I've been called 'young lady' TWICE in the last couple of days. Wondering if I'm looking good, or so old that only flattery will save me. I'm going for looking good! 😁

As it's Neil Young's 80th, here's maybe my favourite clip of him in action. Not a solo thing, weirdly, but the CSNY torching of Down By The River at Celebration Big Sur. The face-off with Stills is for the ages. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNnM...

Being able to make fun of yourself is a great quality. It shows you don't take yourself too seriously & are aware that you, too, are only human. It's mature, charming, confident. To do so in order to make someone else feel better is gold star.

Who will be UK's Rob Jetten?
Looks like the person to lead the left back to credibility needs to be young, charismatic, fresh and genuine. No playing Reform at their own game. No management consultancy branding. No robotic speeches.

A curious judicial sentence… (from BBC website)

I might have not been paying attention again, but is Amber's 'job' just the influencing? It sounded like she was talking about a 'proper job' that she couldn't skive from. #TheArchers

I know I've asked this a few times recently but I've been very unwell for much of this year & am trying to get back on my feet again financially by teaching my workshops again alongside running my Etsy shop.
Please could you give my posts above/below about my workshop a RT if you have a moment?...🌿

In the early 1960s a senior Conservative minister, John Profumo, resigned and inflicted perhaps decisive damage to the electoral prospects of his party for a decade ….. for far less than this
In Britain, a former far-right Reform party politician has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian viewpoints.
Another scandal that should be the end of Reform but will be ignored unless we make a lot of noise about it.

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔
