It's my birthday today! Yay! I am also ill which feels like a quintessential late 30s birthday tbh 😂

£170! Amazing! Thank you everyone!

We are currently at £119! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, it means the world to me!

Oh wow the fundraiser is at £99 now!!! Amazing work everyone!

I made two terrible cups of tea today. Just absolutely shocking tea scenes.

It's my birthday on Saturday! 🎂 I'm raising money for Refuge and aiming for £100. We are at £33 so far! If you'd buy me a birthday pint, please consider donating the money instead 🙏 Even one quid would be greatly appreciated! www.facebook.com/donate/21144... ig.me/1TGqOC3ZjGyj...

For my birthday (13th June) every year I raise money for Refuge UK. Instead of a birthday pint or gift, please consider donating the money to Refuge instead. Refuge is a charity which is very close to my heart, and if you donate even just £1 I would be enormously grateful 🙏 ig.me/1TGqOC3ZjGyj...

it's world frog day so here is one of my favorite medieval frogs, from BNF fr. 22532, folio 311r (pleasingly shaped):

I accidentally brewed a tea for 20 minutes. I think I've added enough oat milk to counterbalance the over brewing. *dramatic music*
