Just watched a film called Nonnas on Netflix. I recommend if you want something comforting and feel good with a gentle humour.

This week's #SundayPix is Birthday, as its my youngest's birthday! Hubby has just put up bunting & balloons. The hashtag will be #SundayPixBirthday

Declan Rice really is a special football player. He has been everywhere in this game.

I've got a mash-up of Wham and Scissor Sisters going round in my head. I really don't not feel like dancing #lurgy

For me there is nothing more soothing to the soul than a brightly lit day by the sea. #SundayPixLight

I do love blue lighting. #SundayPixLight

I couldn't afford it either but I want it #SundayPixLight

How gorgeous though maybe a little over the top for my house ##SundayPixLight

It's #SundayPixLight this week so spoil us with your shining photos and glowing ALT descriptions.

Macclesfield have scored again! I love the early rounds of the FA Cup.

I have slightly more volume, and slightly fewer squeaks in my voice today but I am absolutely fed up of my tickly cough though #WinterBlues

Early warning time for #SundayPix Today is bright and sunny but so much of the winter is grey and dull, and we need light. It could be natural, artificial, or your favourite lampshade, just brighten everyone's day please. Use #SundayPixLight

So very much this.

There's a big gang of us on here who need to hug ourselves tightly today and to thank @wombat37.bsky.social for bringing us together. @littlemavis.bsky.social and family I'm also sending you all my support and love, and will be with you in spirit.

It is very quiet here as I have laryngitis. I am feeling a little better today after a couple of days of feeling "proper poorly" as my Nanna would say, but the wavering croak, squeak, and baritone I am left with is most disconcerting.

That's Root's century so I had better get to bed #TheAshes

A huge undertaking which Michael performed so wonderfully was #Twanta. I still had these three photos on my phone and they serve as examples of the many acts of generosity he inspired. #SundayPixWobjects

Yes please do this.

Football. Michael always remembered my team and we shared the highs and lows of lower league football. #SundayPixWobjects

Today's brooch. I haven't got an ice-skating version which would be more appropriate for here.

Today's brooches although we only have enough snow here to make a snowmouse.

I have January inertia which I have learnt not to fight as long as essentials get done. Resisting that inertia is exhausting and I have to manage my wherewithall. I need to get dressed and sort a bed and dinner for visiting son. This activity is essential and leads to something lovely.

I am very tired but it serves me right for watching music appearances at the BBC from 1988. I got sucked in by Respect by Erasure and finally retired at 03.00 Also a reminder of how pretty Terence Trent D'Arby was. This became my bedtime earworm.

Compassionate so I think just the once will do.

Today's brooch theme is cold 🥶

We managed to almost hit Midnight in sync with When Harry Met Sally, and what's a few seconds between friends. Great film, and a lovely way to spend a quiet new year.

Almost time to watch When Harry Met Sally.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year and I hope that 2026 will deliver everything that you need. I am also reminding you that this is deepest, darkest winter and should therefore be a time of nurturing yourself. Those of you in sunny climes please don't gloat, we need all the comfort we can get. 🥰

New Year in Las Vegas #SundayPixFestival

Halloween in Chicago #SundayPixFestival

A relatively quiet day today pleasingly. Yesterday with the oldies was entertaining and exhausting, and I spent much of it thinking "did they really just say that" 🤔

I am drinking mead. I think it must be Christmas.

I had better stir my stumps and get as far as the kitchen. I have to serve dinner six hours earlier than I normally do as we have three guests coming with an age range of 79 to 89. One of them, who we haven't met, is a coeliac so thank goodness for my professional knowledge.

We have eaten the most delicious fish pie and now catching up with Strictly whilst drinking pink fizz. Tomorrow will be more traditional with family but today has been glorious indulgence for two.

On-call OH has just been called out!

Merry Christmas Bluesky. Max is wearing his Christmas jimjams to spread some seasonal joy.

It's definitely christmas, we have moved onto Die Hard.

Merry Christmas mum of @curiousiguana.bsky.social

It must be Christmas. I am watching The Holiday and have a mild feeling of panic 🎄

I say it every time but I don't like penalty shoot-outs.

How I'm arriving at the Bluesky Christmas Party.

This year on Bluesky I wrote 602 posts and 795 replies. I received 2,472 likes, whereas 55 was from my most popular post, and apparently I love saying "its" and 🟩! www.madebyolof.com/bluesky-wrap...

Just back from a couple of nights away to see Chatsworth at Christmas. The theme is Enchanted Garden this year and it was so beautiful, I think my favourite yet.
