Thinking of my beloved Nana Betty, who passed away 2 years ago. She would have loved the VE Celebrations this weekend. This is the picture of her, aged 21 in 1946 - she gave it to her fiancé Jim before he went off to fight in the war. Sadly I never met my Granddad but I miss my Nana so very much ❤️

Lovely afternoon, evening, night spent at the neighbours (Friendbours? Neighfriends?) Lucky enough with the weather that we could sit in the garden from 1pm to 11.30pm but it got a bit chilly towards the end, despite the lovely firepit!

One whole year has passed since I've seen this beautiful little face. I still miss you every single day, my precious Little Darcy. 💔💔

I've just finished The Art of Hiding by @amandaprowse.bsky.social in just over one day and oh my goodness, it's another absolute corker. And I finished this one with a warm, happy smile rather than an ugly cry like the last one! I can't recommend these books highly enough. 📚

This afternoon I finished reading This One Life by the wonderful @amandaprowse.bsky.social. I certainly didn't expect it to make me ugly cry - such a moving and joyous book. Highly recommended. 📚 #IamReading

Set myself the challenge of reading 50 books this year. 20th Jan and I'm getting stuck into book 8. So far so good! 📚

We're very late to the Gangs of London series, but it's absolutely brilliant. But it's definitely not for you if you can't watch gratuitous violence. Honestly, it's quite an eye opener to see how many people can be hacked to pieces by a machete in just one hour.

When you're snuggled up in the dark watching a horror film, what you don't want is for the TV to decide to turn itself off, plunging you into total darkness. No power cut, just the TV. Turning itself off. Needless to say, we're watching the rest of the film with the light on 💡

Well for me 2024 has been, for want of a better phrase, absolutely fucking awful. Let's hope 2025 brings better, more positive vibes for us all. Happy New Year to you all. ❤️ #HappyNewYear

Bloody hell, this Christopher Reeve documentary on Sky is a tough watch. But what an absolute hero he was - of course I love Henry Cavill, but Christopher Reeve will always be my #Superman

All last week, I was feeding my neighbour's cat, Indie. On Christmas Day, we walked and then took in our other neighbour's dog, Poppy for a few hours. And yesterday we walked our other neighbour's dog, Elsie. I love being an auntie to my neighbour's pets but I miss my own two doggos so, so much. 😞 💔

Honestly, this couple on Escape to the Country are looking to move from Twickenham to the Surrey Hills?? Are they taking the piss? This episode should be called Escape 5 Minutes Down the Road.

Shrinking is such a great TV programme. Funny and heartbreaking in equal measure.

We're watching 'Girl You Know It's True' about the Milli Vanilli story. The best line so far is from Rob Pilatus - "Hey, I am hip hop. I'm all about the beat, okay?"

It's been a hell of a week! 16 hours of overtime in 4 days. Saturday off and then working again on Sunday. But for now I'm in my Oodie, snuggled on the new sofa with my hubby, watching the new Day of the Jackal series, which really is very good, btw.

It appears that some days, I'm just not emotionally prepared to watch Bernie Clifton's Dressing Room. Today is one of those days. 💔

For 25+ years, I have written as a hobby, to relax & escape job stress etc.Since losing both my dogs this year, I have lost my writing mojo.I mean I really can't be arsed. I have 3 unfinished projects that I'd love to get stuck into but my enthusiasm is at rock bottom. I'm annoyed with myself 😒

Over 30 years ago Timothy West and Prunella Scales almost ran me over as I was crossing Vardens Road in Battersea in front of their car - totally my fault for not paying attention. But they both gave me a nice smile and a wave. Rest in peace, Mr West. #RIPTimothyWest

We've lost both of our beautiful fur babies this year - Darcy (on the left) in January and Wilson in June, just 21 weeks later. My heart is still broken 💔

We lost our beautiful boy Wilson yesterday. He was 13 and a half and it was his time but we're just shattered. I'm going to miss him so, so much. Goodbye Wilson, you beautiful, precious soul. Thank you for choosing us to spend your life with. We will love you forever 💔💔💔

My Wilson is almost 13, he has bad arthritis in his back legs, he's completely deaf, he has cataracts and doggie dementia. But when he sleeps, I still see him as my little puppy. ♥️
