I’m afraid I don’t know who to credit for this, but it is just too good to not share! #Carney #EU #canada

A variation of the notorious ‘girlfriend looks angrily at boyfriend who is looking round at another woman’, the other woman being the EU, the boyfriend Canada, and the girlfriend the USA.

I missed a call on my phone, luckily there’s a transcript of the message that was left…

Sadly a lot of voters in Norfolk don’t seem to have noticed this, judging by Thursdays PCC election result:

The results of the PCC election which took place on Thursday 16.06.26. The reform uk candidate got by far the most votes.

This is very disappointing, farage’s shine clearly hasn’t yet worn off in parts of Norfolk. The only positive thing about it is that it is only two years until the post of PCC is abolished: #Norfolk #PCC #NorfolkPCC #reformuk

A document showing the results of the Norfolk PCC election held on the 16th July 2026. The candidate with most votes was the reform uk candidate with 32,647 votes, followed by the conservative with 18,343. The Greens received 16,907, followed by an independent, Labour, restore and Lib-Dem.

Just over five months since I spoke to my GP about it I had my right hip replaced today, wonderful NHS service! I know that folk in some areas have to wait much longer than that for a consultation, but proof that waiting lists are coming down, especially here in East Anglia! #NHS #HipReplacement

No, it’s been up and down for a while…

Two copies of this just arrived through the post, both addressed to both of us, so at least they’ve wasted their money twice. #farage #reformuk

Ooh, that looks nice, definitely one for the weekend. Thanks for the suggestion Strava! #cycling #strava #norfolk #weekend #bikeride

A screenshot from the Strava app, suggesting a local bike ride that I might want to consider taking over the coming weekend. The photograph illustrating the route is of a dilapidated brick wall with various bits of dead vegetation attached to it. It doesn’t look at all appealing.

A ‘respectable’ local department store are selling this range of locally-themed hoodies and sweatshirts. I wonder if the designers have really thought about the logo on the middle one? Maybe they have, reflecting current political trends… #Jarrolds #NF #N-F #nationalfront #rightwing

The dogs were great this year! Sadly we had to say goodbye to a very good one, fourteen year old Bramble, back in May this year.

Best wishes to all. (Except reform uk supporters obvs).

I heard that the other day, and agree it was really interesting. I had stupidly never realised that Trowse was built by Colmans to house their workers. It inspired me to have a look at the old school in Trowse, vacated in 2020. I cycle past it regularly but had never taken a look before today…

You’ll always be WHSmith to me (just like Opal Fruits, Marathon, Jif, Twitter and Norwich Union). #whsmith

We went to see Book of Mormon today, at the Norwich Theatre Royal, I know we’re several years late with this, but what a great show, laughter from start to finish! #NorwichTheatreRoyal #BookOfMormon

Lovely, he looks like a cheeky lad! We lost our Bramble a couple of months ago, missing her and her little ways madly. We knew it was coming, she was fourteen, but very hard nonetheless.

An older relative just keeps sharing ridiculous ai crap posts like this on Facebook.Without being too alarmist, and putting her off using the internet completely, we really need to have a gentle word with her about the possible harm of liking, following, sharing and boosting pages like this.
