Kind of incredible. I was just sitting down to write about how Starmer should be given credit for keeping us out of this mess when he does this. Unutterably foolish and obsequious. Why in God's name should we have anything to do with this shortsighted madness.

So Starmer is now allowing the US to use UK military bases to launch attacks on Iran. None of us want to be part of Trump's agenda... and Starmer doesn't appear to be able to say No to the guy.
When is this hell going to stop?

Did a foolish thing yesterday... I'm hypermobile, I knew that. Heard that putting your feet sole-to-sole with straight legs means hypermobile ankles. Yep, I could do it, but also dislocated the toe next to my big toe by trying it!
Had to push it back in, now got a huge bruise 🤣

Diversity dance group on stage with the word SOUL in bright white lights. Lots of lights, red tinted photo, and audience.

Diversity's Ashley Banjo after launching a fellow dance band member high in the air. The man hangs mid flip high on the stage as the photo is taken. Other dancers are on stage in various poses. Water rains down from sprinklers.

Went to Cardiff yesterday to see Diversity on tour at New Theatre. It was a beautiful show with great dancing and meaning. We definitely over did it, though, too soon after tonsillitis, but was worth it!

They were, but he handed it right back to them!

Where's this woman's sense of self? And I mean sense of awareness, self-awareness. She's got lots of sense of self, as in ambition, selfishness etc.

I love boats! Where are you on vacation?

A masterclass in confounding the interviewers by the interviewed! Beautifully done. The Greens have got my vote.

Been suffering with tonsillitis, after my oldest and youngest had it last week. I need it to be gone by tomorrow as were going away for the night and seeing a show!

I was diagnosed with autism at age 50, a year after my oldest child did. They were missed when they were younger, and just told they were hormonal. Ugh.

To be honest, most of my menopausal day is spent putting my jumper on and taking it off again... ad infinitum. *sigh*

Yep. We're decorating and colour drenching. Painting the walls and ceiling the same colour and using lots of similar accents. It makes such a difference! We've gone chocolate in the hall, reds to pinks in the bedrooms, and greens downstairs. Only done the hall and bathroom so far though.

Yep, all of them every day!

It's so soft and bouncy under foot.

They really are 💚

I have a thing for moss... and moss swathing trees is just gorgeous, in my local forests #SundayPixTrees 🌿🌲💚

That's a stunner!

I love your willow!

Dear Lucy Three weeks ago you wrote me a bizarre letter in an attempt to hold on to voters who Labour have for too long taken for granted in Gorton and Denton. First, I’d like to give my apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I've been busy on the ground with Hannah Spencer talking to voters about the issues that matter to them – lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services. You'll appreciate most of your letter is out of date now, but I'm sure you'll have seen the poll that came out today, that puts us in first place and Reform in second. Labour are a distant third and it’s now clearer than ever that your party cannot win in Gorton and Denton. If you are as concerned about stopping Reform as you proposed in your letter, the course is now clear: in the spirit in which you wrote to me, you should now urge your members and former voters to back Hannah Spencer on the 26th February to stop Reform and make hope normal again. Kind regards, Zack Polanski Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales P.S – Hannah looks forward to saying hi in Parliament!

Dear Lucy Powell,

A response to your letter:

Saw the doctor, got the examination over with, and will wait referral. I've been putting this examination off for a while, and I'm relieved to have a plan in place now. Huge thank you to my friend who pushed me to get this done 💜

You're not the only one 😔 Hugs

Been waiting 40 minutes in the surgery for a doctor's appt, and I'm really freaked out about this one. I wish it could be done already 😔

Happy Valentines everyone, we're having fun, and I'm drunk by now ❤️

That's understandable. Hope you have a good day, though!

I feel a little bit broken today, remembering mum, and wishing I'd had time, before her memory went, to talk about the things I've had to heal from since.

I was talking with Cait, today, and she said the last three months for us have been talking about death, and predominantly from cancer. And I know you've seen a fair bit yourself 😔 hugs back.

Thank you, it is, and I'm feeling really tearful today x

I didn't even know it's World Cancer Day today, either. I'm not sure about all these awareness 'days', but, I suppose if we talk about it, we can encourage checking ourselves and working towards even quicker diagnosis/treatment. Mum passed just over 9 years ago. It's hard remembering.
