I don’t remember at least a half of these and now beginning to wonder if I have the keys to some quiz show or jail. #dealornodeal #lockedup

Don’t think my husband was impressed when I had a cut through the pocket of his puffa jacket with scissors to get to his wallet as zip was stuck.

Two men called 2 Man Dispatch braved absolute horrid weather from Northampton and delivered our furniture from @futoncompany to Edinburgh today. They were absolute stars.

It’s a day for big knickers and a cardigan in Scotland. #stormeowyn

Having to drive our son to his job at the hospital because there are no buses! #scary

It feels like a Friday night here as nobody is going to work tomorrow in Scotland unless it’s essential. #keepsafe #stormeoywn

Big alarm has just gone off from my phone with a message from Scottish government. Bugger 😱😱😱😱

Ffs bloody American weather giving us bad winds. Who do I complain to?

Yesterday we signed all the paperwork to sell our house and move to our brand new apartment end of next week. The Scottish system of buying and selling a home is so much easier than England. Sorting out the utilities is so much worse!!!!

Post a female character you love

That’s who Francesca in @thetraitors reminds me of.
