Stormzy calls reading a ‘superpower’ as he backs accessible books campaign www.theguardian.com/books/2026/f...

THAT was pure evil that dog walk. 1 degrees feels like -5. Felt like -15 to me. Raw, bitter, strong Easterly wind coming from Siberia it felt like. 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶I won't cry, the tears would surely freeze on my face.

Listen to that bloody wind and it's freezing cold too. And I bet it's an easterly wind. 🥶🥶

I was scrolling through past posts and shares, like you do when you're supposed to be doing something useful and rediscovered this. Isn't it lovely. 🥰

Stripped ancient old flowery wallpaper off chimney breast which was so last century. I don't think it was pre 2000 but it was dated. Painted it ready for wallpaper but it looks quite good painted.

I absolutely will not get any more books 'til I've made some headway into the ones I already have. No more Netgalley, no more Prime borrowing, no more buying. Just read all the books I thought "oooh that sounds good, I must have it" and now gaze at wondering when I'll read them.

Stop scrolling. Finish the book. See if I can fathom why the book started at the end and worked its way backwards. 🤔 Good Good Loving by Yvette Edwards.

I loved the book so much - I wanted to find more about the mysterious isolated fen hospital in which it is set... www.thebooktrail.com/the-isolated... #Fenhospital #Lincolnshire photo by Rachel Canwell @northodoxpress.bsky.social

This sounds good.

It's only a couple of weeks until our first book of 2026 is out and we couldn't be more excited to share Paper Sisters with you! You can preorder that or have a look at what else we're up to in our shop here: share.google/PEwuvQmpc6cA...

Animal Crossing has had an update! That game has sat idle for months as I'm very bored after 5 years of it. Son gave me a couple of controllers so I was trying them out and then an update and now it has a hotel 😍 so I'm hooked again.......for now.....

Ahhhhh, and relaxxxxx. Peace at last. 🥰

OM Gooooood! By the time next door finish that freakin' house they'll be carting me off in a straight jacket. I've got music on loud, that I don't really want on to drown out their annoying radio with the thudding and banging and drilling over the top of it. Hate weekends now!

Glad it's not just me. I've been reading this book and wondering why it's so popular. I've read a couple of other books by this author and enjoyed them but this......I'm bored! So I read the 2 star reviews and agree with all of them. I suppose I'll finish it. 🙄

ARC Review – The One Night Stand by LH Stacey @LyndaStacey @BoldwoodBooks #PublicationDay #BookReview #BlogTour #RomanticSuspense #TheOneNightStand bookescapes.home.blog/2026/01/21/a...

My review of this insightful and warm hearted memoir from a carer. Sometimes funny, most times touching and kind. I loved reading this book. Every Kind of People - A journey into the heart of carework by Kathryn Faulke. #memoir #booksky 📚💙

Morrisons. £3 cheaper and I didn't have to jump through hoops to buy it. I call Morrison's, but the self serve checkout supervisor today was super efficient, I bet she sleeps at night, runs herself ragged she does helping people out.

I'm not being forced into age verification for social media as another way for that bunch of tricksters and liars to get their digital ID eventually sneaked in. I'll just dump FB and Ex. I think I'm already age verified on here but if not....well I'll have a lot more time to read.

I just wanted a replacement electric carving knife as ours has given up the ghost. Who knew Amazon could make such a performance out of age verification. I've wasted the whole bloody evening faffing around one way and another. Should have just gone to Argos. 🙄

And talking of TV when does After the Flood continue? They make me laugh ITV, they advertised that thing 10 million times in the new year then they show two episodes and don't bother to tell you when the next one is on.

They don't half make a drama out of Coronation Street these days don't they. What's with the music? 🙄

I'm very tempted by this book. It sounds really good. My kind of book, the more emotional, poignant the better.

Somewhere in the UK there's a huge black hole, or maybe a triangle like the Bermuda one where every parcel EVRI ever gets their hands on just disappears into, never to be seen again. The worst 'business' that was ever allowed to trade!

Been to the hairdressers this morning, came back with this from her little library shelf. Just read a couple of pages and need to put it away for now. I've loads that I need to read first and those first couple of pages are so tempting.

We all know Trump is mentally ill. But it’s a mistake to think it will all go away if he does. The fallacy is that he’s appointed nut-jobs to do his bidding. But mark my words it is he that is doing their bidding. There is a plan and he is a useful idiot. Otherwise they would easily stop him.

Coconut perfume from M&S smells soooo nice. Had a quick squirt this morning when I was in there. Smells amazeballs. Need to go back and get some.

What a pretty ending to an otherwise grim, miserable day. The murk has cleared and now sunset, the sky is full of salmon pink fluffy clouds.

Hey Fitbit how do you rate 4 hrs 45 mins sleep as "good" cos I don't. Greg James has just been playing whale noises, I could do with that to help send me to sleep, very soothing and relaxing. Need to keep a sleep diary of some sort, this insomnia is becoming a habit.

Aww I love Michael McIntyre's Big Show. It's about the only thing that makes me laugh on TV. And wasn't the singer good? I don't even like slow songs but he was so good and so unassuming and lovely.

Can you hear that? It's called silence. Bliss!

Aww, I have so had enough now. Next door still haven't moved in, every weekend getting on for 5 months now has been hammering, banging, plaster mixing and that effing radio from 10.00am till 7 at night. Could have built a whole sodded housing estate by now. 🤬

It's not often I listen to old music but.....George Benson, Shalamar - A Night to Remember. Takes me back to a club on Oxford Rd, Manchester. Ladies Night 🎶🎵🎶

Wow, I'm well impressed. It's not often you get good customer service, so when you do it's something to shout about. Just had technical help with a problem with a new Sharp TV and the help provided by TMTI Ltd was brilliant. 👏

Good morning. According to my weather app sunrise is at 8.15am today, but I woke at 6.45am and I can hear the dawn chorus out there so it's starting to get lighter each and every day. 👏 🌅

A snowflake, lamenting its brief life, was touched by a sunbeam’s pity. As it melted into the earth, it was reborn as a flower, white as snow, its petals tipped with green. Thus the snowdrop came to unfurl its blooms each winter, a herald of spring’s approach. #FolkloreThursday

Just in case there is anyone who actually wants to know this, the John Sugden that was, and I said was in Corrie, well he didn't turn bad, he was locked in a cellar for weeks by Pat Phelan who then killed him. 😱

@uphilldowndalew.bsky.social Have you tried the 'for you' feed? It's quite similar to quiet posters and you may well see some of the posts you're missing.

When David Hockney first brought his mother to California she looked out of the window one day and remarked: “All this sunshine and no washing out.”

Wow what an educational day. I've got sod all else done but hey ho, I've learned an awful lot today. From horticulture to urology, my brain is full to the top now. Time to read some fiction.

No one will ever turn me against AI. I've just had a 90 minute lesson on everything there is to know about caring for a cyclamen. Someone who would NEVER go near a gardening book and would chuck a plant as soon as it looked sick. I am now a Cyclamen expert!

😍 Cuteness personified. 😍 Look at that little face.

Just bought a book to gain the "lasting reads" badge in the #Goodreads winter challenge. I've seen this before and wanted to read it. Can't wait. 📚💙 #booksky

I'm going to attempt the #Goodreads Winter challenge, there are some good book suggestions. That means I'll have to stop getting #Netgalley books though. 3 on my shelf. Best get reading then. Oh and stop being tempted by Prime reads too. And don't buy any more.

My son moved house end of last year. He lived in the last house since 2014. It's now costing him a lot more to live in a house that is much colder than his old house. But he now has his own garden - which he'll be able to sit in for a couple of months out of the whole year 🤷
