Let’s never forget who came to our aid…and who has done nothing but spew lies and threats.

Staying out of the way while my husband sorts out an Ikea desk in my little writing room. He's trying to contend with a wonky floor and allen (how do you spell that?). Spirit level and bits of wood to chock things up coming to great use! #oldhouses #wonkyeverything

Why is the government not capable wiping the floor with Nigel Farage every single day like this? Alastair Campbell effortlessly destroys him over his Brexit legacy which by almost every economic and financial measure has been disastrous for the country

Well, there’s a story.
When Nazi Germany invaded Denmark in World War II, the Hungarian chemist George de Hevesy dissolved the gold Nobel Prizes of Max von Laue and James Franck in aqua regia to prevent the Nazis from stealing them. He placed the resulting solution on a shelf in his laboratory at the Niels Bohr Institute. After the war, he returned to find the solution undisturbed and precipitated the gold out of the acid. The Nobel Society then recast the Nobel Prizes using the original gold.

Day 7 of this bloody awful cough/cold. Yesterday, I could barely breathe and I contacted GP. I was told to complete an online triage form and then received word they would get back to me within 2 days. Phone call this morning at 8.15. The doc asked me about breathing. I said 'yes, I am.'

I've discovered that I'm a lady of a certain age. Sitting with my husband last night and he started kissing me arm, said that I smelled nice and it reminded him of that lovely old lady scent, like talc!!! So, apparently I now smell like a grandma. I'm 63. Goodness, I didn't feel that old 😂

Well, that didn't last long. Drip, drip, drip and whoosh as the snow escapes from my roof and wallops onto the ground! The trees are dripping everywhere and it's all I can here from outside. Sun is out and it's a beautiful winter's day! Apparently, Storm Bert is arriving tomorrow. Not so nice!

So this is the BBC blaming Nurses for the economy. Nurses who have lost 20-30% of their pay in ten years. Nothing to do with greedy CEOs and record private profits? Nothing to do with government incompetence? No. Blame the nurses. Seriously BBC?!?! How dare you!

So I looked these 23 up in the @emberenergy.bsky.social data base and 10 of them... Don't even use coal in their energy mix. So they'd be committing to give up some thing they'd never even used

With new figures showing that more than one in three children in the UK are now living in poverty, with deprivation hitting a record high, it's good to see the Times focusing on the people who are really struggling

And there it is. Dark clouds overhead, snow and sleet together! Love living on Dartmoor - don't love the snow though. Unless I can stay indoors and cosy up 🥰

Society is a group project & democracy a collaborative effort. They assume a division of labor & that you'll deal with what I can't, & vice-versa. A couple of my post-election threads are abt caring for ourselves, but they boil down to: Let's give each other & ourselves grace. Give yourself grace.
