Can’t find the recipe thread from a few days back - I need to do actual baking 😱 for the MacMillan coffee morning at work. @mspmeyer.bsky.social do you have that amazing dark choc/pear scone recipe that you shared on Twitter yonks ago please?

Sounds like you’ve had what I’ve had, sending sympathy.
I’m intending to work tomorrow.
Yet to be decided if that will actually happen.

Given in to the lurgy & phoned in sick to work. Fed up of coughing and ripping my throat to shreds. 🤧🤒

I have no issue with good dancers; some have more natural talent than others, but when it’s been a huge part of his professional life to learn & perform dances I think it’s unfair.
I had the same issues with Ashley (Pusscat Doll) & Layton. Great dancers, but not (for me) in the spirit of the show.

Feeling quite salty that professional dancer Lewis (and to a lesser extent, Amber) is denying an opportunity to a non-dancer making progress.
Can’t deny his ability, and credit to him for not trying to hide his experience, but I don’t watch #Strictly for celebs who can already dance.

I don’t understand why some people enjoy spoiling things for others.

Edited screenshot of @grantsrivers spoiler post to show why I blocked him. There’s no need to be a bonfire-pisser, fella.

Some twat posting a spoiler on the #Strictly feed. I politely requested that he didn’t.
Left it 5 mins.
And then blocked him.

FYI Strictly people who also don’t want spoilers.

I'm really confused about the professional dancer from Billy Elliot who also was in a dance competition called Got to Dance now being on strictly and they are all just pretending like he is not a professional dancer with previous dancing experience. #strictly

If this is real, please use the spoiler hashtag.
Some of us want to find out live.

And if it’s not real. Why would you post it?

The way they keep emphasising the public vote is a bit of a giveaway for me.
But most of us want to watch someone develop and improve, so we won’t necessarily vote for the top scorer. The judges know this. The producers know this. I don’t know why they pretend to be surprised by it. #Strictly

My sympathy is also nowhere because her normal oven is right next to it.
How to make yourself look like a proper silly cow in a national newspaper 🙄

I thought it was just me! But I didn’t ask, because I figured if it was the # that was broken nobody* would see it anyway

*except those of my followers who haven’t got muted, which isn’t that many people

Yes I know the votes aren’t open yet. Won’t be voting for a ringer so 🤷🏻‍♀️ #Strictly

My votes: Vicky, Balvinder, Karen, Harry, Alex. Trusting the rest of you to vote for Ellie & George & LaVoix #Strictly

That was fantastic. Loved it Karen & Carlos #Strictly

I will be voting for Balvinder again. And Vicky as well. #Strictly

Yes it was excellent.
Yes he’s brilliant.
No I’m not voting for him. #Strictly

Mum: yeah he left home at 10 years old to do dancing in the West End

#Strictly #Ringer

Full of cold. Feeling crap. But #Strictly is on and I have bought some special medicine. It’s made out of grapes.

A pumpkin on a black marbled work surface, lit from the inside. It has pointy eyebrows and small eyes (I used a metal straw so they are perfectly round), with a triangular nose - point at the top, base slightly curved upwards - and a smiling mouth with two fangs coming up from the bottom

Not the most inspired, but I’m full of cold & I can’t stand pumpkin innards so here is my “effort” for this year 🎃 #Halloween

After successfully dodging covid a few weeks back, I have been infected by Ch3’s cold.
He’s buggered off back to uni feeling better & I’m sat trying to work while my brain turns to sludge.

Also almost just squeezed marmite into my coffee instead of honey.

A tree in a car park at night. In the foreground are some parked cars. On the left is a streetlight. The tree is centrally placed. Its leaves are a rich dark orange, and there are two further streetlights glowing through the branches and leaves making it appear that the tree has glowing eyes. And they are not friendly!

Was having a snack
Nearly choked laughing

Tasha wasn’t impressed yesterday when it tried to come in the house (bog-brush tail activated! Hissing!) & until I know it’s a) not really a stray and b) not infested with nasties it’s not coming in.
If it’s still there tomorrow we’re going to try & get it to the vet & see if it is chipped.

Growing suspicion that the International Cat Redistribution System may be kicking in.
There’s a quite small scruffy-looking (but very cute) calico cat been hanging out under our garden table & chairs the last couple of days. It does have a collar but is very thin so obvs I have fed it. #ProofOfCat

A large ball of yarn in shades of blue and purple

Found some yarn I’d forgotten about.
Time to add to my unfinished project tally! #crochet

My mum’s cousin has been my “Auntie Sheila” my whole life and English is my first language.
Honestly they’ll look for any old bollocks to justify their racism 🙄

Told ours that the burglar alarm sensors were Santa monitoring behaviour. Especially useful if the light flashed while they were being naughty.

Have you ever done the Brathay 10-in-10 ? My brother did it a few years back, it seems like the kind of madness you could get on with!

I feel this in my very soul
