I’ve never played the game The Last of Us and haven’t sought out spoilers. I am now traumatised. It has destroyed my bank holiday Monday and probably tv for all time. 😳 #TheLastOfUs

We were happy to see our hospice MP @jakerichardsmp.bsky.social a few days ago. As well as talking all things funding, @eveholroyd.bsky.social and I brought Jake up to date with how our services and team have developed over the past year since he last visited.

I moved over here to get away from certain overbearing topics and accounts. So tonight I’m looking for ‘The Traitors’ content and 90% of my search is taking me right back to the content I left behind 😭. I only follow charity people, book people and animal lovers - what’s going on? Someone help!!

At work today we were discussing the pervasive, insidious nature of gossip and what it can do to culture. I likened it to sugar: it has absolutely no positive value, it’s tempting, addictive and it rots your insides. (I felt very clever and pleased with myself at the time! 👩🏫)

It is traditional in Iceland to give the gift of a book to be opened on Christmas Eve. Books are unwrapped and then read together. It is called Jolabokaflod (Christmas book flood). 📖 🎄

I don’t see any downside to this
That’s all the “cheese bought for Christmas” eaten again. Will have to buy some more cheese for Christmas now. And then I’ll eat that too, and be required to go out to buy some more cheese for Christmas. Stuck in a Christmas cheese loop.
