This is the photo I want to frame. I love it (partly 'cause I made it). I don't know why I haven't had it on display before.

I presume this plane is filming for the athletics (and probably not going to Antwerp), but how much will it really see from 28,000 feet?

Someone else posted that they're still using their garden firepit because they're very experienced and know the risks. Aye right.

Obvs I'm biased but blimey. The gov's emergency alert team needs a copywriter. Way too much text! Break it up! You need a 1-2 word headline (Wildfires!), then an obvious call to action ("do not use..."). THEN you can go into the whole "even a small flame" thing.

According to the NHS there isn't enough evidence that I have ADHD because my parents said I'm fine.

What time you off on holiday, mom and dad? Off now, ish. Mom just making a couple of dresses

Someone started up some loud garden machinery just as this (already weird sounding) plane went over and for a terrifying second I thought we were done for.

Before we arrived at this villa on Friday the host asked how many of us are staying, so he could prepare a welcoming gift. We told him two. 😳

One of these cheap pairs of trousers is not like the others. By which I mean I ordered three of the same size and they have randomly sent me one pair that is 4 sizes too big. ANNOYING

The waistbands of three pairs of trousers. One waistband is significantly longer than the other two.

I'm in Moseley and apparently that's a Sky News helicopter circling. Has something happened or are they just trying to get aerial shots of all the bin bags?

Right so I've got a tiny cut in the palm of my hand from some tin foil and I'm pretty sure this is the worst pain ever known to humankind. Ow

Rather confusing/worrying messages from our street WhatsApp group this morning.

Half of the neighbours are talking about a fox and the other half are talking about a dishwasher repair man. It's unclear which one pooed on Ruth's patio.

PSA: most "packing peanuts" (not sure what else to call them!) are water soluble these days. They're made of plant starches and will completely dissolve in water. It's very satisfying.

If you like cake and you're in Birmingham city centre today, the DELICIOUS Bake cake stall will be popping up in Tilt from 10.30 (they were supposed to be at Kings Heath market but... *gestures at weather*) www.instagram.com/p/DDOudj-iYk...

Post you from a different era. Moseley, 1999 (Bootcut jeans! Terracotta walls! A futon! A magazine rack!)

The author, in jeans and a black top, stands with her legs planted firmly apart and hands behind her back, leaning down to peer into the camera. It's all a bit 90s indie music video tbh.

Next wants me to buy this dress. I suppose it makes sense... I just need to find a white bonnet 😒

Oxblood Red Long Collared Zip Neck Dress from Next. Looks a bit like the ones they wear in the Handmaid's Tale TV series.
