So cold out today that I'm starving. It's taking an immense amount of willpower to not cook the entire food contents of the kitchen for tonight's dinner 😋

Drumpf has seemingly forgotten that the only country to have called on Nato's 'one in all in' ethos was the U.S (after the devastating events of 9/11). He consistently derides Nato despite this

My book Grey Feather is available in Kindle, Paperback, & Hardback (because I love a hardback!), and I know I'm biased but it's a great read #Books #Reading amzn.eu/d/8ABZjty

So this!
Shyness & Self-Doubt: Many authors feel awkward promoting themselves or worry their work isn't good enough, hindering consistent efforts.

My friend made this door from scratch. My gast is flabbered. I knew she could turn her hand to most things but this is another level 😍

I would normally be gearing up for #NaNoWriMo but as it's no more I'm going to keep my own daily word count on a blog post. I know it's daft but it does help. I like an intensive writing month but a daily goal ensures I feed people, shower, you know, life!

#Evri #scamming us again. They emailed stating 2 parcels we sent were each 1.2kg when in fact they were 150/160 GRAMS and charged us extra. They provide no proper evidence, and expect us to send pictoral evidence of parcels that are already delivered 🤬

I was hoping Sarah Pochin (prime eg of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing) would be on here so I could send advert screenshots, perhaps a day's worth. All in the interests of research of course.

A few (probably cynical) points...
Drumpf let us know he'd 'negotiated' the peace deal just before NPP noms. Good timing.

Almost certain that all other & preceding nominees didn't even think about the NPP until it was offered.

Coco is such a little show off. Had a horrible work day & have come down to her tearing across back of sofa, climbing walls, & trying to knock pictures off said walls. Oh, & looking at me as she scratches sofa 😳😅🤣 #NaughtyTortie #Cats

@krishna-author.bsky.social Hi, I hope you don’t mind, I mentioned you in a blog post & quoted your … ‘me make book, you buy book’. Is that okay?

Apparently #Packlink deems a photo of random parcels in the back of delivery driver's car sufficient to confirm successful delivery 😡

Who'da thunk there would be so many mentions of the word gusset when making a jacket. Someone threw in moist too... 🤢 #GBSewingBee

#Sky in their (lack of) wisdom, have removed the 'reminder' function on the #SkyQ box. I didn't find out until it was being installed & this would have been a deal breaker for me had I known. Those into sport want to watch live, not record & watch later (engineer's reasoning) 😠
