Middle Class Woman of a Certain Age.
I iron my flags. Original member of the Guardian reading tofu eating wokerati. Cat lady. Mum of Small. Wife of Husbeast. Views mine but certain they are shared by lots of other people.

I work from home and Dave and Chewbacca (Chew Chew Maggie McGrew) are ever present office buddies.
My cats are ace. The Mandalorian is around somewhere but he’s busy telling everyone that this is The Way.

Enjoy a small glimpse into absolute WFH heaven.
Chewie is a striped sandy cat and is stretched out on a grey mat. Dave is a grey cat and is watching Chewie impassively. I am a middle class woman of a certain age and I am smiling at the camera with Dave the grey cat asleep on my black office chair and Chewie the striped sandy cat asleep by some boxes on the floor. Dave the grey cat is looking at the camera and is sat on my lap. I am a middle class woman of a certain age and I am smiling at the camera and wearing a ghastly jumper.

Husbeast and I have returned to the security blanket of Glorious by Eddie Izzard. We’re covered in beeeeees. And Dave the cat is asleep not dead.
Our living room with a tv in the background showing Eddie Izzard. Two armchairs with cushions on and a big red rug with a sleeping grey cat called Dave.

Deactivated the Xitter nonsense and deleted app from phone.
Celebrated with putting up picture of coo.
I am a middle class woman of a certain age looking at the lens with a picture of a highland coo in the background. I have a slight smile, a nose ring, and I’m wearing a ghastly fleece that I love. The coo is a sandy rusty coo colour on a black background.

Christmas wishes from us to you. Wales putting on a show before we tootled back indoors for teatime picnic and Wallace and Gromit.
A middle class woman of a certain age is on the left and looking at the camera. She is wearing a snazzy jumper. On the right is an 11 year old girl with her back to the camera. The sky is filled with pink clouds. The sky is filled with pink clouds and a few trees are silhouetted in the foreground

Work Christmas party successfully traversed. Everyone home by 11pm and minimal hangovers today. I have two weeks off then start new job. Let shenanigans commence!
I’m a middle class woman of a certain age wearing a green velvet trouser suit with dark trainers, smiling and posed in front of a set for a Swiss alps party. I am pointing at the tall green direction signs.

Ah thank you iTunes. Fleetwood Mac and Meute. Delighted that my child listening to iTunes no longer buggers up my stats and actually adds to them instead 😊
Picture of fleetwood mac - my most listened to band of 2024 with 813 minutes Picture of fleetwood mac album “rumors” and the words “top song” at 163 plays in 2034 Picture of album cover for MEUTE (said Moi-teh) and their album Empor. Most played album for me in 2024.

My morning brew in my most cherished mug from lovely chum from New Jersey - I hoped so hard for Kamala (Brit supporting from afar). Four years of fire on the horizon…
A black and white photograph of a woman smiling at the camera holding a HARRIS WALZ mug and wearing a sweatshirt with “Madam President” on. She has curly wavy hair and hoped very hard for a Harris Walz win.

My Small (age 11 and a half) is a voracious reader. Literary gold in her hands. I’ll be staggering down memory lane with this once she’s finished it.

A young person is holding a book open and reading. The book is The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole by Sue Townsend. The person’s face cannot be seen and they are wearing colourful pyjamas.

MAORRRR CAAAATS!
This is Dave the cat. He is here for your soul. Don’t worry, he brought his own bag.
A woman with dark hair tied up is on the left and a grey cat is on the right of the frame. They are both looking at the camera. The woman is holding her chin in her hand and smiling and the cat has a shiny collar on. The cat has pink glowing ears from the direction of the light and his eyes are very green.

Alt-text makes pictures and posts so much more accessible. And do the alt-text properly; describe what the image is showing and if it has text, add the text. Alt-text isn’t just for low or visually impaired people, it can provide context for everyone. Please and thank you.
Here is Chewie helping.
A stripy sand and brown coloured cat is standing on the outstretched legs of their owner and facing towards the camera. The cat is destroying the macrame cord that her owner is working on. The cat’s owner is wearing blue jeans. The cat is a delight but likes to help with all things.

She’s not trying to judge you. It comes naturally.
Good morning!
A sandy and brown striped cat is lying down on a fluffy patterned blanket. The cat is looking at the camera.

We absolutely do. This is Dave. He thinks everyone and everything is an abomination.
A grey cat is lying inside a paper bag and looking at the camera. He is grumpy. The foreground is a cream coloured tile.

I’m enjoying @gregjenner.bsky.social being the historian welcoming committee and signposting accounts from the Other place. History and politics are covered! Where are the chaotic over 40 slightly (very) frazzled undiagnosed neurospicy pals I haven’t met yet…? Picture of bara brith for attention.
A slice of bara brith - Welsh fruit cake - with a thick layer of butter is sitting on a small white plate. Another pat of butter is wrapped in yellow foil paper.

Good morning from the majestic and mostly morally corrupt Dave. Rules the house, brings in mice as gifts, despises the other cats and barely tolerates the hooman beans.

A grey cat is sitting and looking up beyond the camera. He has a red and grey collar on and looks like a he plotting the downfall of governments.

Mando and Chewie are two of my three cats. Expect Dave updates at some point. Glad to be bleeting (skeeting?) rather than xittering.
Let shenanigans commence.

A black cat and striped brown cat are lying on a comfy and colourful blanket in a bedroom. The black cat has his paw stretched out towards the camera and the striped cat has her head tilted towards the camera. They both have their eyes open a little bit and they both look sleepy and comfortable.
