Lovely! Although I suspect the daffodil-moth is more of a cricket.

Oh to be young and idealistic. The boomers have had years of experience and understand that ‘obey’ doesn’t wash when you’re trying to build a life with someone. That relationships are more complex and need more care.

Glorious band art, really takes me back to the heady days of indie in the '80s. Some great works here (love the Edwyn Collins! Great sketches).

Christ on a bike. That’s all we need.

Love a fancy sleeve <3

Heaven forbid we'd like a little control over our bodies.

Thank you. I needed that.

Yes, the casting was a surprise - but I'm glad they went with him regardless.

Agreed. But the last season was a corker! Looking forward to the new one.

Bring them home! And if they've broken any laws, charge them. But bring them home.

Oh no! Ashley's doing a splendid job. I love the new dynamic. Although Perez was pretty good.....and he's still in the new novels I think.

Not enough rain on Sunday for you?

DJT doesn't own the property, he's just licensing his name/brand. Bit like a franchise with a style guide.

You have to question the taste of any developer who believes that paying to have the Trump name on their property is a good idea.

The Nightingale, yes. A good film.

I couldn’t get through the Babadook. Great film but hit too close to home. And I found ‘Dancer in the Dark’ so traumatising, I regret seeing it at the cinema. Oh, Bjork. So much suffering.

Nature is healing.

We should just keep alternating gifs of Emma/Diana and Susannah because they are the universal crushes.

They don’t know how clothes should fit, and they won’t take advice from those who know better.

4 eva!

Bob and Shazza....true love forever.

Hand-Iced Japanese New Year Cookies This delightful photograph features an assortment of artisanal sugar cookies decorated with intricate royal icing, presented on a white scalloped plate. The central focus is two cookies shaped like elegant furisode (long-sleeved kimonos) in a soft pink gradient, complete with detailed obi sashes and tiny white floral accents at the hems. Surrounding them are various seasonal and geometric designs, including pink cherry blossoms, a white temari ball with yellow stripes, and a hexagonal cookie featuring a delicate lavender asanoha (hemp leaf) pattern. The icing is rendered with incredible precision, utilizing a pastel palette of blush pink, mint green, and pale violet to create a cohesive and celebratory aesthetic.

Sad. Used to be a fine newspaper, I subscribed for a long time but these days I don't even read the online version. Too tabloid.

Gemma and her husband have a lot of gall.

I wouldn't sue them, but I'd quietly tell everyone that you were disappointed that they let you pay for the flights and hotel and then didn't turn up, instead going off and enjoying the free holiday. Soon enough they'll be looking for a new social circle.

I do wonder what the men who post these silly opinions have actually achieved in their lives?

Probably not much, so they get vicarious pleasure from the achievements of others. I feel sorry for them, punching down to feel better about themselves.

Here's what I’m wearing to the Bluesky Valentines Day ball. How about you?
