The first thing I saw when everything finally came back on was the news about Dolly 💔

Sky customer service is the actual worst, their robots are designed to enrage and then you finally get through to a person and they are just as unhelpful as the AI. So tell me, what broadband company makes it easy to talk to a human when you need help? Because i can't be doing with this nonsense
Kiddo has found out today he has to wear glasses, and he is sad about it. Please tell me all the coolest people/characters who wear glasses to cheer him up
I'm meant to be having a physically relaxing day (to prep for a more physical week ahead) so I decided to play Minecraft to glue me to the sofa. So i started a hardcore world and now I am stressed and my neck hurts from the tension
I made a skirt and it fits and looks ok! And it has MASSIVE pockets
"Mistakes are part of the learning process" I mutter, yanking my fabric out of my sewing machine again

It unreasonably irks me that I have to fill in a declaration every year to say I don't need a TV license. No other subscription service hassles me every year to see if I want it.
Recently I learned that when you hit #menopause, your Achilles tendon is more likely to snap. Serendipitously, I also came across this video about the importance of tendon strength, and how to strengthen them. So, now I feel duty bound to share this everywhere! youtu.be/GSwL3Lgw6zI?... #Health

I get that disposable barbecues may be higher risk because they're more likely to be on the ground, but surely all barbecues carry a wildfire risk in these conditions
Everyone in my house got an emergency alert except me. My survival in apocalyptic situations now relies on my family remembering to tell me these things.
It's too much to hope that Binface will win, but that would make a cracking daily gratitude short
Everywhere in our village the grass is dry and brown and crispy. Not my garden though, there the grass is still green. Proof that having trees and not chopping everything within an inch of its life every five minutes is good for the land.
Last night I had horrible dreams, that suddenly morphed into dreams about my neighbour's cat. Moments later he jumped onto my bed, having apparently squeezed in through my bedroom window. It is hard to stay in a bad dream mood when a cuddle puddle is purring on you.
I am soooo excited, but also a tiny bit terrified of using a sewing machine unsupervised. Experienced sewists, please give me your tips! youtube.com/shorts/R5aXp...

My 19 year old, who doesn't live here (but is visiting for the weekend) just asked me if he is "allowed" out for any hour after tea. The man has tattoos and bills and a beard
Burnt to an absolute crisp (despite factor 90 spf) but it was worth it to hear kiddo suddenly squeal "wait, is that the sea?!" (he thought we were going to buy furniture from fb marketplace) Also where else can you see a jellyfish, a baptism and an elderly ladies ripples in the span of 5 minutes?
Is it rude to set up a sound system and blast music on the beach or am I a miserable cow who is allergic to fun? 🤔

I finished this project yesterday. First time making clothes. Verdict: not awful. Might wear it later
Husband put the clothes i "left on the chair" in the washing machine, how nice. It was in fact the dress that I am currently making, that still had pins in because I am not finished sewing it. And I can't even get annoyed because you can't be mad at someone for tidying up and doing laundry.
What kind of witch launches a new project in mercury retrograde? Me, apparently. The Living Craft is designed to give you confidence in your witchery so you can build a craft that works for you instead of feeling like you're performing someone else's practice VictoriaPearson.co.uk #MagicalBazaar

The last two weeks of term are always exhausting. The last two weeks of kiddos last term in primary school? A whole new level of knackering (and expensive, because what do you mean they need a high powered water pistol by the end of the week??)
If any of you are interested in the meet up we had in honour of @wombat37.bsky.social, over on YouTube @vspearson85.bsky.social has done a brilliant little video about it. #GNUWombat youtu.be/F8tASlW5MR0?...

Mr Murder Paws caught another rat today, and brought it into my house. The scream I screamt. Pretty sure the cat lost a little respect for me. I am so glad my husband was here to deal with that little situation. #NotMyCat
