Don't really use this, it's time really! I'm still in the other place, and there isn't really time to post regularly on yet another platform. I feel like BlueSky hasn't really caught on the way we thought it would?

Haven't logged in here for a while. Reluctant to leave the other shithole... feel that some of us have to keep the lights on! Has this place caught on, or was it just a fleeting thing???

So effortlessly funny, and so goddamn handsome. I was obsessed with Whose Line for years, and completely besotted with #TonySlattery 💔

No. Lego don’t sell light kits, but there are some good third party kits available. Very fiddly though!

Pray for me, told Tom we’d fit LED lights into the Concorde before wall mounting it. 😫😫😫

A good New Year’s resolution too. Kids are an awful waste of time.

A knife that's just been used to slice bread can go back in the drawer. Bread doesn't count.

2024 was not a 'rollercoaster'. At best, it was a rusty swing that eventually collapsed, injuring several children. The owner of the swing will never be prosecuted, because that would be antisemetic. But a new swing will be installed in 2031 at a cost of €4.7 billion.

Resolutions: are they ever a good idea? Had this exact same experience with crisps a few years ago.

For someone who ADORES the magic of Christmas and the December run up, I can’t get the tree down fast enough after new year.

There is something quite satisfying and quietly smug about being up early and unhungover on New Year’s Day. 😜❤️

(Full disclosure: the last time I went out on NYE was in my early 20’s. Very quickly worked out it was not for me….).

Happy Christmas everyone! And if it’s not your bag, or you just need to get through it, it’ll be tomorrow soon. X
