Retired NHS Nurse/Midwife. Believe in Social equity. Cumbrian born and bred. Rather talkative. 🤦‍♀️
Just having a quiet cup of tea in bed. OH getting angry as Alexa doesn’t understand his Cumbrian dialect when he says Alexa Home. It made me giggle in the dark days before Christmas. 🤭

So sorry to hear that Angela Rayner has resigned. She may have made an error but my goodness she is a great politician. We need more ordinary people, but MSM want to keep the status quo and will stop at nothing!!

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

I’ve not been able to drive since early March due to foot surgery. Been out today with OH and did my emergency stop. And drove home. I’m free!!!
Really missed it.

Just saw a jackdaw chasing a bat. Then found out they eat them! Nature can be cruel.

Non weight bearing for 6 weeks due to surgery, nearly 4 weeks in. OH has been running the home with military precision. Making healthy meals, shopping, laundry, bed changes et al. His skill developed further… he changed the digital clocks on the boiler and cooker today! What a star!😉

Well, ridge tiles off the roof, hit the car, lots of debris around, main roads closed. Eowyn is a pain.
We’re safe though hope everyone else stays safe.

Well the storm has arrived in Cumbria. Power cuts, schools closed, shops closed. Hunkering down.
Hope all those that have to be out in this stay safe.

Just made some soup. Flavour not quite right. OH said ‘curry powder’. Tried it, not in the recipe, he was right! Why?? He can scarcely boil an egg!
