Horrendous. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Can’t sleep; made 2 more cards because the ideas were swirling round my brain.

Decided to finish off this quirky animals kit before starting on Christmas cards, then I can tidy all that away and reorganise properly to get everything needed together.

Final one for the day; sweet squirrel easel card.

Another fun card made with leftover bits and bobs!

Feeling completely hopeless. Had an excellent day at work & lovely feedback about the cards but just can’t shake this abject underlying uselessness. Was hanging on by my fingertips to progress made this year but now I’m sliding rapidly downhill.

Done the square root of f all since coming home from work apart from eat until I feel sick and do some washing up. Was going to make some more cute cards but my brain wasn’t in creative mode. Need to start Christmas cards too.

Because it’s bloody dangerous? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sadly too late for last Saturday’s Mystery Jukebox but WOW! Whoda thunka this pairing… youtu.be/Xgp7wlBfASA?...

This is the equally fascinating companion thread to @oldenoughtosay.com’s on the matter!

This is fascinating!

Some more cards from the cute kit with the sloth.

Doing some experimenting after watching a couple of videos. Thoughts please about if it works.

Huge pot of ham and borlotti bean soup made; put the smoked ham hock in the slow cooker overnight with veggies to make the stock. House smells amazing!

Wow!

Can’t sleep; left hip is incredibly painful. Hot water bottle and painkillers on board.

It’s so difficult to say what “the news” is these days: newspapers and front pages seem largely irrelevant, the BBC is ignored or castigated by so many, and social media is so siloed that “current affairs” seems to exist in multiple separate iterations

Made a wee card for a pal who loves a sloth. ❤️

Came home from work and had a massive panic because I genuinely couldn’t remember double checking the safes before leaving, which probably means I did but still… 🤦🏼‍♀️

This is brilliant.

Bought myself this brushed cotton duvet set with coordinating bottle green brushed cotton sheet and pillow cases. Will collect it on Tuesday; am very excited. Although I don’t need any more encouragement to hibernate! 😂

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

Mamdani is going to implement Sheila E law. Everyone has to lead a glamorous life. When asked how much would it cost, Mamdani shrugged and said “it ain’t much”

Mamdani is going to implement Sherry law. Everyone will have to have a bottle of Harvey’s Bristol Cream with them at all times.

This made me laugh, then I read the comment and laughed even more.

Another excellent Mystery Jukebox today thanks to @mmshere.bsky.social! This is my third token choice 😜 youtu.be/iYuldgIOelY?...

So much TV to catch up with so spent the afternoon watching ABBA: The Movie (it’s so weird) followed by Star Wars: A New Hope. Found a documentary thing about Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry on my list of recorded stuff.

Quentin Wilson, the original Top Gear host. RIP. ‘Former Top Gear presenter Quentin Willson dies’

If 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'' was written today it would probably be called 'You've Got The Ick' and that just doesn't sound as good.

Happy #WorldRadiographyDay 2025 from UHS💙 Thank you to every #radiographer who gives their all for patients, colleagues and our profession. Proud to stand alongside such skilled and compassionate people every day. #WRD2025 #ProudToBeARadiographer #MedicalImaging

This is marvellous.

Ignore the passing of a misogynistic, racist ideas thief and instead say farewell to the ex drummer from Squeeze, who by all accounts was a lovely guy. Squeeze drummer Gilson Lavis dies aged 74 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Most enjoyable useless fact of the night gleaned from watching BBC Four’s Eurythmics round up is that Kiki Dee did backing vox on Who’s That Girl.

Rosalind Franklin Leaving her notes in a pile That she keeps by the door Who is it for? Awful James Watson Stealing the credit And snaffling all the awards Misogynist bore

am reminded of the old joke: what did James Watson discover? Rosalind Franklin’s notes.

Yazz’s dance moves giving me flashbacks to aerobics classes from that era.

This is still one of my favourite Kylie songs.

Fancy a Diet Coke now.

Forgotten about this BA Robertson song.

Always find it wild when I remember Lena wrote the lyric’s for Cerrone's Supernature.

I hope Lena Lovich scared the heck out of the poor little sparrow lot 😂

I’m at a complete loss with this one on TOTP; it’s pretty inoffensive.

Great tune!

Toulouse-Lautrec and Albert Belleroche were exact contemporaries who first met at the age of eighteen. Belleroche painted Toulouse-Lautrec’s portrait and shared with him an admiration for the model and actress Lili Grenier, whom he depicts here asleep in a work from 1890.
