When your yoga teacher gets totally on board with a Smiths-soundtracked yoga session. Such fun! 😍 And just as this has dropped on BBC Sounds: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/serie... #TheSmiths #IndieForever #AlternativeMusic #6Music

If you're partial to a sad song (like me), this is for you. Hauntingly beautiful ❤️ #NewMusic #6Music

Heart goes out to a fellow AML traveller 🫶 Great interview in NME, although I'm impressed he could create an album in the hellscape of AML treatment ❤️ share.google/c62QfzeSrvgn... @laurenlaverne.bsky.social

@laurenlaverne.bsky.social 6 Music nailed it this morning with a 6 of the best playlist - GRUNGE FOREVER! 🎸

Oh thank goodness. I'm missing these guys already ❤️ Excellent writing from Tina Fey 👌

Hmmm. Is it good or bad luck to see a raven? I recently heard a tawny owl, another harbinger of doom. What are the 'good luck' birds? I need to seek some out 🤔🦉 #addBirder 🪶 #ukbirds #birds

Relaxing on the eve of my stem cell transplant 1st anniversary and this came on the radio! Dan Tiernan sharing his sister's leukaemia journey and how he was a perfect donor match. Brought a tear to my eye 🥰 www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

What a beautiful #springequinox it's been 🌿🐇🐝 This little fella had plenty to say about it 🎶 #birdsong #birds

If you’re reading this you should take the rest of the day off and spend it with your book ❤️

No surprise - literary / historical fiction. Someone very dear to me is trying to get me into fantasy / romantasy. Faeries with an 'ae' makes my skin itch. It's not happening. #booksky

What a gorgeous song ❤️❤️❤️ A lot going on in the video though 🤔 NSFW 😬 youtube.com/watch?v=U1sf...

#Severance So much to unpack in this one. What the... Irv! 🫶🏼 Helly / Helena 😯 Mark S - is he in or out? WHAT ABOUT THE GOATS AND PEASANTS? 😯 (I've definitely been on an ORTBO - it was in Sherwood Forest 🏹)

Hats off to the creators of #Severance 👏🏼 Every single episode is an insane rollercoaster. Who the hell dreamt up the MDE? Egg Bar? WAFFLE PARTY? 😯 Absolute gripping genius. Fairly sure I've worked at Lumon.

The weather didn't get my memo about #BigGardenBirdwatch @rspb.bsky.social Nothing but pigeons in this rain. Frustrating as we have had robins, redwings, tits, finches, etc in recent days. Still, who doesn't love a clumsy big pigeon flapping around in their garden? ❤️

Rise and shine, it's the final day of #BigGardenBirdwatch! Remember, you can still take part even if you haven't signed up. Help us spread the word: share this post, text someone, or tell the whole table over your Sunday roast. The more data we get, the better 🧑‍🔬

This year's Christmas cake - a 'white' fruit cake from a 1970s Family Circle magazine, via my mother-in-law. It is LUSH! Decoration inspired by @nigella.bsky.social - although I feel it's missing some bacon... #ChristmasBaking

Controversial - I think I prefer this version to the original 😬😮🫣 open.spotify.com/track/4Cm4dy...
