I've decided that whenever I meet a new person, I'm going to ask them one question before anything else: What do you love? I am not looking for the usual ("my children", "my spouse", "my life"). I'm looking for the stuff that has you standing naked sobbing in a dark kitchen when you think about it.

The next time someone rudely asks me why my husband and I don't have kids, I'm going to explain at length that it's because we practice different religions. I mean, he'd want to name them after Man United legends, whereas I'd fight to the death to name them after members of Westlife.

Still married!

It's clearly pre-season when I'm feeling awkward about not supporting the team in white. #LUFC v. #MUFC

Watching the #LUFC v. #MUFC match on MUTV with my Manchester United-loving husband. They just played a segment where the presenter handed Cunha his new #10 shirt, and it was a totally Dobby moment. ("Oh, thank you, Master! Now Dobby is a FREEEE elf!)

Lovely to see the Manchester United players spending time with some disadvantaged orphans before the big match. Heartbreaking to see those little sad faces with no hope, said Bradley, aged 6.

Today is the anniversary of my first date with my now-husband, @brianwcastner.bsky.social. Thank you so much for asking me out again! I love you!

Happy Birthday to my Lub, my husband, my playmate, my partner in crime, @brianwcastner.bsky.social. May your day be joyous and the years ahead even more so! I love you! ❤️

Found this over the weekend, reissued on red and blue vinyl. Sublime perfection. Yes, Paddy had a bit of an Elvis problem, but for me, this is so much more than that. I listen with amazement, even 35 years later.

Just wanted to share one of the tiny wonders to enter my life this year. I'm not a Tolkien fan girl by any means, but man, he loved his children. As we enter 2025, in all of this chaos, I hope we all remember to make life magical for those we love.

Here's hoping Leeds can handle a foggy Thursday night in Stoke!

On a business trip and missing my beautiful husband today...

First post. Just finished this book...three amazing stories. Loved every word, and I don't swim. Anyone else read anything like this?
