Sunday morning: watching politicians discuss the Spring Budget like it’s a murder mystery. Just say what you’re doing with the money. We’ve got plans to cancel.

#SpringBudget #PoliticsUK #JustSayIt

Plans for today: nothing urgent, nothing important, and I’m okay with that

Work week: complete. Brain: offline. Weekend mode: activated.

Sure it does!! Keep shining.

Rise and shine! Or just rise. No pressure to shine this early

Think I’d have to narrow it down to season 7 of the simpsons. Too many episodes to do them all

The world feels different at night—quieter, slower, a little more mine

Me: I should get an early night.
Also me at 1 AM: How did medieval peasants do their laundry? 🤔

Supposed to be warm tomorrow, which means Brits will be out in shorts and firing up the BBQ—even if it’s only 12°C. Commitment to the cause is unmatched. #SpringHasSprung

There are two types of book lovers:

📖 Those who finish one book before starting another.

📚 Absolute chaos gremlins stacking half-finished books like a literary Jenga tower.

Be honest—which one are you? 👀 #BookSky #ReadingHabits

On this day in 1762, New York City held its first St. Patrick’s Day parade. And 262 years later, people are still using it as an excuse to drink. Some traditions never die. #StPatricksDay

Productivity tip: Spend 20 minutes organizing your to-do list so you don’t actually have to start working yet. #WorkSmartNotHard #ToDoList

Happy positive man on the left. Someone sleeping on the right.

Sunday night mindset:

Next week, I will be productive. I will eat healthily. I will get enough sleep.

Monday morning mindset: No

Half-term fun so far: Museum, library, Pokémon shopping, and swimming… plus way too much sugar and screen time (and that’s just me). 😅 Loving the time off, but clearly not getting much work done. Good thing I’m WFH! What’s everyone else up to this week? #HalfTermAdventures #ParentLife

#SundayDebate My son got into trouble for using ChatGPT to brainstorm ideas for school. A lot of people here seem a bit anti-AI, but can be useful for so many things. AI’s here to stay—are schools ready for this? Should we be embracing it or holding back? #AIinSchools #FutureOfEducation

Cool. I’ll check it out. What is it you love?

Both sound intriguing! I’m always down for a gripping YA with a twist, and Kiss of the Fur Queen sounds like it’s leaving a big impression. How are you finding the pace and tone in both?

Sunday is for getting lost in a good book, and I’m currently reading The Song of Achilles. What about you? Share your Sunday reads! #SundayReads #BookTok

Book 14 of 2025: Victory City by Salman Rushdie ⭐⭐⭐⭐. My first Rushdie read, and I get why he’s so highly regarded. The blend of history and myth is rich and engaging, though not always the easiest read. Thought-provoking and unique definitely curious to explore more of his work #BookSky #ReadingSky

Wolfsong by TJ Klune. A bit outside my usual genre, but was curious if it lived up to the hype. While it didn’t fully click for me, I can see why so many love it—immersive writing, deep emotions, & strong found-family theme. Worth checking out if you like emotional character-driven fantasy! #BookSky

Exactly! If the Romans had Zoom meetings, they might’ve never conquered anything.

Such an incredible find! The preservation is amazing, especially considering how perishable leather is. The Thames really is a treasure trove of history. What’s the most surprising thing you’ve learned from these discoveries?

Sounds like the purr-fect lunch spot! You might end up with a milk and tuna combo for lunch too if those kitties have their way.

How exciting! Edinburgh is such a literary hub, and Scotland’s rich history makes it the perfect backdrop for a book. What’s one thing about Scotland that really shaped your new book, Sceptred Isle?

There is a whole channel for that?!?

What are people doing right now? I’m sitting outside a PTA meeting—living the dream. Anyone got something more boring or something that’ll make me jealous? #BoredomLevelMax

I always seem to end up with Tel in FM!
