Walking along a corridor and I caught this completely out of context moment. Consultant: 💁‍♂️ I don't know...is £200 a month a lot to you? Group of junior doctors: (instantly & emphatically) YES

I have a scratchy throat, sniffles and a temperature. Do not be fooled by how mild this sounds, I am DYING and should be allowed to stay in bed for the rest of the week

I'm seeing so many new mushrooms this year. IDK if it's me looking or weather/climate etc but it's such fun!

A roadrunner. Meep meep! I love them so much, lol.

When the Halloween decorations highlight a significant gap in biology knowledge 🤭

I went to a traditional hairdresser, not accustomed to wavy/curly hair. She basically asked me **how** I wanted my hair dried straight, so enjoy it while it lasts, folks 😆

Well, I guess we know the price our government sets on our morals at least. #Microsoft

Occasionally, true crime TV throws in a gem. 👮‍♂️: 911, what's your emergency 🙎‍♂️: my wife shot me 👮‍♂️: your wife shot you? 🙎‍♂️: yeah 👮‍♂️: why'd she shoot you? 🙎‍♂️: I dunno... It's giving 'what we're you wearing when he raped you' and i appreciate the tables turning.

The news appears to be saying saying Mandelson was picked as US ambassador despite his relationship with Epstein. Sorry, but wouldn't that be helpful with the current administration?

When the first response customer service/complaint person gets the reply from someone who has managed complaints professionally and knows the game.

Can I add "I'm tired of picking up other people's mistakes - can't they just bE sMaRTeR" to my list of points to discuss with my manager?

New water bottle needed stickers so I made a start at the weekend with this artsy moment.

👇👇👇

I was in the 'don't be so dramatic, a few days of rain =/= autumn' camp. But a crazy (GIANT) spider just made a dash across the living room, so fine; it's autumn 🍂

Back from my sister's, where I was surprised to find not only my new niece but these 3 other babies! 5wks old, likely part Maine Coon. Quite a handful.

Spotted from high above - a wind farm. And because of the low cloud cover just a view of the patchwork countryside and the horizon.

No, YOU overreacted to not being able to buy your favourite peanut butter in nearly a month.

When a colleague responds to your suggestion with "great minds think alike" and your first response is

*rushes in - throws cake - tries to eat streamers* Happy Birthday @winterl0ver.bsky.social 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I hope you've had an amazing day and have cake and goodies to last for days!

Young person's birthday? What can you do but crochet a whale shark?!

When you're looking at the 'Rare & Beautiful' section and can almost hear @aldiwitch.bsky.social half way across the world

Imma gripe a bit. Because my day is regularly beset by peers looking for advice/ support /cover - i like helping, I'm not complaining. But a development day is scheduled for when I'm off and the attempts to consider alternatives was lacklustre at best.

Do not say you welcome distractions from report writing if you don't mean it! This morning was definitely a challenge and some worthy work but yikes, report writing would have been kinder to my blood pressure!

Be the person YT thinks you are. (Also worth noting that I think shelving your books by colour is the work of a deranged mind.)

Yesterday, I tried the workout my physio recommended and it turns out she was right, my thigh muscles weren't everything they could be. And now they're concrete.

I was going to comment on the number of weather/natural events as indicators of disaster but I have just witnessed a grown man on his way to work eating 3 Cheesestrings, a packet of Quavers and a can of ?energy drink. I think that's far more foreboding.

An amber weather warning for wind has been issued. Let's see how the new fence holds up!

Yesterday I wrapped up my work day/week by supporting someone to make a very important disclosure to senior management. They were so brave and I am so relieved that knowledge is with someone who can influence change now.

Gifting success! I used the basil I've been growing for months and some peas from the garden to make a pesto-loving-friend pea pesto for her birthday! 🫛 Next, crochet for nibling! 🧶

ECZEMAAAAAAAA!!! 🤬🤬🤬

She's been off for months but my colleague still managed to seriously annoy me today. That's a rare talent.

You know what might deter illegal immigrants? A fair working economy where there's no opportunity for illegal working because employers AND CUSTOMERS are happy to look the other way on terrible working conditions/wages if it means they get their tatt cheaper. #exploitingdesperation

Ozzy Osborne's death has second billing in the news; England's football team winning a GAME (not the tournament) is top billing. I'm so tired.

Pea season is upon us! Expect me to be green but happy over the next few weeks.

I got a little dejected last night and wrote to my MP to say I'm disappointed with his vote against Palestine Action.

Why isn't all this AI offering me a polite way to say 'I gave you two options and you just replied with Yes'? 🤨

Oh wow, Julian McMahon, (okay, yeah I only know him as Dr Doom and the guy from Charmed) has died. It feels like a lot of public figures have gone recently. Maybe, Just leaving early to avoid the rush?

A dream of modern times. I was in a house and discovered the roof was leaking. I scrambled around to minimise the damage and inform the home owner. The owner just nods, yeah they know all about it. They're just going to live with it, didn't even try to prevent/minimise damage to THEIR OWN STUFF.

The George Monbiot video is twice as long as it needs to be so I can't honestly share it but that's because the case is clear. Even my 65yo+ parents who only watch mainstream news can see what Israel is doing is wrong. I'm so ashamed of the UK government.

Software update on my phone just switched to dark mode and moved the option to switch into a background battery setting 🫩🤬 #Samsung #arse

I might never be able to mow again. The garden is choc-a-block with ladybirds and I don't want to destroy their home.

Sorry I'm late for work, I had to fertilise a courgette

I felt bad about interrupting/scaring away a little party of birds on the pavement until I realised they were gobbling up the ants marching home. Such anty chaos Whose side am I on?!

I have been doing a lot of digging to level out the big dip in the garden. I just hope no one in my close family or neighbourhood goes missing or I am going to look very suspicious.

This is me having a work-related anxiety dream (where an office full of catty colleagues turn on me for not doing enough) at the end of two weeks leave. 🙄

I really need @bsky.app to have a private post option (followers only). I have had so much to say I nearly starting tweeting therapeutically. The Wedding: Day 2

I am about to go to a wedding venue which has two courtyards of self catering accommodation which, for ~50hrs will be occupied by family members.

These are the plants that I have kept alive since the start of April. My dad is caring for them while I'm away, so I took pictures in case they don't make it 🫤

Today I saw TWO other planes, high up above the clouds, from the plane I was travelling on. One was on a course that crossed ours so I got to see it appear and then watch it go. Rather surreal.
