How lovely! I had no idea: sounds delicious.

Rightio, we’ll find one. Keep using mouthwash.

“That’s very nearly a ballroom.”

Heh, just this minute converted a cashback app balance to a voucher to buy my old boy’s sachets.

Food people in my phone, your food looks lovely. I want to eat it. I don’t want to see you eating it. I know how to eat. Also, that shake / sundae / cocktail looks ever so nice in its glass. It doesn’t need to spill down the sides. Burger contents, too, can stay inside the bun.
Yrs, with the ick.

Ach, Ruby. Apparently released when I was six. I suspect I was staying with my considerably older sister when it was first shown on British telly and nope.

Nope.

Housebound’s on iPlayer right now. It’s my comfort watch.

Reading some northern hemi sadness at packing away summer clothes & am relieved to be unhampered enough by either fashion sense or taste in general to find wearing a light frock with woolly tights and a big jumper acceptable and encouraged. Also, Autumn beats summer, so.

Nadia from London has an idea that sounds such fun you'll be booking a day out asap. "I've always loved museums," she says, "but they can be overwhelming for children. For decades now, I've done something called 'playing postcards' We do the museum backwards, visiting the gift shop first. Each child gets to choose three postcards. Then they take it in turns to find that particular artwork in the museum and give us a little information about the piece from the details on the postcard, or from any gallery plaque. At the end of this treasure-hunt-style activity, we vote for our favourite in the cafe."

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries

Utterly sublime name.

Olia Hercules (Strong Roots), Felicity Spector (Bread & War) and Nic Miller discuss their books, and the resilience and bloody-minded hope of food and reparative nature. The venue was the lovely Unitarian Meeting House in Bury St Eds, to which this pic does no justice at all.

Lucky to top off a Suffolk week with @oliahercules.bsky.social and @felicityspector.bsky.social in conversation with @nicmiller.bsky.social as part of @burylitfest.bsky.social The heart, hope, family histories, food, friends, fight and spirit of Ukraine Thank you, all🇺🇦🌻

See, it’s just inflicting torment at the stage.

It’s a fat bear post- hibernation. Have the traditional cheese and pickle baps and homemade fruitcake, but the road is so shite they are staying put til we clear it. And it’s not a maritozzi. Thanks for the heads-up.

Blimey. Hungry, on a grotty M62 en route to an adjacent village for a week. Guess where I’ll be dragging my mother.

Tony Harrison and Brian Patten within a couple of days. That’s a snug 89 to 92 Bretton Hall nest on my bookcase. Travel well, both, and thank you 💚

I, inconveniently, do not.

Apparently same price on Kobo. My absolute favourite read of last year. It’s a balm. I cannot write reviews, my head just goes blurblurblur, but there is no better way to splash 99p.

Oh, he’s never died. Mes den hep tapas a gollas y dyr. Vale, Tony, and thank you. I’ll not forget 💚

What is “stop petting her?”

Many happy returns to your lovely mum 🌼

For Interesting Holidays would absolutely work for me.

Love.

Might start a jigsaw.

Pic of my feet next to a sandy plaque installed in paving. Main plaque text reads “Filming for the Disney+ Series Star Wars: Andor, took place here in May 2021. Titular character Cassian Andor was apprehended by Imperial Stormtroopers at this very spot. He was just a tourist!”

Had a 💯 Blackpool overnighter for Harry Hill reasons (30 yrs since we first saw him for our first together thing).
Went a couple of miles up the coast this morning, following some Andor info. This being filmed at Thornton-Cleveleys is the weirdest.
He was just a tourist, Disney+. Just a tourist.

The olive eye pencil. I’ve stashed a spare.

So happy they’re here. Missed this therapy.

Something something absolutely furious something something something.

Just had to ring mum to warn her her second crush has gone this year, and on her birthday. She feels both sad and validated in her belief that RR noticed her all along. Try harder, Terence.

Somehow I know you’ll get that, with his sister in the mix, that’s been the last three domestic decades.
