Do you remember the pots we kept film roll in?

My Aunty Bella always used to use them as Xmas gifts: filled with pound coins, wrapped up like #Christmas crackers.

They were handy stocking fillers.

I have a blood sugar monitor: the test strips for it come in similar pots.

#Hogswatch is coming …

I’ve now put up the new Venetian blinds over the back window.

The exciting things you find yourself doing when you’re indoors on a rainy Sunday is astounding

It’s official, Bluesky.

Today’s #DailyTeaser #quiz is now out.

I make it a point of pride to *not* use #AI to write the questions.

What happened there?

I don’t know!
