Clare Thorp @clarethorp.bsky.social · 30/08/2025These kits are SO terrible. What the hell? It’s like Nike saw that tennis was becoming cool again and was like, not on our watch. 010
Clare Thorp @clarethorp.bsky.social · 08/02/2025Yeah sometimes I don’t seem to get any at all. When I do it’s usually only one speedy one. Unlike NOW TV which bombards you with the same ad every 10 minutes. 010
Clare Thorp @clarethorp.bsky.social · 08/02/2025Been pleasantly surprised by the cheapo ad tier - not nearly as many ads as I expected. 2100
Clare Thorp @clarethorp.bsky.social · 18/01/2025I’m really sorry. The older I get, the more I realise kindness is the most important quality. And so nice that someone can say that about their life. 010

Clare Thorp @clarethorp.bsky.social · 28/12/2024I’m so sorry. I lost my dog last year and it was so hard. They’re always there by our side, and when they’re not there’s such a void. Sending love. 110

Clare Thorp @clarethorp.bsky.social · 24/11/202411. Considering I’d just woken up from one of those naps that’s gone on slightly too long and tipped into the what time/day/month/year is it territory, seeing Novak’s instagram post had me wondering if I was actually even awake. 110
Clare Thorp @clarethorp.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Ah I saw this years ago and it was so amazing. I didn’t realise it was still running. I had a bit of a crap “dinner break” though… think I went to Pret. 100
