Are these stamps still valid? I'm sure I only bought them last Christmas but they do not have a barcode & can't work out from the Royal Mail website if I can use them or not. Don't want to send my great aunt a Xmas card & land her with a few but equally don't want to buy new ones if I don't have to

On android you can do speech to text from your keyboard, on mine you click this circled in yellow and speak and it will type for you, no need to open notes or anything.

Thought I could hear a drone (of the domestic kind) buzzing around, realised it's several bees having their dinner from my very overgrown honeysuckle 😍

Maybe when you post the screenshots, you could copy and paste the text into the alt text box of the image? That has a 2000 character limit so your longer posts would probably still fit. I still have twitter, mainly as I have alerts set for you & John Sweeney, to know you're safe

We went to the cycling show at the NEC, Wiggins was just walking round, followed him for ages, he kept being stopped by middle aged men for photos. We caught him when he stopped to get a drink & he was really lovely. Met Colin Jackson at the running show there in Feb & he was a dream

I'm sorry but what in the BBC?! Have you been hacked? Pretty sure that in the UK we still just call it football here or has 🍊 declared it soccer now? #WorldCupQualification #FIFA

I'm not sure what M&S were going for in the styling of this dress, if they were going for "I've put my back out" and "the existential threats to the world are too real so the foetal position it is" then they've nailed it.

Murano and Burano are both beautiful, Murano is a much slower pace than Venice itself and the food and drink are a bit cheaper

Sorry @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social but BBC news aren't on here so maybe you can help. This article about Kendrick Lamar/Drake talks about the allegations against drake having relationships with 'underage women'. Underage women are in fact children, girls. Not yet women. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The sweary-ness of it sums up my current feelings towards the 🍊 one and Elmo

My sister loves the moomins, I made her a little Mi (sp?) for Christmas last year. I don't seem to have photographed her on her own but here she is with Tintin and a Babushka

Haven't been able to see the end of my street since Christmas day, let alone the ☀️ thoroughly depressing weather, made all the worse by every other house having a log burner and the smoke hanging heavy in the air.
