Is it even Christmas if you haven’t tipped out an entire bin bag of wrapping paper to look for (AND FIND) a hearing aid before 9am? #Christmasmiracle

Apparently, in order for our shower to be installed effectively, we need Nine Inch Nails AT FULL VOLUME. But if it means I can wash my hair the right way up, then hey. I'm not going to argue. 🫧

The 3 stages of British people and the weather. 1. WHERE IS THE SUN? WHY IS IT RAINING? WILL WE EVER SEE SUNSHINE? BRITISH WEATHER SUCKS! 2. YAY! SUNSHINE! SO HAPPY! 3. IT'S TOO HOT. I THINK THE HEAT WILL KILL ME! I WILL LITERALLY DIE FROM THE HOT. WILL WE EVER SEE RAIN AGAIN?

If there's a word for the smell after rain, surely there's also one for picking up too much washing and dropping one thing and bending down to pick that thing up and dropping another thing and so on and so on? #petrichor #washingpffft

Read all the comments from the good people of Bluesky and switched to #DuckDuckGo. Told husband how thrilling it is. That’ll be why I’ve been using it for 12 years, said Mr Smuggity Smug.
