I grew up in NE England. Thatcher arrived. Destroyed communities who still haven't recovered. And remember selling off all social housing for profit?

@marcusjdl.bsky.social Tales from the RAV4. "Hey, you look cute. Why the screaming face like Edvard Munch? Need a lift somewhere?" (Lincolnshire).

Aye I used my RAV4 in a quarry before scrap in 2019 after 20 years. Childhood started with a Fiat 500 (driven to Cornwall), Mini Clubmans(I lay in the back), an Austin Montego disaster, then a Datsun waffle. I moved out to Uni and transitioned to Golfs. Then my RAV babe.

And madam, I spent most of my childhood without eyebrows, always smouldering, and got an A* in chemistry O level.

Now then. If only I were well enough to offer a pole dancing in red #Archaeology PPE knickers and one knitted sock contribution... noting that modelling is excluded. I miss my London Soho days 😘

That's true, although we did have rain one day.

#Archaeology #SiteSaturday throwback to the very hot summer 2013: RESCUED FROM THE SEA Low Hauxley Northumberland, England. Mesolithic after the tsunami, Bronze Age, sand, flint, peat, hazelnuts, footprints, beaker burial, bone. archaeologicalresearchservices.com/projects/res...

Yer wee #LongCovid #Archaeologist changed 4 spot-light bulbs today, after 5yrs, stepladder. Dizzy, wobbly, swollen feet. These new-fangled bulbs (2-pin-twist needing suction cup, damp tongue or sticky OAP on a pole) are a nightmare. But light has returned. [Pic is before]. Progress before relapse.

Recalling that Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson is an immigrant to Britain, Born in New York. They returned to avoid tax.
"Born: 19 June 1964 (age 61 years), Upper East Side, New York, United States". And a chaotic serial lying assh*le. QED. All facts.

Loveliest cheer-me-up pressie from John Piprani at Manchester Uni - replica flint handaxe and message on a beer mat. A thud through the letterbox. Thank you pet, smiling x

#FindsFriday #FlintFriday #Archaeology reprise. I offer a typical N Yorkshire (England) uplands Mesolithic flint portfolio from the overlap period between the hunter-gatherers and first Neolithic farmers, pot & salt makers around 3800 BCE. More C14 dates due soon. timevista.co.uk/about/resear...

GODS I nearly fell again, hour ago. Caught my toe in furniture. Twisting jelly knees, spiraling in vertigo-vortex, but grabbed on. Caught myself. Otherwise another night on the floor. #LongCovid. The brain-balance stuff is surreal (MCAS, Dysautonomia, POTS etc). I'm into my 6th year in major crash.

Whoop. Look forward. How did it go? Did the Mesolithic win? Pic of my peat bog here if ever we get the chance. All best.

Normally in long covid coma sleep since 2020. No barbetine. Hoping the big Neo bowl gets to Tees Archaeology, I'm doing a big teaching collection handover to them (Emma), flints, bronze, pot n'all, nice preso cases n'stuff. I'm just not well enough to teach anymore. Housebound. Damn SARS2 Covid. 😱

@greenparty.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social Hello. What's the Green Party's position on Universal Basic Income (UBI)? Everywhere it's been piloted globally it appears to have worked, for individuals, families, health & well-being, aspiration, equality, employment, societally, economically.

every lidle chicken counts? (It's mostly intended for things such as veg peels etc when you don't have a garden or compost). I tink the worst we've had here are a few discarded pensioners and a jehovas witness.

With #LongCovid into my year 6, since 2020 wave-1 infection, hospital reviewed, scanned, prodded, housebound, mostly bed-bound, this picture is what it feels like. I've 100 pages of stuff to scan-in tomorrow, simply to prove I exist, to try stay in my house a few more years (Equity Release). Help 😭
