Pretty wild that United are being blamed for not arguing enough about the shove on the goalie. Our fault, obvs! 🤨

(Must stop listening to the radio now)

Absolutely! ☺️

Aah, I bet you have an amazing collection!

If I could spend all my time searching for 80s shirts, I’d be very happy indeed. I admit, happening across this one was *a moment*

[Image: A photo of me in a multi-coloured vintage shirt. I hired a very grey - and extremely unjoyful - meeting room so I could have a quiet space for the workshop. The situation absolutely called for a sartorial dopamine hit].

Absolutely - more places need dressing up for adults! It was so much fun and totally made the experience. I wanted to keep the bonnet 😅

I found my happy place yesterday, sitting on a bench at the National Trust’s Lyme, wearing Regency costume.

The costumes are free; visitors can borrow them to wander the grounds, Regency style 😍

Such a great day out. More dressing up opportunities at heritage sites, please!

Sorry, but I believe it’s May tomorrow and I’m not sure how this has happened?

PSG were an irrelevance in European football until a state-backed project transformed them into a symbol of modern football’s moral drift - soft power, sportswashing, and influence beyond the pitch. Good as they are, success built on that model leaves a bitter taste.
