Currently @lucyworsley.bsky.social and I are on a break as there's a new series of Digging for Britain with @profaliceroberts.bsky.social don't tell @wmarybeard.bsky.social that I have 2 other fiercely intelligent historians on the go though, as I don't want to risk her ire.
Just looked him up, fab!
Yep, that's the Irish for you. Thomas Sheridan is my 6 x Great Granduncle.
I recently found out that I'm related to Sheridan La Fanu whilst doing my family tree, was a total thrill.
If you ever want to experience a home lobotomy because you can't be arsed to reach for the remote, I highly recommend 4 hours of back to back Escape to The Country on a fringe Freeview channel.
How your email finds me.
Girls, remember if you want to bag the man of your dreams, go on the game and do nasty things on a Steinway grand.
I know it's become fashionable to knock Love Actually over the last few years but I've always thought it was excreable. Every now and then I have to rewatch it just to remind myself just how f*cking weird and creepy it is. Happy Christmas.
@profbriancox.bsky.social has just informed me that weight is essentially unimportant in the ocean *moves immediately to the ocean.
I think Spotify just called me a queer nerd, is this a hate crime?
🤣
And I was 8 😥
Can't wait! It will make me realise how ancient I'm getting though.
Watching Jim Henson's The Storyteller, this is proper Sunday hug television, also can we start a petition to bring John Hurt back to life?
Watching #Nativity wondering why the sequel wasn't a massive safeguarding inquiry.
Absolutely, applaud them don't deride them. I speak as a survivor of DA by my ex husband who has directly experienced victim blaming.
This country has a real issue with victim blaming and it makes me furious. The amount of comments I've read about why the people around Gregg Wallace didn't come forward sooner is bizarre. There are direct correlations here around the blaming/ shaming survivors of DV/VAWG experience. #GreggWallacd
Watching Gregg Wallace unravel his career via social media is perplexing. Where's the self reflection and contrition? If he genuinely feels he's done nothing wrong he deserves to watch his career slip away.
This makes me want to rush to Paris and give every French person I see a sloppy kiss on both cheeks. What an AMAZING achievement www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...
Tedders, my wee blind Pekingnese rescue. I'm totally in love with this boy.
Relaxing in my shed 😊
This regency gentleman is half living and half skeleton. From the fabric of his jacket to the inner workings of his neck, the statue is packed with tiny details. The hat works on both sides though! Made from coloured wax. 19th cent. From Science Museum.
Have booked to see Wicked on Monday, hopefully leaving it till after the weekend will have meant all the other gays have calmed the f*ck down 😂 #Wicked
This is my garden reading room and office and I adore it. Would love to see your reading or contemplation spaces. #readingroom #gardenroom #booknook #readingnook
Fun listen on the BBC Radio 4 Food Programme on the role of food in Children's literature. Interesting to reflect as a child of the 80's on the impact of rationing and deprivation in the books I was reading and loved. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... #childrensliterature
Oh gosh I'm in bits. Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter's story and your loss in such an open way. I am sending love to you and I truly hope people will reflect on how GC rhetoric costs lives 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️
Please signpost my account to anyone my story might resonate with. It doesn’t have a happy ending . Alice is gone and I’m forever changed. But my story, our story will be told. It gives me purpose to aim to help others and prevent future deaths 🙏

These furry idiots are 2 of the best decisions I ever made.
As I consider deactivating X/twitter for good I was reflecting on some of the great memories. I think this direct message from a total hero Nile Rodgers and being blocked by Cher are my top 2. What were yours?
Oh Christ, the Illuminati are already here and trying to recruit me 😒
