Kyiv.
Late evening.
Air defence is shooting down drones.
I say it like,
“The weather is fine outside, just cloudy.”

That’s what four years have done to us.

Protect peace.
Don’t let war become normal.

Yum! Just made these and they're delicious. Happy St David's Day 🌼

Bluesky. I think my husband hates me. He just called me when he knows I'm on a train 😳

Oops 🤦🏻‍♀️

100g bag of fresh coriander

I cooked this today and we found the coriander a little overpowering. I put in a huge bag! Did I do something wrong?

If we don't, I think we should #WeLoveHashtags

The local news there (Lewisham) reported that she was a prison officer before moving to be a probation service officer. It's like an unqualified probation officer. I don't mean that disparagingly, I used to be a PSO back in the day.

I looked into this the other day and I don't think she was a probation officer

I show you Kyiv.
I tell you about our life here.
Slowly, I’m getting back to educating you about Ukraine.
We survived this winter (it seems).

Of course, there will be more attacks, more challenges.

I’ll do my best to remind you that we are more than this bloody war.

‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, i...

I have to wonder would travel insurance cover the cost of the additional medication I'd need? That's assuming I'd be allowed access to medication whilst detained which is a big assumption. I couldn't take the risk.

Oh I didn't know we could leave a space blank 🤦🏻‍♀️

What was he thinking with this appointment? Just awful.

The whole civil service will now be managed as well as the Ministry of Justice has been in recent years.

Including the sell off of probation despite the risk to the public. That did not work out well. Urgh what an awful appointment here by Starmer. What was he thinking? 🤦🏻‍♀️

a man with dreadlocks says it 's pancake day ALT: a man with dreadlocks says it 's pancake day

Happy Pancake Day Bluesky! This year we have a choice of (i) mango and passion fruit coulis (ii) maple syrup and (iii) good old lemon and sugar

Ooh I am, thank you. It's half term so no school run and had a bit of a lie in! Hope you have a lovely day

I took the opposite approach and spent the evening working, with the intention to have a lazy morning. Not sure I made the right call... if only I'd thought of gin and nuggets as an option!

I mean, well, definitely don't use it after all these years.

Antonia Romeo is the wrong choice for Cabinet secretary. A government which was serious about improving its performance would not select her.

Posher accents than mine that's for sure. I've just looked ours up and we get Alan Dedicoat.

Apparently Shabana Mahmood, Jess Phillips, and Baroness Ruth Hunt were in the same year as me or the year above / below. Can you tell I went to an all girls' school?

I don't know... sharing a lift with Liz Truss is borderline interesting. Where were you going?
