Like a cat lady, but with shed.
Ex RAF. Approaching retirement, determined to travel, laugh and dress in purple until the end of times, or at least the end of my times. I love dogs, tea, wine, books and my new shed.

The ‘Millionaire Exodus’ the UK Media Told You About Never Actually Happened

The equivalent of 30 stories a day were published about an exodus of wealthy people that a new study finds was "non existent"

I used to love Trumpton.
Things were all so simple then (apart from heading for the 70s, economic turmoil, unemployment , the Troubles, the Cold War etc etc

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71... What do you mean, you haven't signed the Parky Charter petition calling for better Parkinson's care?? We Parkies have an excuse - one of the symptoms of PD is apathy. But as for the rest of you, jump to it! (pretty please..)
Petition: Increase funding for people with Parkinson’s and implement the "Parky Charter"
We want the government to take the decisive five steps set out in the Movers and Shakers' "Parky Charter" and to fulfil the Health Secretary’s promises.

If you're wondering why so many right wing individuals are saying hateful things about the late Pope, the reason is simple: he told them that they should care about other people.

Pope Francis was 88 and obviously in poor health.
Religious leaders, presidents, prime ministers, monarchs should all be retired at 70 - at the latest.
We will give King Charles III a few more years, he had to wait 70 years to get the job.

A woman went to prison for calling for immigrants to be burned alive in their accommodation. I agree with the prison sentence and was horrified by her posts.

I expect the same sentence to be issued to anyone calling for a person to be burned alive. I'm horrified by those who say nothing.

Jean Marsh has died at the age of 90. Brian Shuel's 1961 photograph of the actor hangs in London's National Portrait Gallery and is one of the most striking images in the collection

40 years ago today, I reported to RAF Swinderby for 6 weeks of basic training - marching, cleaning, ironing, running around in combats and making bedpacks!
By the time we finished, I weighed about 90 pounds - I still had a chubby little face though.
40 years. Where did the time go?

Have managed to hurt my back. Trying Deep Heat ointment. It smells like germolene and TCP combined! It's like a little trip to the"medicine cabinet" in my childhood home. Just needs milk of magnesium, Beecham's powders and a few totally useless plasters.

I'm really uncomfortable seeing the photo of Julie Goodyear being all over the media.
It doesn't matter if it was sold or shared, she hasn't chosen to do this. It seems exploitative.

Last month I did a little experiment.

I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky.

The results were...interesting...

This weekend I'm going to throw caution, and possibly my arteries, to the wind and try ginger nuts spread with butter!
Recommended by a young colleague, who insists the butter has to be salted.

I know how to live!

I find it hard to believe that the Russian counteroffensive in Kursk and reactivation of missile salvoes from its Black Sea Fleet wasn’t planned with the expectation Trump would blind Ukraine by cutting off intelligence and satellite reconnaissance

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off.
That's what blackmail looks like.
That's what the world is up against.

Two things are frightening about this. 1 - we have unidentified men dressed in black who are there to intimidate people. 2 - everyone is watching and not physically intervening on her behalf. These are NOT cops. These are thugs.

Very rare for me. It almost makes up for waking up just after 3 a.m.
Almost.
