Shall we take a bet on the chances of it ever stopping raining in England in 2026?

Could #Ipswich have been a great seat of learning? We'll never know what might have happened if Thomas Wolsey had lived, and not fallen out with Henry VIII. open.substack.com/pub/chicksng...
Ipswich - a famous esteemed seat of higher education?
...well, if Henry VIII hadn't had a tantrum!

Anyone who says #mounjaro is cheating, when I've just done three hours in the gym in two days, a swim, and rather a lot of walking, is asking to be walloped with a kettlebell, quite honestly... 💪 #weightloss #wegovy #ozempic
Isn't Mounjaro cheating?
...ooh - controversial!

My phone just beeped with a Met Office yellow snow warning (nobody likes yellow snow), Netweather.tv says we're in for rain, and Weather Bug is predicting thunderstorms later. Well I suppose one of them will be right.

Silkies. Utterly cute, a bit barmy and definitely worth saving from euthanasia-friendly vets. Een when it takes six months of TLC. #backyardchickens #chickens #hens

It's an amazing win, when after eight months of #mounjaro you realise that you can finally wear the ring your late dad left you over ten years ago. He would have been so happy to see me finally manage to get healthy again. 💔🥰

I've seen some really daft #mounjaro related questions on Facebook support groups. So I wrote my own little guide to what you need to know. Enjoy! open.substack.com/pub/chicksng...

Today has felt very Monday. It was definitely a job for chickens, who can cheer me up with one squawk of their little beaks, or a not-so-subtle tap on the door, hounding me for snacks when I'm in the kitchen making coffee. This is what I saw when I opened the back door... Love those daft birds 🥰

Sunday afternoon, post-holiday, post-weekend, post-Christmas, January inspired "What am I going to do with my life this year" feeling right now. I hope it involves travel, nice people and cheese.

My abiding memory of Madonna's 'Vogue' is attempting to learn all the choreography for a Dancercise fitness class, and either being able to get the arms co-ordinated or the legs and feet, but never both at the same time... #totp

Tonight's retro #totp fest has been singularly uninspiring. Was 1998 really this dull? I'm sure I bought loads of albums that year.

Beginning to question my decision to watch more #TOTP 1998 - Oh Mama it's terrible. Some of these tunes are that bad I forgot them halfway through listening to them.
