Love a good rainbow after a storm

I ran up hills tonight just so I could have another cappuccino teacake. And because I’m old and have a lot of people to prove wrong in life. Was worth it. My knees hurt but I might actually sleep tonight 🥳

One thing I’ve learned in 30 years of working with people is that nose blindness really is a thing. I really am a super smeller and taster too which doesn’t help

Oh my. Cappuccino teacake from M&S 😍👌🏻Almost as good as a violet one had in Edinburgh from Goodfellow and Stevens (I still dream of these being available by mail order)

When I get a new follower

Can everyone please stop excusing the US president by saying that he has dementia. He's always been like this. It's not dementia. He's a deluded, arrogant, nepo baby, chock full of Dunning Kruger degrees of self-belief and deep rooted stupidity and rich and influential enough to get away with it

Right, my hypermobile friends! Talk to me about NHS knee braces, please. I have a standard metal hinged wrap around fabric/velcro number. My skin is not loving it, even with a sleeve. Fingersfind the Velcro tough. Anyone managed to get an open metal ligament brace from nhs orthotics? #EDS

Instead of working a late night, I walked here. Financial wealth vs mental health. Work still managed to ring on my walk even though I’ve left FFS 🙄😂

Feel like I needed to bleach my brain by standing in the garden and admiring a bit of nature after seeing a few clips to confirm the orange one did indeed still walk amongst us 🙄 The daffs are looking lovely anyway

Watching #DublinMurders and hope this all makes sense at some point as right now it feels very surreal half way through

A different perspective. Always helpful.

Finally finished Traitors US. My daughter has introduced me to the phrase of someone having a good ‘face card’ rather than my old fashioned description of them as hamdsome 🤣 I feel about 100

Oh my, Cornish Bakery discovered in Lincoln. Just had the best raspberry and almond croissant 🥐 😍 Lincoln is rapidly improving it’s foodie selection

We must be approaching exam season - 350 copies of my book were sold last month! If you know a neurodivergent young person there are plenty of revision tips, as well as general study skills strategies, to be found in here. www.waterstones.com/book/a-study... Also available on Amazon, Foyles etc.

Doing a GA list on a two finger kitkat is not proper grown up behaviour. I never learn to be prepared

I’m not a violent person but how people refrain from smacking the orange clown’s face into the nearest hard object when he speaks or just smothering him, I do not know.

I had some cryotherapy today. I know am sporting something akin to one of those freeze dried sweets on my neck until it apparently drops off in a few weeks. Which is nice

I finally handed my notice in on my second job. Roll on April when I will no longer dread Tuesdays nor will I need to plan weekends to avoid my working ones. I will also be sorely skint but we’ll gloss over that part

Can someone inform the dog I need a lie in tomorrow please?

Please may I stay at home at watch The Pitt today rather than working? I’m just so very tired 😴

Apropos of nadda, it’s the dog’s birthday so a good excuse for a photo of the handsome, lazy one. 5 today 🥳

This is the level of bonkers nonsense I need right now

It’s a small victory but I went a whole night without having to take migraine meds at 3am. Still don’t like the topiramate though 🤢

Never been a big Elvis fan but watched Epic tonight at cinema and think Baz Luhrman has made me see a bit of what the fuss was around him

When your car is more optimistic about your destination than you are

What a hateful bag of wind this man is. Misogyny oozes out of him 😡

I *think* I’ve decided to give my sanity a chance and drop my second job. I need your best life tips for obvious ways to economise beyond donating body parts

One more day until I am forced to return to real life. Ho hum. Been right nice here in the mountains

Please choose people who choose and make time for you.

If you know someone who might need a little encouragement today, please make sure you give it to them.

Hey Bluepals. Today I launched a Crowdfunder with the amazing @gracequantock.bsky.social The aim is to get Grace's book "Living Well with Chronic Illness" into health centres across the UK. Please share / support this. I'd really appreciate this. Ta. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/86e1e73e29...

I ran around a reservoir tonight. I don’t know who I am anymore. I make my friend do the Strava thing so I can pretend to be uninterested in the stats 😬😉

Oh Love is Blind France you have made me cry 😍 Need to see the reunion now. I’m pretending this is beneficial for my French studies 🇫🇷

Back watching #MAFSUK again and for reference Welsh rugby playing types are absolutely my type 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 If anyone knows any 50 something single varieties of this genre 😂😍

Oooo there’s a ‘cosmetic’ dentist on #MAFSUK does that mean I can argue I’m watching for professional reasons? Rather than I have zero taste or standards in TV viewing

Have a cute dog pic for now

Been MIA for a few months working on me. Back running after a long break so expect some dullness around how slow I am 😂 Had a brief look on X and can’t believe what a hellhole that’s become so will be firmly ensconced here. What have I missed?

So pleased I saw this thread as read this article hoping for inspo for nephew’s wedding next month and was worried I was somewhat out of touch 😂

Watching a really interesting program on Parole on #iplayer Worth a watch if you like those police procedural type of things

This sums the whole situation up quite nicely.

Embarassed to be in Lincolnshire at the minute

Looking for a dress for a wedding. My word how non inclusive are the models for Boden? And yes, I realise that is a middle class mum comment

This cause is close to my heart - please sign: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

Back up in the loft and look in the place they absolutely CANNOT be. You’ve guess it reader ….

Ok, I give up. Where did I put my ski helmet so it was safe? FFS why do I always do this? Foing to get a massive box and write ‘SKI’ on it in the loft See also: Christmas decorations -camping gear 🙄

Love is Blind Sweden is far superior to U.S or U.K versions. Nice to see some body inclusivity

If you haven’t watched Adolescence yet, do. The young actor in it is outstandingly good

I’ll apologise now but I am likely to get overly invested in #MAFSAU I know it’s pure panto but I love it 😍

Is it Monday again? This working extra sessions lark is wearing thin. Not had a full weekend off since December 🙄 Roll on end of financial year
