Can't get over the fact that in Denmark, Blu-Tack (sticky tack) is called Elephant Snot 🤣🤣

Does anyone else cut away just the top part of the cellophane on a new box of tea bags to avoid a mess of tea dust on the cupboard shelves? @yorkshiretea.bsky.social

Scrubbed my bathroom to within an inch of its life today. All because my sister is coming to stay.

Hello! I am working on a project with the Royal Institution about the Christmas Lectures, and would love to talk to people who grew up watching them on TV, or now watch them with their own kids (or, ideally, both). Please share 🤗

I was horrified yesterday to find out that my friend (older than me) keeps her PIN numbers in her wallet alongside her bank cards. She is not technically savvy, so trying to convert her to a phone with fingerprint to pay would fail. How can I help keep her safe?

On my last day in #Århus #Denmark before travelling back to the UK, I went for a morning run. The woods are covered in wild garlic and anemonies. So beautiful 🇩🇰

Today, I hung my washing outside to dry for the first time this year. I forgot to bring it in, so I assume it will be freeze-dried in the morning

I owe an apology to all James Bond movies. I mocked them for having completely unrealistic, cartoonish villains that simply weren't believable. 2025 has made it impossible to levy that criticism anymore.
