Don’t follow me. I’ll just bore you with how I was a graphic designer for 20 years then retrained as a journalist 20 years ago but still consider myself a designer. See!

After reviewing my social media choices I'm only on this platform and Instagram now. But I looked up alternatives for my dog's tracking device on Safari and now I can't go on Instagram anymore as there are more ads for one particular dog tracker than actual posts from accounts I follow

I live in a solid house – low and wide and hunkered into the ground. Even the internal walls are solid brick. But it's 1m above sea level all that separates it from that sea is about 5km of flat land. Storm Goretti is pretty scary.

Another day, another YouGov survey and yet another day since the last election when the survey doesn't ask my voting intention if there were to be an election tomorrow. I've been doing YG surveys since it started and my answer to this question has always been Labour. 🤔

I, a cis woman, left my WI after becoming fed up with many of the members clinging on by their fingernails to outdated views. The world is changing and we all should embrace the future and not cling on to the past.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Richard Branson was in a motorway crash in the 90s and was told that if he hadn’t been in a Range Rover he would have died and he changed all his company cars to RR. He didn’t shut up about it for a long time. Perhaps that started the big car thing.

We had to have a referendum to leave the EU. But we don't get a say in withdrawing from the European Court of Human Rights? 20 years ago I had enough money to consider buying a flat and applying for residency in Germany but never got round to it. Now I'm skint and stuck on Crazy Island forever.

I miss subeditors. The first sentence of this restaurant review is so mangled that I don’t know if the writer knew “the Romney Marshes” are in Kent or not, nor if they cared.
