Engage smug mode... Managed to drop my pin 15 ft from the picture. Granted it was a round about I have driven over many times, but still. I will take it. (I didn't manage to take a screenshot so you will just have to take my word for it.)

If you make volunteering mandatory then it isn't volunteering, it's slavery. Let's be clear. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

13th birthday at the trampoline place followed by a sleepover. And THIS is the day my body decides to wake up with a cold. #stupidgerms #nottodaysatan

Immigrants-are-eating-the-swans season seems to come round earlier every year. Either that or I am getting old. Maybe both. #fuckreform

#walkmaninmyhead in playing this one today. It's going to be a Lush Friday ❤️ open.spotify.com/track/64RQTM...

How many portions of crumble is it permissable to consume on a Sunday? I can't help but feel that being the one who made it I should be permitted 2 helpings. #crumble #autumnishere

Give AI doesn't know what a man cleaning a toilet looks like, this shouldn't be a surprise. But Jesus Mary and the donkey, this all needs some work before we start relying on it doesn't it. On wait. Too late 🤦‍♀️😳

Just told my husband I should be less busy today. Fucking jinxed myself now haven't I.

Ok, timeline cleanse. Everyone who sees this post, quote post 5 things that make you happy Family 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 The cats 🐈‍⬛🐅 Music 🪇 Listening to history podcasts in the bath 📜 Cheese 🧀 (Also drag race, I am with Dustin on that one 💅👠👯‍♂️🪩)

The vegetarian (ie me) was left to cook a beef joint. The vegetarian googled for instructions and what the website of the fancy supermarket said to do. The meat eaters are now complaining I did it wrong. There may be a reason I don't normally do these things ....

Perfect Friday Night: German history podcast in the bath with a can of knock off Aldi not-dr-pepper. It's a crazy rock and roll life I lead. open.spotify.com/episode/2duX...

Go on go on go on go on! Https://blood.co.uk #nhsblooddonation #blood

Visited Osbourne House today. No huge bum availability but I found these 3 on the terrace garden for you @museumbums.bsky.social

Blood donation number 19 done. If you are able to donate please consider this your reminder to book in to do it. Https://blood.com #nhsblooddonation #blood #vampires 🧛‍♂️

Ugh. Husband is off work today. This means daytime TV is on. Oh my word! Where do they find these people?!

Couldn't take time out go to the summer fete. It's ok though, son brought me home a dinosaur robot. He knows me well. #dinosaur #workingmum

Had my top on backwards all day. There's a good reason I don't usually leave the house.

It's time to go be too hot, tired but still awake in bed (or on top of the covers anyway) instead of too hot on the sofa.

May have gone too soon with my cool bath (or just got out too soon? ). Too hot again now. Also hungry... But food requires effort.

We have been binging The Decameron. Definitely one to watch if you've not seen it yet. Maybe not with your mum though 🤣

Period pains, but it's too hot for a hot water bottle. The struggle is real. #ow #periodpains

@rjbarker.bsky.social is this officially out yet or are Waterstones getting carried away again? Either way, it's here! #wyrdwood

Years ago in the chat pane in a bingo site, a lady said to me "ooh I went to Winchester once" and proceeded to describe to me the location of a bridge where she fucked her boyfriend. I probably replied with a truly British "good for you" and mostly forgot about it.

Ooh my word. Going to have to weed a shadier bit of the garden till the sun moves round. Ot just nap for a bit. One or the other.

Husband made a herb bed. I have liberally thrown in a variety of seeds of varying levels of antiquity. No labels. Now we play the waiting game. Think germinating thoughts for me! #garden

No Australia? I am sulking. So if we could just make an extra spot for him please Martin. #ESC

Saturday nights are alright for.... Assembling cheap temu not-lego? While making moderate use of the blue inhaler. Aren't chest infections fun. #saturday

@soverybritish.bsky.social I needed a new toaster and specifically looked for one that is tall enough to slice the whole slice of bread. It arrived today and I just tested it and IT WORKS! This felt like the kind of British update you needed to be aware of.

Donation 18. This is your regular reminder to donate too if you're able. You get biscuits and a little sit down. Https://www.blood.co.uk. #blooddonation #nhsblooddonation

Hi! I'm a MRes student at the University of Winchester, looking for people who are trying to lose weight for a discussion on the impact of negative & positive comments on your weight loss/food choices etc. If you're available for a chat based discussion, please join my study. tinyurl.com/2hwpze54

We have reached the "we can put some things (but not everything) stage of kitchen construction. Today's project is reducing the chaos in the rest of the house somewhat. Whist editing to only put away the things someone has used in the last 5 years.... #diyhell #worthitwhenitsfinished

I just. Worked out why I like WFH so much - no shoes required! I have had to wear shoes 2 days in a row and I DO NOT LIKE! If only it was acceptable to bring my slippers to change into when visiting a prospective customer for an important sales meeting in London.

Myself and Mr 12 have just stood next to each other in front of the mirror. I am not the shortest person in the house. Yet. Now he is willing another growth spurt.

A movie you've watched more than six times. (Now from just seeing this gif I will be oh-de-lally-ing all the day)

The bonus of having a "fuck it, let's order terrible deep pan pizza from the place down the road" moment last night is bonus breakfast pizza this morning.

Thanks Duo... Would never have worked this out on my own.

All caught up with @thebhp.bsky.social @whatshernamepod.bsky.social @englishhistpod.bsky.social and Betwixt (@k8lister.bsky.social). It's time for some German history as my bath time treat 😁🛁 @hotgpod.bsky.social

Noone in my house is interested in football ⚽. This means that when the conversation ends up on the topic of sports tangentially, instead of talking about any teams any of us support (because we don't) now we all learned that Vatican City have a football team.

Today the #walkmaninmyhead is playing Backstreet Boys. I only know one of their songs. So that one.

This cat has the zoomies. It's very important she knocks everything on the floor. While mowing. #cat

Stupid germs. (Or maybe hayfever... Or maybe both). I am admitting defeat and going to bed. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Went to see the Minecraft movie with Mr 12. It's good stupid fun. Which is what we want in the school holidays. It was going to be a cinematic masterpiece but that isn't what it is for. Now I can go to sleep entertained and full of popcorn. #minecraft

I haven't been talking about it much on social media because mostly I come here to escape but fitting a new kitchen is a fucking pain in the arse. And the novelty of living the camp kitchen experience in my own house is wearing very thin.

Ow! Don't have time for period pains today. Got DIY to do. FFS. If you need me I will be over here breathing through it like I am having a baby.
