Hollie comes from my town, the kids I coach at the club love seeing her on the TV, she's a massive inspiration and a great ref.

It feels like both France and England are trying very hard not to win this.

It's 11am and my dog has already destroyed the 3 new toys she got for Christmas.

Can I just check, is this the sort of thing we're blocking for?

In a *the other place* thread about a minor celebrity, I mentioned having met him. A complete stranger immediately called me a liar and when I asked him to elaborate he said "You've got form". I checked his profile to see if I knew him somehow (I don't) and it was almost exclusively Wordle grids.

Feeling reasonably old today, because my inexplicably painful ankle won't allow me to use my standing desk to try and alleviate my bad back (which I "injured" on Saturday by trying to pick up a t-shirt without warming up first).

Happy 1st of 24 days of a little piece of chocolate first thing in the morning

Met some people I admire yesterday, including a genuine childhood hero. All were absolute gents.

I'll never stop considering myself extremely lucky to live here.

I am new here. This is my dog. This will not be a dog account, I just thought people might like to see her.
