On a @gwr.com train from Barnstaple to Exeter, moved seats twice to get away from students with dirty feet on the seats. Can’t think when the last time the seats were refreshed, judging by the look of them 🤷🏻‍♀️

I really wish people selling clothes on Vinted would include photos of the inside labels with the side, material and crucially - the washing instructions!

Just randomly found out that my absolute favouritest author of all time, Louise Penny, has a new Armand Gamache book out this year. If that weren’t exciting enough, its publication date is a few days before my birthday!

Anyone who received their postal ballot today in the South of Scotland region, please be aware that "Independent Green Voice", which appears second on the list on the peach regional ballot paper, is NOT the Scottish Green Party. This is in fact a deliberate vote spoiling attempt by right-wingers.

My uncle Ian is running London Marathon this year for Asthma and Lung UK, and he’s the absolute best - if you were thinking of donating to charity, please consider this one: join.asthmaandlung.org.uk/fundraisers/...

Happy Mothering Sunday!

I definitely recommend reading this series!

The only thing better than finding a new Lady Hardcastle book in NetGalley, is finding it’s a Read Now! Totally made my day! ❤️ @tekinsey.uk (You should all totally read the series as 1) it is excellent, and 2) the author is a top bloke)

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’d rather walk than fly Ryanair…

@marcantolin.bsky.social duuuuuuuude! Just seen your Olivier nomination, congratulations! 🙌🏻 🥂

Browsing old Instagram posts of mine, I found this photo I took in 2018 on a visit to Washington DC, back when this was the Kennedy Centre… simpler, better times. One can only hope we find our way back to this.

Guess what's available to request @netgalley.bsky.social UK?

Unmute, but I still maintain the Benny Hill Theme would be perfect for this.

you also need to unmute this for the perfect song / visual combo

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. “What are you here for?”

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The US granted visas to Jews but only allowed 30,000 in from Germany a year. You had to wait for your number to come up. Meet Robert Smallbones. An unassuming British diplomat who 'hacked' this system so effectively (saving 48 THOUSAND Jews) the UK government kept his scheme secret for decades /1 🧵

ah the regular reminder that my work password is going to expire and I really wish my employer would read the NCSC guidance on passwords www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/p...

@matterdays.bsky.social @handymaam.bsky.social

Here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.

Ooh a good morning for @netgalley.bsky.social approvals I see!

One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com

✂️ Yesterday I finally responded to @agakowalska.bsky.social’s challenge to make a collage from a single piece of packaging. I present to you a green (tea) woodpecker, made from a big Yorkshire Tea box. It was fun and I’ll be rooting through our recycling bin for more materials later on ♻️

Here are my top 10 dogs and their grandparents!
