So I get to work an extra year so that rich people don't have to pay taxes? Doesn't sound like a party who calls themselves Labour actually care about working people. ..

Just spent an hour pulling weeds and ivy. The only shit that grows during dry weather...

Really enjoyed The Odyssey. Casting spot on. Didn't feel like a nearly 3 hour film.

Please don't let me live long enough to become a burden for my son. Watching my husband try a manage/deal with all his dad's finances and other needs is sad especially now he's in a nursing home that costs £7k a month. I never want to put my son through this.

I sew, knitter, crochet, needlepoint of all kinds. Should I learn to weave on a rigid heddle loom? Or is it a craft too far...

How can a company be in profit yet be in debt by millions? 🤔

Waste of money. There's a high speed rail from Gravesend to St Pancras with connections through Kent, maybe the nationalised southeastern rail can lower prices so people don't have to drive! Or subsidise a bus from Ebbsflert to Thurrock. Another road crossing is stupid.

Now THIS is weather I can deal with. 17 mile bike ride earlier with tailwind to start and headwind back.

I'm sorry but the Channel 5 coverage of the Tour De France is boring. ITV was much better. I'm trying to enjoy this, but might just follow it on bluesky instead.

So if the UK govt missold student loans I assume they'll be paying them all back? Tax the fucking rich and not students! Every time I turn around some other rich grifter shit is occurring in the UK.

I think everyone in the UK should have to sit through some civic lessons. What it means to contribute to your community, how/where to vote, local vs central govt, hierarchy of road use. Then maybe people will stop being selfish assholes.

I think the government doesn't understand that defence and infrastructure are linked. If roads/transport aren't suitable how are troops and people supposed to get where they need to? If a terrible event occurred how would civilians escape? Honestly Labour is a true disappointment for me.

The Goodyear blimp is over Central Kent...

New toy for putting up with us clearing the conservatory 😂

Currently cleaning up the conservatory prior to the roof being replaced. One of us is a hoarder, the other a thrower... I'm the thrower.

Today is our 20th wedding anniversary. Time sure does fly!

Tax the fucking rich and thier companies. Pay for decent transport, roads, welfare and defence all in one! It's not that difficult.

Why is it 90% of the people my age on insta don't have to work. Just running, hiking, crafting, whatever. Do they have unlimited funds, are the secretly rich. 🤔

If you live in any area where the US has bases, now is your time to contact your MP to get them out. They're about to let us store a huge nuclear arsenal and enhance their bases, probably to spy on us and Europe. Time to be done with thus.

You'd think the Tories would crawl back into the shithole they came from. We're in this mess because of them. The audacity is insane.

Mel Brooks is 100. My sense of humour is heavily influenced by his films. This one is a classic.

Out for my run this morning, and a herd of kitted up runners pushed me off the pavement into the road. Not sure what happened to the running community, used to be much more courteous. This is why I run on my own. #running

This and remove their armed forces .👇

Lovely open water swim earlier this morning. Now operation keep the dog cool is on.

3am poor Harley has come up to our room because of the lightning. Normally he's not scared, but these were very close to the house and very loud, especially with all the windows open.

White people are fucking whiny aboutthe dumbest things. I'm white and I'm sick of our shit.

34C outside, 29C inside. Can't wait to open the windows in a few hours.😂😂😂

32C outside 29C inside. Was hoping to keep it cooler. Doesn't bode well for this afternoon. Dog on laminate floor with frequent water misting.

I'm sorry but if I have to scan my face to use any more social media bye bye insta (which I only use for memes now). Also anything else that requires my face will be ditched. The ban is a scam to harvest our data and let tech bros have 0 responsibility.

Welcome to Hell. British heat waves are ridiculous. 29C outside already. House 27C windows/blinds shut, hoping to keep it below 29C. 3 fans on all directed at Harley.

Lovely time in Bruges. Very hot. Like a Medieval Disneyland, very touristy. But nice nonetheless.

Today on my run up to the store I saw two ladies on pushbike with a motorcycle rear pannier attached at the rear. I was very impressed.

If what's on your phone is more important than talking to a human being, your priorities might be off.

Car now working. Taking to our usual mechanic to fix properly then it's going. This thing has had nothing but gremlins.

Connected rod came undone (whoever knows how) charging battery and fingers crossed.

Should know more about the car once the AA arrives. Hoping we can get it running then flog the bloody thing.

I lived a kilometre from a mega food warehouse.The noise is between constant humming and huge lorries revving their engines. The humming is the most annoying as it never stops. There used to be time restrictions but those were removed during covid and never came back.

Some days I could just cry. Driving back from shops and car gearbox starts acting funny. Stuck in park but still drives. Limped home and have it on the drive with e-brake on. AA will be here tomorrow but OH needs it sat for work. Knew we should have binned that car months ago.

Packed ready for our Bruges motorbike trip after the weekend.

I'm about to start a sweater in 4 ply wool. I expect to finish it by the end of the decade. 🤣

Something I learned in life is that bad things rarely happen to bad people.

Wonder who all those public sector workers with great pensions are. Checked mine and if I work another 20 years (68) I'll get a whopping 12k a year with no lump sum. Unless you started pre-14 and do 35-40 years it isn't worth shit. Not convinced I'll get to retire before 68, and that depresses me.

UK judges trying to rewrite suffragettes history to continue to arrest pensioners is insane.

My prediction: Rowley is gone in 3-6 months. Confidence of the people is lost and policing by consent is dead.

Today I swam 1500 metres. Not fast. Just a lovely swim in a beautiful setting.

As a white person I'm getting really sick of white people bullshit...

Out pillion on the motorbike today. Did see lots of cyclists which put a smile on my face. Too bad idiots in 2 ton death mobiles don't realise other road users exist. Reminded how much I hate car drivers. Braking without thinking, cutting off cars, bikes etc.

Especially when said trillionaire is propped up by tax payers $$$.

Just tax the fucking rich! Defence spending, tax the rich. NHS funding, tax the rich. Social care funding, tax the rich. JFC it's in front of their faces. Fuck. The. Rich. Close tax loopholes, bin nom doms. They won't leave because they like money, which they'll still make.

We should have burnt the whole thing down after Sarah Everard was murdered....
