Mostly DIY and gardening these days with a side dish of running

We know Kiera is a gamer. What if she is actually really good? And she's skipping school to stream her games and make money from people who watch other people play games. Apparently this is a thing. #TheArchers

I don't actually believe this. I'm just really struggling to think of what the real reason might be. She has good friends at school and they don't seem to have picked up on anything #TheArchers

Loathe it

Little Green Space ๐Ÿ@lgspace.bsky.social

Please say no to plastic grass. This ugly stuff removes food & shelter for wildlife including bees, butterflies and birds; has a high carbon footprint; sheds micro-plastics which wash into our rivers and seas. Create a wildlife-friendly space instead. More littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/gra... ๐Ÿ

Takes me back to when we had a big storm and about 200 trees came down across the road. All the men got out with their chainsaws and I was only about an hour late for school. My teacher was new and didn't believe me. She sent me to the Head. Her secretary said "go back to class, I'll sort it out"

I have been reading the teasers, and fear I have come across one that is more of a spoiler - be warned! #TheArchers

I was also thinking about the character Kirsty, as we are the same age. I dodged a pregnancy test the other day by promising the nurse I am definitely not pregnant. I can't imagine anything worse at my age! Annabelle Dowler who plays Kirsty is in her early 50s, must be weird for her! #TheArchers

Question for the farmers here: I spent some time living on a farm in New Zealand. There, Friday is "Town Day". Farmers go into town and get their banking, farm supplies, supermarket shop, all that stuff done. Do they do that here in the UK? How about in Borsetshire? #TheArchers

Is anyone still listening to Radio 4? Me and my brother were both adopted at birth and now I'm wondering if that's why he likes Star Wars so much #TheArchers

Finished work so much later than usual today. Then a long wait for the bus. Home just before 10. Pasta cooked and served with the pesto I made for yesterday's dinner. Caught up on Traitors. Fell asleep at the round table. Finally in bed and glad I remembered to turn my electric blanket on.

Good evening all. My deer farming dad always used to say a sick/injured deer is a dead deer. No need to call the vet, call the butcher. #TheArchers

I had my flu vaccination after work today. After almost a decade of incurable illness, I've finally managed to have a vaccination without telling them I'm a recovering needle phobic. I even saw the needle and my heart rate stayed under 100.

I have left the house about four times this week, for a maximum of 20 minutes each time. Three times, I have seen people I know. Managed to avoid them seeing me two of those times, and probably the fourth someone saw me and didn't want to speak to me! Tottenham is a village. #TheArchers

As someone whose estate will be subject to inheritance tax, I really don't think I'll care about paying tax when I'm DEAD #InheritanceTax

Left the house for the first time in nearly a week (Covid innit) to walk two minutes around the corner to the local coffee shop. Immediately bumped into someone I know. I'm telling you, Tottenham is just like Ambridge. #TheArchers

I was just lying in bed in the dark, awake, and a daddy longlegs jumped on my face. Now I'm lying in bed with the light on, awake and paranoid.

Just tested positive again. According to Dr Google, Covid rebound after taking Paxlovid is A Thing and restarts the isolation clock ๐Ÿ˜ญ I was feeling so much better!!

My brother had a different name for the first week of his life - Chris. But we also had an aunty Chris, so my parents decided to change it. #TheArchers

My mum legit loves ironing, such a weirdo but it really would be a day to dread (my dad's dead though so she doesn't do his shirts. Bedsheets though...)

My freeholder has sent me this year's insurance bill and asked for half plus a ยฃ20 "admin fee". I guess this is because he can't charge ground rent any more. But can he charge an admin fee? I should know this, I work in property...

As well as a traditional funeral, I went to a more pagan-feeling event for a friend of mine. There was a bonfire, singing, writing things down and casting them into the fire, that sort of thing. It was sad, and lovely.

Update: I fell asleep, mum fell asleep, eventually got up and did the test. Yup, it's Covid. She nearly didn't do the test because her friend got the "wrong" test. She wanted a 4 in 1 test because she was sure it was something else not Covid.

I'm recovering from Covid and now I think my Mum has it. I'm not above a bit of emotional blackmail (also, she means am)

Had a bit of an Instagram argument. Have just woken up to 27,000 likes on my comment and a pile-on of the person who disagreed with me...
