I’ll try my best, but it’s so very grey!

Aww such a soft fluffy visitor!

Absolutely, 100% To not want to see it, doesn't mean we do not care. It means that we are all too aware of it already, and do not need to be shown it for shock value.

I did take a month away from bsky, but it wasn't for any reason other than I was in a panic about starting my MSc in January, but I have now realised that I should survive!

Oh that series has a special place in my heart. There's not been anything like it for years, to since!

Now I feel the teensiest bit guilty for pre-ordering a signed copy. Sorry!

I didn't want to lose the original slate surround, so I had to find an installation company who were willing to work around that! Slate tends to not like being moved, and some of them wouldn't risk it... but all went well, and now my 1880s surround has a 2024 hearth and burner to match 😍

It was heartbreaking to realise I wouldn't have a use for it, as it had already been dumped and left to rust. This way I can still enjoy it, and it gets to live a new life

I think that’s the best one! In USA they’re called Temptations… but the yellow is chicken instead of cheese.

Thank you! I love that list of reactions to my ups and downs of that day. My recovery was swift (post Chinese food take away), today feels wonderful!
