Bumped into an old schoolfriend when I got to the hospital on Monday. I was looking for the loo, she was on her way out and about-turned to accompany me. It was just like being back at school walking that corridor arm-in-arm, and strangely comforting. We're still daft so we had a selfie 😆

As if I'm not having enough of *a day* with Bob and work (loosely), cat trap has now been set. Scraggy Cat has been in it but not far enough, however it's curious enough that I hope it'll happen quite quickly and we can get it seen to 🤞🏼

Oh no do NOT try to slag the staff off to me cos you can't sit next to your husband in the waiting area. He can still see and talk to you (as they are both painfully proving 🙄). It's their system. Patients one side, relatives on the other. It works for them. I'm sorry but deal with it, we are 😠

Journey home from work took a slight detour and Bob had to go in a green and yellow taxi 🙄 #lovetheNHS

BBC Sport Winter Olympic closing montage is GO!

Sat in Starbucks with Emma and hearing 'Seabird' in the wild for the first time ever 😁

If you Google 'Winter Olympics' Nazgul runs across the screen 😁

Starting dog prep, stuff to clean ready to donate to charity shop tomorrow (and one collection Friday but that's not dog-relate, that's just 'lets finally get rid of it'. Moved mini greenhouse down the garden... And not saying I've put a bed and food in it for Scraggy Cat, but I might have.

When you go to the retail park for a specific thing... And forget it, so you have to go back 🤦🏼‍♀️

YESSSSSSS Bruce! Go team👏🏼 #TeamGB #Curling

Give the good boi a medal! 🥇😊

Eek! Guide Dogs want to come and do the home check and book us in for our training, and want to know how soon after that we can take a dog 🐶

So half a day in a big shared office and it's not so bad. Everyone makes noise so it's not just us (and there's only half of us in this week anyway). Despite it being hot dealing we've all had to swap phones and laptop risers around to our dominant sides.

Just seen the scrawniest kitten on the garden 🥺 Can't tell whether it's missing some fur or is patchy in colour, and the cameras aren't on yet. I also can't work out whether it's got a ribbon/collar on that's too tight or again it's super-thin. It's also very timid, so I've put out some extra food🤞🏼

YESSSSSS! #teamgb #skeleton 🥇🥇

At last! Back in the happy place. Transplanted some bulbs from pots into the ground, saw a 🐞 and moved the Salix Flamingo from the fence to another spot to allow the wisteria some space. Hope it's OK! 🤞🏼

Blue tit in pissing down rain yesterday vs blue tit in sunshine today

Awww RIP Palmerston the Diplomog 😿

YESSSSSS!! #goldmedal 🥇

COME ON MATT!! #olympics #skeleton #teamgb 🇬🇧

Post a tree you photographed

Had it dropped on us today that from next week we're going to be sharing office space with the 2 other placement teams in a different building, on a Weds. In classic style it went out via the shared Teams channel before our manager told us all 🙄 But it'll mean more daylight than we're used to!

FFS doctors cancelled due to illness so another week to wait before I can switch HRT (hopefully 🤞🏼).

YES! #teamGB #curling

We have assumed the position #olympics2026

♥️

As if I just dropped straight into a hospital parking space! The smugness 😐

My dad would have been 88 today, and in 3 weeks he'll have been gone 15 years (wtf?!) 💔🥹

Phew, feel soooooooo much better today!

Gonna need some sunshine man to get me through the day please #rhysdarbyfaction

Being able to amend bank/card payments in most banking apps and HSBC having a signable PDF document that you have to send, is ridiculous.

As if this little munchkin is 21 today! Totally upstaged us at our wedding in his suit #nephew 🎂🎉🥳

January 2026 #1se

Haven't worn my varifocals for work since pre-Covid because I got too used to wearing single-vis intermediates at home where I'm closer to my work screens. Now trying to tune my eyes in for work because I'm needing them more for everyday and swapping glasses all the time is a pain. Also walking

Robin getting to grips with the hanging feeders. I've moved the smaller feeder from the bottom of the garden (where I can't see it from the house) and stuck it in the willow. Blue tits and others love the willow as well and there was a pair on the nuts most of the afternoon as a result.

Had my first-ever NHS Over40 (+13) health check this morning. Just a series of questions, BP and bloods drawn (bonus thyroid check as was overdue) and menopause chat isn't being implemented yet (April I think) so wasn't discussed 🤷🏼‍♀️ BP was perfect though 🥳

Someone(thing) had fun with the feeders last night but of course 2 of the cameras were upstairs charging so I missed whatever shenanigans were going on 🙄

Annoying Bob as I reel off all the Julia Donaldson/Axel Scheffler books that have been adapted for TV for a #houseofgames question. Room on the Broom is my favourite and the best.

Lovely day of pinched nerves, tension headacheyness, clenched jaw/TMJ and my brain telling me it's something worse. FFS stop it 🧠

Managed to pull my neck during the night so yay for me #menopause

FFS. Ordered a pair of earrings, nothing has arrived. Checked with seller, tracking shows delivered Saturday. Checked tracking myself, yep delivered. Then noticed the tracking map showed Birmingham; I'm not in Birmingham? Back on to the site to msg seller... And spotted my friend's address from the

Signs of #SpringIsComing

Ready for doing the #biggardenbirdwatch tomorrow. Was out with mum most of the day so topped up too late for any takers except the squirrel, whose own feeder was also topped up but apparently it preferred the bird seed 🙄

Mysterious yellow orb seen in sky

Neighbour across the road has got a skip, and seems to be just using it as a bin at the moment. On Xmas Day she/her kids just chucked all their wrapping paper in it loose, which the wind then redistributed all over the road. Now it's overflowed and is again being redistributed by the weather 🙄

It's the #biggardenbirdwatch this weekend, what are the odds I see *anything* feathered between tomorrow and Sunday?

January slump is hitting hard this week 😩

My aurora app has been on red alert all day so I'm hoping tonight will be better than last night and there'll be enough breaks in the cloud to see something 🤞🏼 #aurora
