Harry Kane wins the Ballon D’Or. Congratulations to him 😊

Or will it be Lionel Messi because he’s retired from international football? No disrespect intended but I sincerely hope not.

Mbappe or Kane for the Ballon D’Or? I know Spain have won just about every award tonight so far but I think (imho) that both Mbappe and Kane have been on another level, especially during the World Cup.

Current book which has been sitting on my shelf for literally years. It’s very good so far 👍🏻

Again, what is the reasoning behind a heat winner’s post mortem chat about their successful episode of ‘Mastermind’? A winning finalist I could understand but a heat winner who progresses to the semi final? Genuinely, who gives a fuck?

When you look up when the next match is and what day…. 😑😬 #NUFC

Three points away from home Thank fuck for that 🖤🤍 #NUFC

Watching the weather unfolding. We’ve been invited to a joint 60th birthday party tonight and how I wish we could teleport

I’m still plan on picking up book 3 of the Starlight Grove series next month though as I genuinely love the characters in that series. I just sincerely hope it doesn’t fall victim of Copy and Paste Syndrome. 😬

Enjoyed the first episode of ‘The Northumbria Mysteries’ on BBC One this afternoon. Showcased some of Northumberland beautifully I thought; Dunstanburgh Castle, Alnwick and Morpeth. 😊

When you get excited at discovering a new author within the genre you’re currently reading (romance) And then three books into a different series by the same author, you realise that they’re actually rather formulaic. Oh the disappointment…

😆 This is also my reaction eating cucumber.

Talking to my mam on the phone about everything and nothing is just the best. 😊 Love her. 💖

It’s a definite upside to my husband now being retired that I now have more cups of tea made for me. I’m so used to making my own that it’s always a lovely surprise when he makes and brings one to me without being asked 😊 And he makes a very good cup of tea too 😁

Here it is. Two weeks ago. You’d think a confirmation letter would be here by now wouldn’t you but nope. They will have sent it second class and that takes at least ten days to arrive these days if they posted it off the day of the phone call. Royal Mail should be utterly ashamed of themselves.

The chronic dry eye symptoms, which I’ve had for close to 10 yrs now was something I didn’t expect with peri/menopause but apparently it’s ’a thing’ & it is an absolute pain in the arse to deal with in general but especially if you’re a big reader like I am and blurry vision happens because of it

In my case; most of the below but also including chronic dry eyes. That has been the most debilitating as well as annoying physical symptom for me. The anxiety, heightened emotional responses to everything & the brain fog are also not fun to deal with - all of which I deal with pretty much daily.

Hated Five Star as a teenager and forty years later, that has not changed. Awful Jacksons rip offs 🤮

I’m watching the 40 Hits of 1986 programme on bbc 2. That was the year I turned 17 and discovered Jon Bon Jovi 😍 Two years later I met the man who is still my husband who at the time had more than a passing resemblance to Richie Sambora (and no I’m not sharing a picture of him)

Oh my gawd.. I’d forgotten Sam Fox had a go at that singing malarkey 🫪

Jaimie and Carlos. Dance of the night for me #Strictly

Okay, that couples choice from Shaun and Alexis was adorable. So much fun #Strictly

Cach is a ballroom boy, who knew? A proper dance without any street dance moves. Well done Cach #Strictly

OMG some of these costumes on #Strictly Icons week!! 🤣🤣🤭 The wigs alone are completely bonkers 😁

All stable on the blood test/ renal stuff for the next six months (huzzah!) Kidney function fluctuates asa rule but mine has improved very slightly for the first time in a year so methinks husband’s retirement has worked to my advantage 😉 (6 months today he retired)

It took so long for season 23 to appear on Disney+ and the fact that the entire season dropped all at once makes me think that will be that for new seasons of NCIS on that streaming platform (but I’ll be happy to be proved wrong)

Finally watched all of s23 of #NCIS. Some great arcs & episodes (eps 13. &19 esp) & of course a cliffhanger ending. Have a feeling s24 won’t be coming to D+ so I’m hoping 5USA hold onto their second run rights & I’ll see it then as I don’t have Sky Cinema for Paramount + (I don’t pay the sky bill)

Six monthly visit to the medical vampire due this lunchtime. Yay.

Vito on It Takes Two tonight. Or in general. 😁🤭😆

Oh Vito, never change 🤣 #Strictly #ItTakesTwo

When you discover a bag of Malteasers that you’d hidden from your chocolate fiend youngest kid and had completely forgotten about…

Russell Brand is a grubby disgusting vile excuse of a human. He has made my skin crawl from the very first moment I ever saw him. There is absolutely nothing going on behind those eyes of his and I wish for justice for every one of his victims.

I’m going to pretend that last night didn’t happen. Nope.

“If we win, we’ll be third, fourth, whatever in the league ” Get tonked. Happens every single fucking time.

Jesus, s23 ep 13 of #NCIS was a doozie 😞

Well I called this dance off. No preference on who stays and who goes. #Strictly

If there’s any justice, then the dance off should be Shaun v Melanie. I don’t care which one to go, they’re both equally disappointing #Strictly Thought both Tabby and Delta were phenomenal and John was undermarked.

Rumba is my least favourite of all the #Strictly dances.

After an early start and an incredibly busy day, I am so tired that I’m almost cross eyed with it. It also doesn’t help that my son is a night owl and bedtime won’t happen for a couple more hours at least and I’m the only one he wants to do his bedtime routine #autism #asdmum

I wasn’t going to watch this series of ‘Portrait Artist of The Year’ because the judges last year annoyed me so much with their choices that I didn’t watch the final. However I found out that this series has 3 new judges which made me change my mind & I’m glad I did, they’re a breath of fresh air.

My youngest kid is an adult & a very good one at that. She’s sensible with a good head on her shoulders and yet I still worry that she’ll be okay when taking her first weekend trip out of town with just her bestie as company. She’s made her train, met up with said bestie and all is well. And breathe
