My desire to buy a puppy is increasing everyday I see the myriad of pet pictures here. Holding on until Spring so I don’t have to housetrain in the cold and the dark. In the meantime continuing to work in healthcare so I can afford to keep a dog

Just checking my ‘about me’ on Amazon - an apparent product preference is ‘exploring temporary creative products’ (think my neurodiversity might have been recognised😂😂)

Just posted my first item on Vinted, it has had to be when I had annual leave as I cannot deal with trying new things and posting items whilst working full time

How hot is it in the UK this week? Well I dreamt about ice cream last night - specifically an ice cream van that had run out of ice cream (possibly a nightmare🫣😂) #heatwave

My dog with any animal toy - did you know the ear comes off this one? Me - that is a one way function, the dragon now only has 1 ear Dog - Ermm, make that 0 ears Me - 🤦‍♀️

Our first trip to the beach and can definitely say that Merlin loved it. And yes, those grey clouds did deliver a heavy rainfall about 10 minutes after the photos, but being the UK the sun then came back to dry us off #CKCS #dog #CavalierKingCharlesSpaniel

I have just spent an enjoyable 15 minutes unsubscribing from all the emails companies had set to send on Easter Saturday. Wondering how much cognitive energy regularly scanning or skipping them takes…

I’m not saying it has been the best part of a Christmas Day, but … Wordle in 2 🎉 #Wordle #NYTgames Wordle 1,650 2/6 🟩🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Since seeing people post their results on here I have started doing Wordle again for a few weeks. Today I share: Wordle 1,527 2/6 🟨🟨🟩🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

With Merlin I can never tell if he is interested in a shoe because he is preparing for a nap or a snack (usually it is because I have not given him attention for five minutes 🤦‍♀️)😂 it is good that he is cute #CKCS #CavalierKingCharlesSpaniel #puppy

Someone asked me today if I liked baking - as I was talking about baking a cake for a work bake and share. Whilst repeating the recipe (as the first time it was not quite right) I thought about that. Do I like baking? Yes, but not on a deadline when I have a dozen other things that need doing.

Yes, and I also like that it fits me and getting compliments for it. And also, when cleaning the kitchen at 10:30pm, no. Tonight I did not ‘like’ baking. It was a chore. A task that needed doing due to societal expectation (4 weeks ago I said I would).

Reflecting tonight on why I have put myself under this pressure. Why couldn’t/ didn’t I say ‘I would love to -next time’. Nobody would have questioned it but I would have felt that I could/ should have ‘made the effort’. Tonight I did not enjoy baking, hopefully the eating is more enjoyable #baking

Today in millennial disappointment - realising that 3/4 of the money paid back to the student loans company (UK) last year was cancelled out by interest charges 😠😩 (just last year’s interest) #Millenial #studentloans

I have one day of annual leave tomorrow - so I am putting enough things on my to do list for approximately 1 week 🤦‍♀️ What could go wrong? 🤷‍♀️

There is something magical about that first warm Spring day. Windows open to air out the house and washing drying on the line as you find a sunbeam to curl up in.

Having been on Facebook for nearly 2 decades I am finding it harder to leave 😔, for me Twitter was about strangers but Facebook is 19 years worth of friends, family and colleagues ⚖️ The algorithm is now terrible and I do not support Zuckerberg so will have to decide soon 😕 2/3

Entering 2025 with a broken foot (iced and elevated). Plan for the year is healing, get a puppy and plan for next step in my career. Wishing all a healthy, happy and successful 2025

Just when I thought that I was surviving the festive season in good health and had avoided colds/norovirus this year 🤞 - I’ve gone and broken my foot 🤦‍♀️ Already preparing jokes for when colleagues ask how the holiday was - “I had a good break”, “got to put my feet up” etc. 😂 1/2

As adults my sister and I both live within walking distance of our parents house and so our other sister and uncle are sleeping in a spare room in my house and parents’ house but #duvetknowitschristmas brings back memories of doubling up as kids to accommodate grandparents and the uncle visiting 1/2

Now there is another iconic aspect of our Christmas dinner that is figuring out what everyone is going to sit on around the table. Stools / chairs of every height may be used. Now I have taken to doing a Christmas Eve head/chair count and bringing my own chair(s) with the presents on the morning 2/2

The Winter window lights (on timer) have been on for a week. Time to remember that the winter solstice is only 4 weeks away and then the days will start to get longer again. - In other news the calendar reminds me that Christmas is only 4.5 weeks away. #Darkness #WinterSolstice

I did not realise how awful the algorithm on X had become. To migrate I went through the list of accounts I followed to find them here. Now seeing posts from people missing from the X timeline for months/years. I used to say you enjoyed Twitter by carefully curating who you followed - 🦋gets that

Optimist: "the cup is half full" Pessimist: "the cup is half empty" Conversation analyst: the action accomplished by the turn in which either phrase is formulated, its sequential position, & its accompanying embodied conduct, will determine whether I want to spend more time with you :-) #EMCA
