Afternoon walk with my friend prior to late buffet at mums.

After a late bedtime, the dog slept in until 7.45. Great start to 2026! Happy New Year.

Latest read. So glad I took both books out of the library; part 1 was sooo good! Last book to be started in 2025. 📚 💙 #BookSky #books #reading

Christmas day off to a great start when we saw an otter in the river 😍

Christmas morning- a cuppa, a read and a sleeping dog. Everyone else in bed. Merry Christmas 🎅

Christmas starts here. Quiet night in before the celebrations and dinner preparations. Having a wee glass of sloe gin.

Christmas read, can't wait! 📚💙 #BookSky #books #reading

Andrew Tate looked cream crackered by round 4 of whatever that was. We should just make a new boxing division called "Media Personalities who could do with a slap"

Out at the Bradford pantomime this afternoon with my sister. My favourite, #myradubois was fantastic. Wasn't feeling much Christmas spirit until seeing this. 🌲

Putting mums tree up today. Found the little cracker I made when I was four. It's mums favourite ornament; it's 58 years old and wearing pretty well.

Yes, who is more likely to regard the sacrifice of people as abhorrent than those who follow a religion centered on celebrating the sacrifice of a person?

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences. It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Visited The Turner Prize exhibit 2025 at Cartwright Hall in Bradford. Worth a visit and free entry.

Nativity set in local antiques shop - Joseph and Mary look positively horrified at their progeny.

Power is a current without noise. When it is authentic, it is constructive. When it is not, it is destructive Authentic power is rooted in competence, clarity, integrity & the ability to shape reality without coercion Inauthentic power relies on secrecy, manipulation, fear, control and domination.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

In a society of Sexual Preadors. It should shock no one that rings like Epstein's thrive and exist. This twisted sense of attraction to "purity" that allows predators to attack children has gone on for centuries, and is ongoing. And some using the excuse "they don't look like kids" is sick!

In case you didn't realize it, we're very fragile creatures. Be kind to each other. 🪄✨💫🎵☀️

Look at what this garish, classless, tasteless fool has done to the People’s House.

I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, "If this isn't nice, I don't know what is." Kurt Vonnegut, American author, born on this day in 1922.

Highly recommend this series.

My poor dog is terrified of the loud bang fireworks. Nov 5th in the UK is Guy Fawkes/Bonfire night which would be fine if it didn't go on for over a week. The loud bangs are the problem- dogs, wildlife, farm animals and veterans who suffer from PTSD all find this difficult. Ban loud bang fireworks

Samir Zitouni who works for LNER was the first person to try and stop the attack in Huntingdon. He is a hero spread his name far and wide, judge people on their actions not their names or immigration status.

Lovely day out at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Gardens.

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK... 78% are murdered by a partner/ex Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety In fact, they voted against them...

Read in public. Read in private. Read e-books, genre books, comics, fanfiction. Read literature. Read nonfiction. Read books you’ve already read. Listen to audiobooks. Read what you want. There’s no such thing as “doing reading the wrong way.”

Was playing around with the idea of learning to make my own clothes bc I hate how shitty the quality has become and I have no money. Turns out, it’s possibly more expensive to make your own shit. Why must modern life be nonstop hell?

5am wake up. Not amused. Photo is not my actual dog BTW.

Modesty is a concept rooted in patriarchy, misogyny and purity culture. Every time the topic arises the burden always falls on women which is very telling. A woman will be blamed for causing a man to lust but a man won't be blamed for his actions or for being in that environment.
