A bit choked up. Someone I know, socially, who is a police officer dealing with SV/DA cases has just told me that she deals with cases that come under the offence of non-fatal strangulation on a daily basis.
I was one of the women who spoke out to show why this law was needed.

Have gone through two sets of bike lights for #rowing outings this winter. They either break or simply aren’t bright enough.
Can anyone recommend any?
Need to be able to fit to rigger/bow of boat.
Ideally rechargeable
Good brightness/size
Won’t break the bank
🙏

Currently taking bets on how long this will stay up before one, two or all three of my cats are in it. One bauble casualty so far…

Treated myself to a bottle of Chanel Coco Mademoiselle on Black Friday, which has just arrived. Naturally, I am now swanning around the house, in my leggings and cardi, smelling fantabulous.

One of my cats - Oscar - decided to come up and give me a real cuddle this morning. He’s such a wonderful animal.

It’s 2c. I’m working under a pile of blankets, trying to hype myself up to get changed and go downstairs to do my 30 min erg session. Reluctant would be an understatement.

Not remotely shocked by this. Surprised it’s not already happened tbf…

Everyone seems to be finding their breaking point with The Other Place. I guess I should explain mine: it was the realisation that ⬇️ this ⬇️ wasn’t the first or even second such threat I’ve received on there, but more like the hundredth. I’d almost come to expect them and that’s just not right.

I’m slowly moving over here from the Hellscape. In the meantime, please enjoy this picture of Boo, my cat, enjoying the warmth of the fireplace…
