Friday.

You turned a clusterfuck into a butterfly.

Fasted all morning, went to Pilates, drank lots of water. Felt virtuous. Walked past the cake shop. Am now breaking the fast with a whopping chunk of coffee and walnut cake. This, my friends, is true balance.

Only two. Why am I so disappointed by that? My inbox is overflowing and yet…

I too have been waiting. Surely it’s coming….

Does Zainab even know the history? She came along after all that and doubt people would have volunteered the info?

70+ people killed by Israeli strikes in Gaza since the ceasefire was announced and before its implementation on Sunday.
That is some sort of sick.
It didn’t NEED to happen!

I think he’s got more to fear from Joy….

That was my first thought.

At this point I (almost) feel sorry for Gnasher. She’s shown some empathy for Kirsty and Fallon. Tom’s involvement in the Fallon/Emmur fallout was pure self-interest. I’m hoping Joy is going to be very capable of putting him in his place when he moves in…

Absolute arse. He’s getting worse and worse. No redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Where’s his personal tutor in all this? As an ex- HE worker all first years had a personal tutor and a termly check in…

Show yourself Rochelle #TheArchers

😂😂😂 ooh what if she’s on here too…

If Joy and Rochelle were estranged for so many years that Joy didn’t have her address, how did Rochelle know where Joy was?

Oh they’re going to string out Rochelle’s story for another five years aren’t they!

Singapore? Beavers in Ambridge. I pause for a week or two (or three) and everything goes crazy!

Are there actual beavers or just the promise of future beavers? Is Kirsty flaunting said beavers to Rex? Do we know Rochelle’s story yet? Why do they screw with poor old Brad and when will someone notice Burns is on a sure path to breakdown?

Woefully behind on #TheArchers. What do I need to know? Catch me up!

I figure one day feeling awful, a day malingering and then by Thursday I will bounce back. Tickets to see Twelfth Night and I’m not prepared to miss out.

He already believes that

Ugh. I’d love Helen to be made to stand on her own two feet. Pat and Tony should sell the bloody lot to fund the eco self-build and leave H&T to sort themselves out.

I’m with them. There’s no such thing as too many baubles….

Unsurprisingly, having had the small boy coughing in my face for over a week, I have succumbed to the lurg. I can shake it by Thursday, right?

It’s very good. But yes, watch your blood pressure 😂

Invisible Women, Caroline Criado Perez, fascinating and brilliant but I have to read in small chunks as it makes me angry!

Not up to date on #TheArchers this week but just musing over my kefir how Tom would have made a fortune had they pursued his kefir and kombucha dreams…

I agree, but I think people see that Pete has genuinely worked hard and it doesn’t come naturally to him. There’s always at least one ‘joke’ entry and a couple of trained or naturally good dancers… and whilst the judges do their thing, the public vote for their fave, not the best dancers.

We’ve not caught up yet, but I will say that Tasha has years of dance training and Pete has clearly only had what he’s had on Strictly. You can’t compare the two… and people love an underdog story. They need to maybe level the competitor playing field next year…
