1. Lots of love on FB for the last piece I wrote, incl an encouraging comment from my hairdresser ๐๐ฅฐ
2. My son introduced me to a new indie band today: hello Sleepzoid youtu.be/rhwEIbYXU7I?...
3. Grabbed a pic of this tree, it might be called Witchesโ Fingers, if not it should be!
About to check out episode 5.. I was a bit thrown by episode 4!
08.02.2026 21:17 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0How does this work with delivery vans, tradesman, bin lorries, getting shopping in, visitor parking etc? I donโt necessarily think this is a bad idea - my parents loved living in an estate like this in 1960s London. I just donโt know how people manage

08.02.2026 17:39 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Dorothy Bryne, former head of #C4News "People keep saying this story is about women, and all they do is talk about men"
"What's intolerable is how these men are making out that they are the victims"
"They've all been having the most terrible time"
I was okay once I washed it down with gallons of water and took some Gaviscon
Itโs just a bit of a pain! Pun intended ๐
I wish more people would share programmes, music etc that they watch and like - thatโs always good for broadening horizons too

Thatโs great to hear

08.02.2026 10:33 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Very interesting, especially as I knew nothing about co-regulation when my children were growing up: I didnโt even know my son was autistic for years: he seemed just like the rest of the family, only more volatile

I was a kid in the 1980's in #Tallaght, this song is the soundtrack to that.

Pic shows a man and a woman in two blue canoes on either side of a canal batting a blue and yellow between them using their paddles! The canal water is grey and sage green and there is green grass and bushes and trees on each side of the canal
