Hello #BlueSky. I'm a 54, living with an energy limiting illness #LongCovid. I used to be a runner and long distance hiker, among other things. I am fortunate to be well enough to work, and sometimes well enough to still have adventures, I usually pay for them with long periods of ill health. 1/2

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo. I am actually gutted about this. This was SUCH a good series, I was so excited for more. Not cool Paramount. Not frickin' Cool. #Dexter #OriginalSin #Resurrection

Paramount Just Killed Off Its Franchise-Saving Prequel Despite Already Renewing It for Season 2

Dexter fans are in for a shock, as the acclaimed prequel Original Sin will not be back for Season 2 despite already getting greenlit.

honestly cannot say enough about the wonderful work this charity does for wildlife in Kenya. Out every day to treat injured animals, rescue orphaned animals and prevent poaching. I am in awe of their hard work and passion. #SheldrickWildlifeTrust

Happy Monday #BlueSky. A day off for me on my new 4 day working week shifts (which I am LOVING so far - highly recommend). Been out for a walk with Bella and now back to #WorldChampionshipSnooker and a little blogging maybe.

Now it's back to #WorldChampionshipSnooker and catching up with #ZhaoXintong 's match from this morning. He is definitely my new favourite. What a talent! Reminds me of #StephenHendry in his prime days - the first snooker player to really grab my attention.

Finally got around to watching S02E02 of #TheLastofUs, wow that was a brutal episode wasn't it. Also thrilled to see #RaceAcrosstheWorld is back. Someone once asked me to apply to that with them, I watched it and I got hooked. Then COVID and #LongCovid happened & we never applied. Maybe one day.

How is everyone's Saturday shaping up? I've tackled some housework, working on my websites & watching #snooker. I used to be an avid fan, but lapsed over the last 20 years - though I still watch now and again. Boy you know you are old when there are older players you have never even heard of!

In other news, how is it 12pm already! I was waking up at 9am just a few minutes ago I am sure

Thank you! 👍♥️

Well, thanks to Trump and his lunatic tariffs, the pension I am due to claim from this year, has decreased in value by 20%! 20 frickin percent. That's a massive loss. And I need the pension to plug a small gap in the pay drop I am about to incur by taking a job that is better for my health. #sucks
