Happily busy with work, gardening, dogs. Especially dogs. Post mostly about The Archers. Or dogs. Or complete nonsense. Repost implies nowt.

Now you’re just getting your own back by making up words 🤣

As others said… And Rocky is a superstar of his breed! I hope your dental work settles quickly.

Jacqui @jacquicroftie.bsky.social · 4h

Aww, that is cute! Good boy! 🥰

🤢 I hope you enjoyed it but the mere mention just turns my stomach!

Jacqui @jacquicroftie.bsky.social · 5h

Why, thank you, kind Jean! I always try to be nice. Not sure about the intelligent bit 😆 #TheArchers

I’m not anti-drama or pro-dull. A narrative arc around redemption and restoration is just as entertaining and far more realistic and still leaves room for people to fail / new baddies. #TheArchers

Eek - rest if you can, while you can. Good to be free of some stress, though.

Jacqui @jacquicroftie.bsky.social · 12h

I agree - it seems a bit off! #TheArchers

Jacqui @jacquicroftie.bsky.social · 13h

She is good!

Jacqui @jacquicroftie.bsky.social · 14h

I’m sure this will give her a huge boost. My very best wishes to her.

Time for several coffees then. And maybe a bimble.

After a year of bland prison food, sushi sounds quite daring! #TheArchers

Jacqui @jacquicroftie.bsky.social · 17h

That sounds very intense! Hope all goes well.

Jacqui @jacquicroftie.bsky.social · 17h

🤞 How long will she be there? Is it a day case?

Jacqui @jacquicroftie.bsky.social · 17h

T’internet seems to say that, after the first few weeks, clothing parcels depend on individual prison rules. If Amber didn’t follow them, that could explain the ‘loss’ (although you’d think then the PO would have said it was not allowed, not that they hadn’t got there). #TheArchers

Jacqui @jacquicroftie.bsky.social · 17h

How triggering would/could that be for people who have lost loved ones? I know it’s intended as a ‘fun’ part of a game, but I think it might also be unintentionally cruel.

Jacqui @jacquicroftie.bsky.social · 17h

😂 I hadn’t intended to link my idea to the revenge thing tbh. I could just imagine the clothes ending up with someone who would then happen to wear them while committing a crime. But I’m now told they were new clothes so unless Amber had sewn in name labels he should be safe. #TheArchers

Good morning all. Odd jobs day today - get dog food, pick up parcel, etc. We learned yesterday that we will start being paid to export our surplus electricity as of tomorrow, so that feels quite good! I’m enjoying Celebrity Traitors mostly, but I *really* don’t like the coffin shenanigans.

Jacqui @jacquicroftie.bsky.social · 18h

I just found a recipe and will try it with one of our home-grown leeks! Sounds delicious.

Jacqui @jacquicroftie.bsky.social · 18h

I thought everything was checked on the way in, but I’m no expert! #TheArchers

Jacqui @jacquicroftie.bsky.social · 1d

The clothes were first mentioned a few days ago - someone said Amber had sent them in. This is why I was joke-speculating about their significance 😆. I scanned through several episodes but didn’t find it. #TheArchers

Jacqui @jacquicroftie.bsky.social · 1d

Thank you! I just had a look but can’t find the episode… #TheArchers

Jacqui @jacquicroftie.bsky.social · 1d

Were they new, though? I may need to listen again. #TheArchers

Jacqui @jacquicroftie.bsky.social · 1d

I’m watching #CelebrityTraitors and shouting ‘he’s worse than Linda!’ at the telly every time they show Alan 😆

Jacqui @jacquicroftie.bsky.social · 1d

I like him as an actor but he does seem to be getting this a bit wrong!
