The best songs on the latest Taylor Swift album are The Fate of Ophelia, Father Figure and The Life of a Showgirl.

14yo agrees with me on this, so I must be right.

Haha, well I suppose the idea is you have to force them to make it! But if they won’t, then yeah.

Well, let’s see: there are chicken shop boxes and used condoms everywhere and a filthy discarded sofa we call The Sofa of Shame cos it’s been there for three years and hasn’t been collected by the council. I think I can work it out

Me: I’ve been looking at bridal makeup artists, but they’re all so expensive and will probably make me look terrible. I’m going to try to learn to do the eye makeup I want myself, with wings

Fiancé: When you say ‘with wings’ I just hear that old sanitary towel advert from the early 90s!

Fiancé goes upstairs

Me: Would you mind bringing down my Apple Watch?

Fiancé: Of course

Me: Thanks

Fiancé: No, I meant ‘of course I’d mind!’

I still think about the time I took a leaving card around the office for people to sign, and one bloke on a Teams call distractedly grabbed it and scrawled ‘Happy birthday! Nick’.

The NHS and social care would cease to function under UK govt’s new rules on foreign staff.

Workers will have to wait – from 5 to 10 years – before they can apply for indefinite leave to remain, claim any benefit, childcare, or housing support, despite paying taxes

Govt appeasing Reform.

NHS could cease to function under Labour’s new visa rules, say nurses

Exclusive: Royal College of Nursing says plan to tighten rules for foreign workers is ‘pandering’ to Reform UK

Groundbreaking! The UK Armed Forces has sworn in its first-ever humanist pastoral carer – Dr Neil Weddell. This means thousands of non-religious service personnel will have access to like-minded pastoral support that genuinely reflects their values and worldview. 🧵

I don’t put testimonials on my photography site as anyone can make them up, but if I had a testimonials page then this sweet message would be going on it!
