Irene @derbren.bsky.social · 1hthey’re all broken, pretty much until you get to your gate. Then you may find one or two . If you land at Stansted there’s nothing. you basically have to buy water from WHSmith 120

Irene @derbren.bsky.social · 1hmeeting a decent, interesting, attractive man who has his shit together is almost as hard as finding a functioning water fountain at Stansted airport 6230

Irene @derbren.bsky.social · 20hchanterelles ❤️❤️❤️ love them. with cream and parsley. or in an omelette with butter. The bread went to my neighbours in the end. It was all gone the next morning. 000

Irene @derbren.bsky.social · 22hone thing I’ll always find ridiculous are the clear spherical plastic lids on takeaway cups. You just bought a smoothie, you’re not on a space mission 150
Irene @derbren.bsky.social · 05/10/2026they just keep going! Usually blocking the pedestrian crossing, too. The other day, as I was about to cross, an impatient delivery driver on a motorbike got annoyed that he had to wait at the red light and decided to back up and overtake the waiting car in front of him, reversing straight into me. 010
Irene @derbren.bsky.social · 05/10/2026i’m always amazed by the people I learn about on here when they die. like that evil journalist recently. And now the MP whose name sounds like it’s out of Portrait of a Lady 250
Irene @derbren.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Cars at the pedestrian crossing considering red lights a mere recommendation.This isn’t me getting old. it’s mad. (this is not an anti-London post. I love it here. Just for different reasons.) 390
Irene @derbren.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Everybody in London has lost the plot. Kids on Lime bikes coasting through red lights onto intersections at high speed, never taking their eyes off their phones. International video calls competing with TikTok reel music from 12 different mobile phones on the overground. 190
Irene @derbren.bsky.social · 05/10/2026i’m so sorry, that’s so distressing! I hope she gets proper care asap. x 110
Irene @derbren.bsky.social · 05/10/2026yeah, this year was tough. There was wry laughter during a screening of “He Ran all the Way” when a character says “we’re going to the pictures. They have air-conditioning there.” 200
Irene @derbren.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I don’t have space on my book shelf for these anymore. I don’t want to throw them away, would love to give them to somebody who can use them. ifanybody you’re interested, let me know. feel free to share. @pamhutch.bsky.social @filmfan1971.bsky.social 2126

Irene @derbren.bsky.social · 04/10/2026it’s been a pretty tough weekend, but this was such a highlight. Thank you!!! i’m going to settle down on the sofa with the cat and read this from start to finish now and I strongly recommend that you all follow @davidwaywell.bsky.social and buy this book 3150
Irene @derbren.bsky.social · 04/10/2026whenever people say that social media is toxic, I would like to let everyone know that there are incredibly sweet people who do kind things for you even though they’ve never met you. @davidwaywell.bsky.social surprised me today when his book landed in my mailbox 2380
