Learnt a new word today and now I declare myself a quaintrelle! ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜ (another definition reads: "a woman who embraces an elegant and unconventional lifestyle, marked by wit, independence, and personal charm")

This is a great thread regardless of whether you're a #LOTR fan or not. All the office speak will resonate with a lot of peeps...

"This could have been an email." Aragorn whispers. "He ALWAYS pulls this shit in 'Any Other Business" Boromir replies, quietly. "It's why Faramir marked himself as busy when the invite went out."

How gorgeous is this candelabra covered in little cats... It was a commissioned piece from Oranmore Pottery. So, I'm fairly sure that I couldn't afford to have one. Which is a shame. ๐Ÿ˜•

I'm watching that Lucy Worsley series "Six Wives" She's just referred to the moment when Henry first met Anne of Cleeves in person as "history's most awkward blind date" And I'm telling you now...that ain't true! ๐Ÿ˜

So today is Scar Appreciation Day & peeps are discussing how many they have & how they got them, so here's mine: Non Self Inflicted = 9 3 on my left hip 1 on my left knee 4 on my right knee 1 on my right ankle Self Inflicted = 5 1 on left thumb 1 on right pinkie 2 on left thigh 1 on bridge of nose

Sounds like a lot, doesn't it? But, if you saw me walking down the street, you would think I was normal...well, you would think I was *relatively* normal! ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜

Present & Correct@presentcorrect.bsky.social

How to tell if it is Autumn: - butter is hard & tears the bread - duvet tog transition - sleeves are back - everything is golden - books accumulate - snacks are stored under the sofa & bed - nose tip is always cold - blanket in each room - squirrels have changed your WiFi password - dark

Grim weather here today, so I might have this as my soundtrack to some dull domestic drudgery. I particularly enjoy screeching along to "Paradise By The Dashboard Light - Pt3 Praying For The End Of Time" ๐ŸŽถ I'll never break my promise or forget my vow. But God only knows what I can do right now. ๐ŸŽถ

#NotAOneHitWonder #OTD in 1977, Meat Loaf released โ€œBat Out of Hell,โ€ with songs written by Jim Steinman & production by Todd Rundgrenโ€ฆ Steinmanโ€™s vision brought theatrical storytelling and big emotions to rock radio. Todd Rundgren also played guitar & sang backing vocals #Meatloaf #NotAOneHitWonder

You know what I hate? I mean, yeah, there's a long list, but specifically today. It's when you make a cup of coffee and the milk all splits in the cup cos it's gorne orff... BUT, you've already drunk one cup of coffee using that same milk! ๐Ÿคฎ

Reminds me of this guy George Lewis, who has done a few GD parodies... Including the one explaining why there are so many pregnancies amongst the couples featured! ๐Ÿ˜

Somebody on here told me recently that they could set their watch by me leaving at 10pm every night... Well, hah. I fucking showed them, eh. Not least because most nights I do it by 9pm! ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ˜
