It's hard to believe that 12 months have passed and it's Lincoln Castle Illuminated again. I swear blind the New Year was last week.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you're allowed to be selective about who you interact with on social media. Not everyone has your best intentions at heart and like to prey on the vulnerable.
Be careful out there folks.

I love clear glass ornaments on my tree because they pick up the colours lights so beautifully like magical everlasting bubbles and icicles. Merry Christmas Eve everyone. 🌲🎄❄️

Quite seriously: when you see an author endlessly promote their book, and you get tired of it, remember that only a small fraction of their network sees any single post, let alone their network’s network. And be kind to each other.
This is why the folks complaining about self-promotion need to get bent. Finally bought this because it struck my fancy at the moment, excited to dig in.

The #Roman auxiliary fort at Segontium was founded by the governor of Britannia, Cnaeus Julius Agricola, in AD 77. It followed the suppression of the Ordovices, the last tribe to hold out against Roman forces in #Wales.

Sitting in the eye clinic. There's a nurse loudly, and patiently, giving instructions to someone.
"Put your chin down! Open your eyes!
Close your mouth!"
On repeat.
I'm here giggling silently.
