She is beauty she is grace…. #CaitrionaBalfe on the cover of Tatler magazine 🥰

Shrada @shrada.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

Everyone who knows @dannnniiii.bsky.social agrees she’s a gem. But I wanna shout it a little louder cos even tho I don’t talk about OL much, she still listens to my bumbling voice notes, sends VNs back & surprises me with the sweetest birthday surprises. Thank you so much Dani friend. Love you 💗

Ok 50 ain’t so bad. Despite the raging perimenopause and the dodgy knees I feel privileged to have made it this far 💜

Just remembered my biggest fandom achievement - Caitríona replying to my tweet with this amazing selfie. I hope the #Outlander finale does the show justice & everyone going to Paley has an amazing time 🥰 And despite fandom turning sour for me, I’m grateful for the friends who kept in touch 🫶🏽

I keep seeing #Outlander posts and they’re only convincing me NOT to catch up on the second half of S7 and S8 tbh. Fergus? Really? 😭 I’ve realised I am an HEA person. Peril and strife and looming danger be damned.

Can’t stop thinking about #ProjectHailMary The youngest in our group was 12 and the eldest 76 and we all LOVED it. We laughed and held our breaths and cried. If you haven’t already seen it, go see it, it’s AMAZE AMAZE AMAZE! 👍🏽👎🏽👍🏽

So I’ve been lurking on threads and I think it might be the place for the random chats and japes that I miss from the golden days of Tw****r. I just need to find a way to separate it from my IG account 🤔

Shrada @shrada.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

Yes the obsession continues. I’ve lost count of the #Reheats and probably know the script by heart. And I took a break from the world in chaos and my current book to read #HeatedRivalry and it was gorgeous. Man I love #IlyaAndShane, so much! #Hollanov #DownTheRabbitHole

A paperback novel with a bookmark next to it. The book is Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid the cover has an illustration of two, rival, male hockey players on the ice in a face off. The book mark has an illustration of a loon bird and the words ‘Stupid Canadian wolf bird’

I know some people really dislike voicenotes but as someone who can be very socially awkward & often needs time to prepare a response, they're the perfect way for me to stay in touch with loved ones. I need to work on reducing the gibbering and the duration but rambling VMs are my love language 💜

Caitríona loving the Outlander Season 8 poster makes me so emotional 🥹 (but really what about S8 won't make me emo is the real question lol) The full ep of Lauren Lyle with Caitríona Balfe on the She's a Rec' podcast is out now!! (📽️: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqOU...)

Dear Lord, save me. I have fallen hard. I have fallen hook, line and sinker for these two hockey playing, beautiful, gay boys. Watched season 1 in a day (thanks #SkyTV) and I want MORE. A rewatch is imminent. h e l p 🫠 m e 🫠 #HeatedRivalry

The thing I miss about the bird place is the chats that random posts would create. It felt like having a cuppa and a chat with moots. I’d hoped that sort of engagement would develop here but it feels like you post and then tumbleweed. Is threads any good for that kind of chatting with people?

Meant to be going to London tonight to see Lauren Lyle and Alexander Arnold in #MostFavoured but Storm Goretti is trying to scupper my plans. I could risk it - I'll probably get to London but I might not be able to get home. Gah. What to do.

We dashed over to see ‘The Beam’ tonight, a vertical pillar of light (as high as 8km) to mark the 80th anniversary of Harwell Science and Innovation Campus. We felt like we were in Tron or Star Wars. It was a lovely little adventure to start the year 💜

2025 was a hellish year, it honestly felt like it might not end. I know it’s felt that way for a lot of people, but here we are, a new year. I don’t do resolutions instead I hope that 2026 is kind to you friends. Look for those glimmers, look for the light, tell your people that you love them 💫💜

These last few months have been tough. Could be grief, depression or perimenopause. Perhaps all of it, maybe I’m just wired this way but I’ve been feeling so down & negative Looking for the glimmers to keep me going.

It’s been a month since I started this. And I was still struggling with physical reading…I dunno what changed this weekend but I read a big chunk this and had to force myself to put it down and go to sleep at 2.30am last night! Hope this means my slump is over 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 What are you reading friends? 💙📚

I can't really afford it anyway but now I have FOMO so am kicking myself for not going to see #Macbeth It's such an intimate venue and everyone's been raving about it. Uggh, this year has involved so much adulting and I just wanna do what I wanna do for once and not have to consider everyone else!

Folks, if you get the chance, do go and watch I swear. It’s about Scottish #TouretteSyndrome campaigner John Davidson. This film is so full of heart and the cast are incredible. I cried pretty much the whole way through but laughed a lot too. My heart feels bigger for seeing it 💙

Poster for the film, I swear about the life of Scottish campaigner John Davidson who has Tourette syndrome. The text is white on a sky blue background and features lead actor Robert Aramayo and 4 other characters from the film.

I am so excited for this. There are some excellent authors out there writing incredible stories who deserve some acknowledgement 👏🏽 My only hope is that the long and short lists are void of celebrity authors who have huge marketing spends and writing that is just ok. #KidLit #BookSky 📚💙

I actually sparred in my kickboxing class tonight. Properly punching and kicking someone and then them properly punching and kicking me. I was terrified at first but it was exhilarating. I’d forgotten how much I enjoy kickboxing 🥊🥊🥊

Ugh. I'm just so tired of this seemingly endless cycle of loneliness and smiling depression and people thinking I'm doing great when really I feel hollowed out and sad. Just shouting into a void because I can't figure out how to navigate this impasse.
