Yes, I am still interested in getting to Cathays but the train I’m on has been held outside Cardiff Central so I’ve now missed the 10:41 that would’ve got me to Cathays.

Curse the day the direct train from Cadoxton to Cathays ended. Makes it much harder getting from Barry to the Sherman Theatre.
A message from Trainline saying “are you still interested? Head out to Cathays. On a phone with the time 10:41.

Happy 21st birthday for yesterday to my Primark dressing gown which is now as old as I was when I received her from my Grandma & Grandad.

Is this deinfluencing?
A close up of a cosy leopard print dressing gown. My straggly blonde hair falls on the should and my hand holds the lapel.

🧵We’ve curated this collection of her work. In her own words, from her Instagram project Not Much Rhymes With Cancer: “in parts an outpouring of emotion, a place to vent and expel negative thoughts. Mostly it’s a tale of hope, positivity and gratitude.”
The book Not Much Rhymes With Cancer held in front of a fence. The cover has splodges of colour in purple and lime green with the title of the book in pink. There are some line illustrations of butterflies and a female figure walking with head held high and leaves in her hair.

🧵We lost Em in 2022 and I miss her so bloody much. She’s a main character in my childhood, teenage years and as alleged adults.
I’m so glad I got to see her shine when she read her work at poetry salons and delivered poetry workshops, I was and am so proud of her.
Emily and Megan as primary school children and in their 30s. Two photos, one of two geeky 11 year olds grinning and giggling in school uniform holding up pictures of dolphins. The other photo below is of the same two women in their thirties with big smiles, waved hair and full faces of makeup. Emily is the bride on the left and Megan a bridesmaid on the right.

🧵 Super proud to announce the publication of Not Much Rhymes With Cancer by Emily Thomas.

A real labour of love and a special collaborative project by some of Em’s mates & family. A privilege to have been part of making this happen.
So proud that Em’s words are out there.

Books on shelves in a book shop. Middle of image is Not Much Rhymes With Cancer by Emily Thomas. Not Much Rhymes With Cancer book on a window sill with a dog paw and plant at the edge of the shot. Two smiling women in fake fur coats smile at a garden party. Emily is on the left with her short dark hair and Megan (me!) on the right with a blonde bob.

Anyone else get a kick out of the a best before date when it’s your birthday or, in this case, Christmas?

A buttery advent calendar.
A packet of butter with this printed on it: best before 25 Dec 24. An excellent cup of tea and box of fake supermarket own weetabix in the background.
