I'm going to have to start using bluesky more. Threads just duplicate all my posts via app until I uninstall so it's unusable except on desktop. So will see if I can find similar people here.

Picked up a mistle thrush on the merlin app for the first time. A new bird on the farm/garden to add. Love the dawn chorus. So many different birds (and people say farming destroys habitats. Beg to differ here)

So, Threads keeps multiplying all my posts, and I'm getting no response to help. So looks like I'll have to make an effort here instead.

Urgh, Amazon Prime music is rubbish. I want to add 1 track to my line dancing playlist, but no, it won't play that song, just every other song off the album except the one I want. Now having to play through my playlist, and it still won't play that track, it's now playing tracks not even on the list

Son finally has elastics on braces. He wore them overnight but won't wear them for school because he'd be faffing before school, at break, before and after PE, breaktimes with playing football, eating. Then after school he'll want to eat. How many times a day are other kids switching theirs out?

Overflowing wash basket from son which includes 5 school shirts, 4 pairs of jeans, football kit, and 2 pairs of joggers (hvent seen him in joggers for weeks). But no school trousers. Sigh. He'll have to come and find them while I'm ut because he'll have none to wear on Monday otherwise

It seems starting line dancing means I listen to a lot more music at home. Country Heat station on Alexa is my preferred.

Child has finally got round to clearing out his t shirt drawer (only taken since the summer). 4 still with tags on, 2 also I don't think he's worn. Will Vinted some, some are ok for charity shop, rest will go for rags. Now we'll be able to fit everything in. Next up... underwear drawer, I hope

My Le Creuset casserole dish is looking ok. Getting there removing the blackened 5 hours forgotten about in the top of the aga beef casserole, when I meant to put it in the simmering oven after only 10 minutes. Phew. Had to get takeaway pizza in the end as none in the freezer, and shop is tomorrow

Such good fun at line dancing class again. Met 2 more new people, learnt 2 new dances as well as going through the 4 previously learnt. And got a bit of a sweat on by the end

My alarm went off at 7. On a Sunday. Could really have done with another hour. But son has a car washing job at 9, and he needs me to get him and his stuff there as a bike wouldn't work. Then I'm going to get my own car washed which isn't a good advert for his car washing skills currently

Reckon it's warmer outside in the sun than it is in the house, even with a bit of heating on, and my blanket over me. But the fog is now coming in.

Note to anyone who starts to following with low followers/but multiple thousands you're following, you'll likely be blocked (sorry, but no remove follower option on here). Especially if you're either just reposting rubbish, have no bio, no real profile pic, or have no discussion on here.

Evidently the sausages I bought were too dry and disgusting. So now that's the farm shop lincolnshire sausages that were previously rated as close to MIL's homemade ones ruled out, as well as the ones from the butchers. I despair.

Great. Yet again the road from through/from the village is going to be closed on a rolling roadblock to fix issues supposedly still ongoing from the 3 months it was closed March to July last year. So again, we'll not know if the school bus will pick up at the village/outside (the other side) or not.

Heading into the office today for first day back for new starter welcomes. Hopefully everyone else will be in as planned too. Just stopped snowing now. Hopefully that's it as the weather forecast says and it'll dry up/be sunny later

Can tell it's a football match on Saturday against our nearest team (which includes rugby friends of some of our football team). 15 out of 16 of the team are available to play. No training for 2 weeks, the coach has suggested a run tomorrow for each of them!

Son needs some 'smart' shoes/trainers he's been saying for ages. I've got vouchers I won for Schuh, and cashback instant vouchers so can get some good savings. But he won't want to come shopping tomorrow with me. So he'll have to go without. I'm not buying shoes without him trying them on.
