So far so good..

Today I am attending the first of six sessions of a Basic Tiling Course. No, I don’t know what possessed me either 😂

Five minutes into last night’s MAFS reunion and sorry, what Sacha?

I’ve saved 19p over the last three sessions by sitting in the dark for an hour with nothing electrical on. Not sure I can be arsed to opt in to this one 😂

I have another UNCLAIMED #buyastrangerabook day offer! @occasionalthoughts.bsky.social has sent me £10 to buy someone the book of their choice with. 'either for a child to lose themselves in a story, or an adult in need of a 'pick me up''. So if you have a book in mind, get in touch! UK only.

Has anyone been to see Rob Beckett’s show Giraffe? I could do with some info on the run time :)

Wasn’t it nice when the Sonos app just worked?

Teeth is tricky! There was a hint of the Tim Minchin with that Australian accent? #maskedsinger

Bush has to be Natalie Cassidy! #MaskedSinger

Give all the Oscars to The Traitors

Team Frankie

I’m just catching up but how the hell did Catherine and Naz get saved over Liv and Marcel? #LoveIsland

Who made this 🤣

'Robbed for her pleasure'

Random question: Do sheep in America say Maa not Baa?

I had 2.5 hours sleep last night out of a possible 7 and WHAT is that about?! Just in case I don’t make it, it was nice knowing you all 💀

I don’t want to age like Demi Moore, skinny and botoxed and beautiful and working her ass off and looking 40 at 62. I want to age like a Mediterranean man, wrinkling like a raisin and playing cards and drinking grappa all day with my friends in a bar that smells of salt and cigars.

Watching Celeb Hunted and it’s started in an area I know. The geography and timings are off and it’s shattering the illusion 😂 Also, if I could find a field to run around in like that which didn’t have a PRIVATE PROPERTY KEEP OUT sign on it, I’d be a very happy girl!

For many years I have been posting little observations online. What you may not know is that for many years, artists have been illustrating them - for no reason other than they wanted to respond. Below is a thread of some of these beautiful drawings because they should be seen 🧵

It turns out that Farage was right; foreigners were coming for his job.

At some point someone in the British government has to hit back at Musk. If he was just some rich guy, fine - whatever. Enjoy your drugs. But he is a leading figure in the incoming US administration. Is our policy now that foreign governments can speak this way about us without any consequence?

I'm so invested in #Traitors already Claudia: "Traitors!" Linda: ...

My eating habits over the last few days have been like constantly putting your phone onto charge even though it's still at 98% battery life.

To avoid automatically using AI in every Google search thanks to their no-one-asked-for-this AI summaries, you can type -ai or &udm=14 in the search terms. Or you can switch your default search engine (I switched to Duck Duck Go, which has the added benefit of being private).

Something from the fridge every time I go into the kitchen… slice of Gruyère, mini pork pie with a dollop of HP on top, a single grape for health, can of Appletise.. wonder what’s next?

My kids are fast asleep and I’m wide awake at 5am Merry Christmas lovely people, thanks for being here xx

I have made a #DuvetKnowItsChristmas bingo card! And done alt text on it (as everyone else should, if they're able).

If there were ever a #DuvetKnowItsChristmas theatre production, the set would look like this

people who say “why do we need [fine arts, humanities degrees, mid-budget films] when they don’t make a ton of money?” are insufferable. why do we need chrysanthemums? why do we need bonfires or baleen whales or the color blue? we just do. we just do.
