Finished this yesterday and now I'm obv completely invested in Henry VII being the real person behind the disappearance of the Princes in the Tower. 💙📚

thanks for the heads up, he seems to be the most self-righteous arsehole. Blocked him.

Actually made these. Golden syrup cans.

It's a special kind of marketing brain that chooses to name a solar-powered lantern 'Lunar'.

Oh Beryl, I related to her SO much.

Has your Goodreads been hacked @unamccormack.bsky.social or is this genuine?!

Excellent thread. Introverts can be people people too! It's just exhausting.

I've recently got a smart speaker and I'm listening to lots more radio, mainly radio 3. It lowers my anxiety levels. Nothing to do with age AT ALL.

I've become a regular listener of Petroc Trelawny on radio 3. Feel that this is some sort of life stage.

I love mine, it's so satisfying when you get a barrowful of brown crumbly goodness out of it.

@michaelspicer.bsky.social has a brilliant take on this type of programme:

It's perfect for Eurovision and sounds much more apt than any of the random tunes we've entered in recent years.

Have you had any? I think it's finally moved on from here now.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on here, but if we're talking Eurovision, this is absolutely the thing.

Current precipitation is definitely on the snow end of the sleet spectrum. 😨

I quite liked the Sullivans. Got completely traumatised by an episode of Armchair Theatre one sickday afternoon, however.

Sat and watched Pipkins, Rainbow, Crown Court, Farmhouse Kitchen, Paint Along With Nancy and The Sullivans.

A sort of living death, especially the bloody Sullivans.

An "unfathomable crime", as if it's a unique event.

Says a lot, given Reform are in charge here.

Just now finished my first viewing. It really is a gem.

Could never get the hang of Thursdays etc.

Maybe they just want to make sure noone can accuse them of it...
