Retired teacher. Over developed sense of social justice. Would like the world to care more. Into pets, books, dance & satire. Left of centre. Hates Climate change denial. Happily married (added due to *those DMs *sigh*)
Had to turn this episode off. As a teacher, who worked during COVID with the most vulnerable and watching the deaths rise whenever schools fully opened (because children were CLEARLY drivers of infection) my blood pressure couldn’t take it. Do better #NewsAgents
One for the girls: I have put on a bit of weight in the last couple of years, causing me to a) buy some new bras & b) have a long overdue sort out of old bras (dating back over abt 30 years). I call this art installation “My Life in Bras” (The cost!!!)
Going to be wearing this brooch with special pride over the next few weeks. (Anyone interested in having their own, it’s from Pop-Up.)
A break from my political rage. I have been excitedly waiting for this to ‘hatch’.
Baby Suki. Still cute but a little scruffy right now as too hot for a groom.
Dougal has discovered squirrels. His whole existence is now dedicated to patrolling the garden fence and searching the trees. I just wish he didn’t bark excitedly as he did so. Sorry neighbours 🤦♀️
Recently, I took up gold-work embroidery. A while ago, I did some calligraphy. A couple of years back, I had a fabulous weekend learning to make stained glass panels. Genuinely, when people walk around churches, they have NO IDEA of the work involved. This bit of gold-work has taken HOURS.
U.S. folks: if you are around in New York over the next few weeks, please try to fit in this show at 59e59 (Brits off Broadway). You won’t regret it, I promise.
Why is this 5th below (1st) toilets transphobia hysteria shit?! I am so done with people (especially foot-stamping, hysterical, right-wing, ignorant people).
Tbf, I think all my household animals have no idea what they actually are.
@mgm5353.bsky.social I need to ask: is the dog in your profile a Dandie? He bears quite the resemblance to my Dougal.
Just discovered a fabulous online shop and ordered myself this little pin. Perfect.
Dougal has just passed one. Adolescence has hit hard (along with him finding his voice). Just now. Husband (i.e. dog-dad) letting out for last wee: No barking! Hear me? No barking! Dougal: Excessive, super-loud barking. Husband: Shit!
When you have a date for your front door to be replaced and you discover that you have a robin’s nest complete with 5 eggs right next to it 😕
He’s a handsome chap. Happy Saturday evening terrier lovers! (Especially, Dandie lovers.)
Scots everywhere will be pleased to see Tunnock’s tea cakes featuring so prominently in Artemis’s safe return.
I like to start every day’s to do list with something quick and achievable.
