The universe has its plans for us. We're still here for a reason. Let's live well so Death will tremble to take us. Don't take each day or people for granted. Don't waste your time on idiot people. Live your life to be happy in whatever makes you happy. Wear sunscreen.

So here's a Giant Wotsit next to a 10p coin for scale - they're giant. They taste like Flaming Hot Monster Munch. Very tasty imo 😋
And to answer @theresa-c.bsky.social 's question ... as you can see, I can fit four Giant Wotsits in my mouth!
Can you do better?! 😆

BBC headline utterly failing. ‘The saga of a £165m rail line that keeps causing travel chaos’
It’s not the rail line that “keeps causing travel chaos” its the shifting climate with more prolonged and intense rainfall and more frequent storms leading to landslips and the sea wall being washed out.

That feeling you've wet yourself when you're going through a scan to remind you that you're a woman of a certain age ...
Reader, I did *not* wet myself. It's just a warm feeling you get down there that feels like you've wet yourself when you go for a CT scan & they use that dye. Nothing exciting 😌

Something perhaps not mentioned enough about the digitised world is how much it encourages us to be more ruthless, untrusting people. I refuse to acquiesce to that. I refuse to change my default mode from thinking the best of people until they prove otherwise. I will not submit to the icy nastiness.
