Ever have a family saying that you don’t know the origin is, and then one night you’re watching an old film that just happens to be on tv and one of the characters just says: Fuzzy Wuzzy was a woman. No? Just me?

Getting a dopamine playlist together. Songs that break through even the foulest of moods and get me bopping. Just added this. Suggestions for others welcome and I’ll put them to the test(o)

I would like to know less about America

A voyage through the Tupperware catalogue from late 1978 🧵 #speirgorm

I’ve been fixing up my mam’s old suitcase. She kept her dress design notes from the Grafton Academy in 1970-1971 in it along with her kit from her time as a Tupperware party host in 1978.

My firstborn is on his first school trip abroad. I’m being really good and only texting him about 5 times a day and not the 100 I would like to.

i’ve been managing one evening a night at aqua aerobics, which i have been attending for almost eighteen months, bar c-section recovery. i hid my pregnancy from the vast majority of my social circle, but couldn’t hide it there, with my swim friends, all women over sixty.

I set about replacing the 20 year old electric shower on our bathroom over the weekend. My top tip to folks doing the same is that the valve in the hot press may not turn off the shower supply like it does with the taps. ⛲️ Turn off the mains and empty the attic tank before you unscrew anything. 🌊

My occasional reminder (but first on BlueSky) that trans and non-binary folk are more than welcome in my books and in my life. I meet so many of you at events, you gorgeous things, and in these terrible transphobic times, you’ve got a friend here. ❤️❤️

Guys, does anyone have a link to the thing that mutes posts with twitter screen grabs in them? Losing the will to live over here.
