Any #chess fans here? My 12 year old nephew would like a chess puzzles book for Christmas. Already has How To Win At Chess. I know absolutely nothing (loved the musical 😄) and would hugely appreciate some recommendations.

Just back from meeting @cazduthie.bsky.social and there was a LOT of talking 😄 We’re making plans for The Voiceover Business Lounge for 2025. You can find us over on that book for faces… come play!

That’s cheering. @mikebatt.bsky.social was a twitter highlight, and here he is 🤩

My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer.

Morning.

I am wasting far too much time on this and slightly losing my mind. Can you help?

Women’s Jeans.

Specifically:
✅ low waisted
✅ long legged, but not trailing in the mud (I’m 5ft8)
✅ “proper” denim blue.
✅ usable pockets

I don’t think I’m asking much, but after approx 40 pairs 😳apparently I am.

Me too. Then I decided it’s like an epic spring clean and hopefully the best people will reappear somewhere else 🤞🏻😢

Yet another place you need to be very careful about sensitive information. If you use Microsoft Word, check this post.

Finished my training at 11.45am this morning. Was stood outside in the sunshine approx. 30 seconds later. In my little part of the world it is exceptionally beautiful today.

Close to crying all day with my back playing up. But then I took a very slow stroll up the road and… all the colours, blue sky, actual sunshine ☀️

In the first instance, perhaps I should just post pictures of my cats. This is Topsy.

Speaking into the void here because I’ve not found my people yet. But… how do I find my people?? I was all over twitter years ago but can’t quite work out how to get started here. Er, and hello 😊

Feeling very sorry for myself this morning. I had an endometriosis flare overnight and still feeling rubbish this morning. HRT, endo, and ADHD make for a challenging combination and I’m tired today.

A bit of Brené wisdom for a Sunday.

May as well start as I mean to go on. Welcome from my enthusiastic Head of Wellbeing, Gilbert ☀️
