College kid; "Mum, I'm planning a party. Will you buy our alcohol?" Me; "OK but no spirits." College kid; "What are spirits?" Am now confident my response was foolish 🤦🏼‍♀️

Went for a run! 2.5 miles. Crap pace, three ten second walks, dizzy but my heart rate is back to normal in ten mins 🏆Now to get back to proper fitness....and beat the kid. So chuffed!

Imagine if from birth we were brought up to see similarities rather than differences. If the focus was on what we have in common, what we share, what we enjoy.

2.5 hours in the oven. Perfectly cooked. Can't taste or smell it. Will try again in six months 💪🏻

After 15 months my sense of taste and smell is faintly starting to return with a few things. Death row meal is in the oven. Sweet dauphinoise potato bake. Please let me be able to taste it 🙏🏻

My kid is the best in the world. Every day they ask how my day has been, listens and offers their opinion. Often blunt (where do they get that from?) Emotionally intelligent and genuinely gives a shit. Friends ace too. This generation is going to positively change the world.

Just got to accept that burning to death is fine. If it wasn't hard-wired in, I'd have got my crowbar on this blasted smoke detector. Downstairs one sorted fine.

Live from this afternoon’s joint press conference between the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the President of the United States.

When your hard-wired smoke alarm decides to play a little tune for one minute at midnight...why? Just why? Not creepy at all 🙄

Watching 'Help! We Bought a Village'. If it wasn't for the ridiculously stupid foot-shooting episode that was Brexit, I could happily vanish to some beautiful abandoned wreck in France needing love, armed with tools, a radio, and wine.

Word of the Day is ‘snerdle’ (19th century): to stay warm and still beneath the covers for as long as humanly possible.

A character in the book I'm reading has just served a shepherd's pie. Darn you! Now have a craving for it 🙄.

If you've got a love for Yorkshire or history, I can highly recommend these downloadable magazines. Beautifully written and packed full of articles and images. On a 'pay as you wish' basis but time, expertise and effort have gone in, so please pay fairly 😊🤓📚 @handhyorkshire.bsky.social

Caked in make-up to look healthy after insufficient sleep. An hour of being charming for interviews this afternoon required. If my face can crack a smile, it'll be a miracle.
