iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I’m facing up to the pain and staying up for a bit. I assume it won’t be too long 🫣

Although it’ll probably be OK after 12.30am ish

Trouble is, I like Bazball (not at the moment but generally) and I don’t want Baz to go. Just a few adjustments 🤣

I know that there’s no way England are going to score another 228 runs. I know that. However, I can almost guarantee that, like last night, I will be waking up regularly to check the score because I can’t quash that tiny glimmer of useless hope. #England #Cricket #TheAshes

Well, if I had to eat an olive after every paper it would either make me mark them really fast to get it over with or put me off starting at all 😂 Rather you than me!

Has she contacted Old Hall Farm in Woodton Norfolk? They’re not on Bluesky but Rebecca is well worth a chat with.

The most startling one is the pharmacy technicians - we’ve dubbed their uniform ‘Clinell Green’ because it’s the same colour as the packets of universal wipes. Perhaps even brighter 😂 Our pharmacy tech can’t keep a low profile, that’s for sure.

Postman blue is our SLT trim colour and you’re right, it’s greyish blue. I can’t remember if there’s a separate research colour or not.

English #SLPeeps #SLT - what are your thoughts on the new #NHSUniform for us? I quite like the colour (though the one I ordered didn’t fit at all 🫣)

Watching US UK School Swap. It is WILD! The English kid is coming to a rural Arkansas house and the adults have spent time locking away all the knives, guns and crossbow bolts 😳 #SchoolSwapUKtoUSA

I get the judges said they went with their hearts but they didn’t do that in other rounds - a big break like that would have meant no win.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

You’re so right Nikki, surely they must be contracted to do loads of stupid stuff, otherwise why mock the hunters in such risky ways?

Ginni @ginnibb.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

I know it’s all scripted and a huge fix anyway but it gets increasingly ridiculous every series to the point I can barely watch (but the mister still likes it because he’s significantly more chilled than me) #CelebrityHunted

Ginni @ginnibb.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

I’m properly annoyed by #CelebrityHunted. The hunters apparently use “the power of the state” and yet they don’t seem to know that bugging people’s houses isn’t legal without permissions at the highest level. You can’t just slip one into someone’s house on the fly. That’s cheating.

After today’s #TheHundred sell off I’ve been looking through the teams just in case this is my year to commit to watching. I’m delighted, delighted I tell you, to see that they’re all sponsored by crisps! So wholesome. Considering #NorthernSuperchargers sponsored by my faves McCoys 😂
