So, do we “flit” or “flutter” here?

They wore masks.

BigSister @bigsister.bsky.social · 14h

And the handwashing was largely irrelevant. Many scientists already had taken aboard how Covid is transmitted and were urging masking - which Johnson resisted until it was sadly far too late.

BigSister @bigsister.bsky.social · 14h

Yet others like me were scrambling to order good masks from early January for my household when it became clear what was coming our way. Took many weeks for them to arrive, but they certainly helped save our lives.

But we all remember how little my it took for her to dare to go upstairs 😀

That's quite the sky!

I suspect they forgot their glasses in the voting booth.

BigSister @bigsister.bsky.social · 2d

I, btw, am well over 50 and voted Remain.

(I should add, too, that the older you are the more you remember the old stories about butter mountains, etc, that made some hostile in the early years of membership, but who forgot how things settled down and the advantages received from our membership. Much stoked by hostile dumb Conservatives)

BigSister @bigsister.bsky.social · 2d

I think this was as much about how many people over 50 went out to vote as anything else. Farage/VoteLeave focussed on them. Apathy (and lies) won the referendum

Have you seen this thread? Seems like there is a strategy behind this and it’s very scary

PS Turning Point would seem to be a massive danger for the future of the US.

BigSister @bigsister.bsky.social · 2d

You might want to read this thread on X. It is very enlightening- and scary - but a must read to get insight into the strategy

Sorry to have to share this but this evidence that the leader of the free world has gone insane is apparently not newsworthy to the BBC, the Times etc

Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America

Such a lovely photo of you & your sister. Given that she has gone, it must feel doubly precious. I cherish the photos I have of my family - and even the ones of me as a young child. It helps keep me grounded.
And seeing your grandchildren (as we do) I am always struck by their likeness to you.

BigSister @bigsister.bsky.social · 3d

You are so right about this. I’ve taken to printing off some of my favourite photos - I can’t bear to think I’ll lose them. Just finding them on a phone or other device can take hours!

“I’m a good girl, mum”

She’s debating whether to chew her bed again once she’s got over the early exercise

BigSister @bigsister.bsky.social · 6d

Who, me?

BigSister @bigsister.bsky.social · 7d

Beautifully told. Thanks for sharing

Life on X has just got more surreal as I find myself arguing with Grok (who, btw, is clearly tutored by his Master Elon)😂🤣

BigSister @bigsister.bsky.social · 8d

Glad to hear that your back shows some improvement

BigSister @bigsister.bsky.social · 8d

Last night’s death wasn’t suicide, if I listened correctly

He wouldn't survive 5 minutes on the London Tube.
