In our happy Lake District place for a few days. Out with the dog after tea and not a soul around.

These days, if you’re a housewife on YouTube making butter from scratch (?!!) you get arrested and thrown in jail…
A housewife can't even make butter from scratch on YouTube with being accused of " internalised misogyny " ... but a burka is fine….

Our first visit to Norway this week Oslo first and Bergen from Thursday. It's quite a place, proper buzzing with life.
Then the Lake District next week to see our friends. Life is certainly good at the moment

Thoughts and prayers with the whole Reform "Doge" thing - which has aged, overnight, like a bucket of tripe and pickled herring in a festival portaloo.

The sad thing about this Labour immigration policy over care workers is no one worries about care worker shortages until their have a loved one who needs care.

And that’ll be me.

The rest just want to see less forrins.

What a shit, short sighted, selfish country we are.

How long have people been calling tweets on here bloots? I like bloots. ‘She just blooted it out’ sounds good to me.
End of bloot.

Since announcing my diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer a few weeks ago I’ve become increasingly aware of how misunderstood the condition is.

So I want to debunk a few misconceptions:

A snippet of something I wrote that encapsulates how I feel most of the time now.

Full thing here: www.sanspress.com/the-archive-...
You lay on the couch and cough and scroll through ads, and pictures of people you used to know better, and ads, and news of calamity, pictures of torn-apart trees and torn-apart children and ads, and ads, and ads until your throat clenches and your chest strains. You race to the bathroom, double over the sink, and heave.

Just like much of the furore this week, here is an example of a law passed 4 years ago and the Tories did nothing with it. Within months of us being in power we delivered the scheme because we are about actual actions and real outcomes. They talked we walked. www.burytimes.co.uk/news/2484314...

Small oil pastel painting of a boiling Cornish sea at Sennen cove. Called Rhapsody in blue the deep ultramarines and glorious turquoises are juxtaposed with the dark rocks and snowy white froth of the sea - against a grey sky punctuated with pinks and yellows

Of course the right wing howler monkeys have gone nuts at Sadiq Khan being honoured.
Didn’t hear a peep when it was Charlotte Johnson, Shaun Bailey, Hannan, Coffey, Cameron, Frost…
You know…*actual* failures, non-entities, losers and liars who’ve done untold damage to our democracy and our country.

It’s time for THE charger.

Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU.

It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need!

#DigitalEU
A minimalist illustration showing a packaged charger box labeled "one Union one Charger." The box features an image of a blue charger with the European Union flag symbol and a USB-C cable. The scene is set within a holiday theme, with decorative Christmas trees, ornaments, and gift boxes surrounding the charger box. In the top right corner, there is a small EU flag symbol.

Ok so Trump won again, Musk is buying up democracy, media is overdosing on Farage and Tory sour grapes…
BUT
We kicked the Tories out, the right is split, Brexit hovers over the shredder, Trump and Musk will trip up over their monstrous egos and we moved to Bluesky.

There’s always hope.
Cheers all🎄🥂
