I would simply throw a silver-threaded blanket over the haunted mirror that Tony Blair comes from and ring it with salt so that he can no longer communicate with our realm

In celebration of both World Dracula Day and Peter Cushing's birthday. 🧛

Newsflash: it’s too hot to work.

Finished a book and started another today - lovely stuff.

I hate suntan cream so cloying and sticky.

This is not news: Bride weds in dressing gown, slippers and rollers as 'it's what married life is like' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Saw some lovely rhododendrons, now to do as little as possible.

Twenty Thousand Streets under the Sky, The Talented Mr Ripley, We have always lived in the castle.

Still no postal vote…

Right I am giving up for the day as I am losing the will to live. I have tidied everything, hoovered and wiped floor. But still there’s stuff to do. #choresneverend

Bedclothes, bathroom, hob filters and some balcony gardening done. Wilting a bit now but onward.

Today is the designated chore day of the bank holiday weekend and I am going to relish the sense of accomplishment that brings.

Postal vote still not arrived. Phoned yesterday but they said it should still come. Chase them on Tuesday I suppose. #ukelections

My best friends when I tell them about something I quite like:

Just bought some concert tickets and £11 in various fees. Why are we paying a transaction fee, booking fee and a facility fee in this day and age?

Showed this to a group of forty something friends and they were not happy.

Is anyone else having really bad hayfever symptoms? I have lost my voice which has not happened before…I don’t think I am ill, very odd.

Survived first day back after leave.

Sad times, I had to buy my own flattened Easter Egg, I remember the days as a kid I could end up with 4 or 5 of them from relatives. 😭

Hard agree on this, bane of my life: youtube.com/shorts/Ob6Tq...

Watched Together tonight and oh my god I am not normally squeamish but 🤮 #film

"We are NOT overgrown school bullies" claim middle aged columnists, politicians & billionaires forcing actual school children they will never meet out of club they share with their friends

If only…

I really think life‘s struggles can be summed up by one simple sentiment: So many books, so little time.

It’s so sunny outside but I am working.

Knew this would happen to me so made them on Sunday for Breakfast.

Bookshop crawl completed in Camberwell and Peckham. This is my haul, it was a lovely day for it. @bookshopcrawluk.bsky.social

It’s sunny and a bookshop crawl for me today! #londonbookshopcrawl

I've just reviewed my 51st Sticky Toffee Pudding. But what did it get out of 10?

Jigsaw number 2, smaller but very pretty.

Saw this on Instagram earlier, and it floored me. You need to stay for the entire 19 seconds...

I am so bored of corporate speak and positivity.

Listened to the new episodes of The Missing Cryptoqueen and it’s so upsetting. Ordinary good people will never win and it’s so heartbreaking. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

Technology is against me today: royal mail app not working ‘oops’ constantly and another app has stuffed things up. Make your apps work properly!!!

It’s me… I am always saying this.

Trying to limit screen time so finally finished this jigsaw which I have attempted on and off for years. Black and white jigsaws are hard.

Top of the charts at my house today

Just saw this and it was incredible: sohotheatre.com/events/natal...

I am now the type of boring grown up that buys towels and socks in the sales.

Lovely stuff: youtu.be/7u8OybDHqJo?...

Starting the New Year, hoping at the very least, things won’t get worse.

Got through the rest of Nine bodies in a Mexican morgue. Very cheery festive fayre.

Merry Christmas everyone, especially my #Playschool Babies. Be kind, considerate and compassionate as the festive season continues. Spread joy everywhere you go and remember the best gift you can give is unconditional love ❤️🎄❤️
