We’ve sat down in a restaurant in Sicily where they discovered that we’re English and have begun blasting David Bowie for us, 10/10. Healing the reputation of Brits abroad!

I'm at the point post-surgery where all my searches are like "how long after wisdom tooth surgery to eat solid food" and "can i eat a cheese burger yet" I don't want to even LOOK at mashed potato ever again

TGIF from me and Hercule, both working away very hard!
I am on a laptop on the sofa. Hercule is sitting on a “cattop” which is a scratching post shaped like a laptop. It says I heart catnip on it.

Naming your cats after detectives is all well and good until you have to call the out of hours vet to say HERCULE POIROT IS HAVING AN EMERGENCY

Captain Hastings and Hercule really giving “felt cute, might delete later” energy here
Hercule is a black cat sticking his tongue out. Captain Hastings is a tabby and the photo looks like he took it as it’s blurry and his arm (paws) are out of shot

On the rare occasion that I am not watching an episode, I’m listening to @labourshercule.bsky.social as I have found my people (i.e. other people who seriously describe David Suchet’s Poirot as a “banger”)

In the UK, 1 in 3 care-leavers face homelessness within two years of transitioning out of the care system. At Settle, we’re working hard to raise awareness of this and to raise the funds we need to change this. Every donation is match-funded, so for every £10, we'd get £20 towards our work.

On Thursday afternoon, I will be climbing the Three Peaks (ish) - me and my colleagues at Settle will be collectively taking on the cumulative height (3,045m) via Westway Climbing Wall. This is a part of our winter fundraising challenge which launches *TODAY*

Captain Hastings is a tabby kitten and he is poking out from behind a notebook. I am leaning against the sofa behind him.

I must fight Teddy from this week's you be the judge
theguardian.com
You be the judge: my husband refuses to double-barrel our surnames. Should I take his last name?
Annabelle doesn’t want to lose her family name, but traditionalist Teddy is not keen on a double-barrelled compromise. You decide who should be named – and who should be shamed

Best part about having kittens with absurd names is that I get texts like this at work. RIP Agatha Christie, you would have loved to see this x
