Boxing clever: Made in Oldstead At Home

It was the hottest day of the year so far and we’d already decided to eat our anniversary dinner in our underwear. Trouble was the dinner was planned for tomorrow and it’d been out for delivery sin…

Yup, this season Mme will be mostly* scoping the details for such buzz words & downsizing.

*In the exceptional circumstances when she'll consider buying clothes, having sworn purchasing abstinence.

2nd gen immigrants held slightly less positive views than 1st gen immigrants when asked about the better/worse effects of immigration on the economy, cultural life & the country as a place to live, however, their views were still more positive compared to those born in the UK to UK-born parents.

team NotLeafy @teamnotleafy.bsky.social · 1d

Oh, down a time-limited rabbit hole.
Using 2 recent waves of The European Social Survey Humphrey et al for NatCen (2024) found 1st & 2nd gen immigrants hold similarly positive attitudes towards the amount of immigration the UK should allow, compared to those born in the UK to UK-born parents.

2nd. gen Mme doesn't understand that either.

Ooh, interesting move! Flavours ahoy. Haven't been there since forever when Mme had work shouts in the area, looks like a return visit could be on the cards.

We thought of you and yours when we heard what had happened. We share the feelings of horror, hope and a profound belief that unity is the way to overcome division.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵
