My book was too good so I missed a few things on the timetable 😂😂
I have started giving myself a timetable each day so that I don't just fall into watching TV all day.
It does include TV watching and reading time, I'm very realistic.

I cannot keep having this same conversation. Nearly every customer says it.
Although today a regular came in and thanked me for always listening to her and helping her.

Hey @finchinabq.bsky.social, guess what I did AGAIN last night? 😂😂😂
I was making Indian food for dinner last week and was about 15 minutes away from everything being ready when I realised I hadn't put the rice on.

I don't know if younger people know this but in the 90s we often dressed like we were going to a job interview in an office.

Stephen Miller and JD Vance are inseparable from President Donald Trump at Davos this year. Constantly tightly flanked by his two closest advisors, he’s sporting a fashionable new pair of sunglasses and looking healthier than ever

Ok but like isn't this the second or third time Air Force One had to turn back during an Atlantic crossing. I know we all want it to be about Trump, but what if they forgot to pack Stephen Miller in the earth of his homeland, and had to turn back before crossing the water?
