I must try harder to use Bluesky more often. Looking at my Discovery feed it's very American heavy. Not a major problem but wheres the rest of the world? 🤔

Batch-cooking Smugness For a few weeks I've been alone, at our home in Spain. My other-half is back in Scotland at the moment. I don't mind. I enjoy time to myself. In fact I b...

Smugness overload, as I batch-cooked yesterday.

**Amazon Kindle Unlimited -- Cost to Authors**

I've always been curious about how authors are paid for having their books on Kindle Unlimited, and if it is a fair return.

Apparently people are flocking to Bluesky since the owner of X became part of the orange man's political team.

They should have left the bird site eons ago as it's toxic.

Summer seems to be over. We had it on Tuesday so we shouldn't be too greedy. ☁️🌧️

For my daily prompting #blog post in #FiftyIn50:

How do you like to watch movies? Are you a theatre goer, a streamer, or do you like physical media?

Good Saturday, world. Enjoy your day.
I have no plans today, which is unusual.

I'm in bed, but my tummy is rumbling. Do I power through and ride it out, or get up for a snack?

Big decision! 🤣

Blink once for yes 😜

Food Favourites What is your favourite food? Why do you like it? What is your history with it? Today, my blogging fans (yes, both of you!), we are talking food in my Fiftyin50 challenge.  Picking a favourite...

My prompt for today's blog post: What is your favourite food?

It's quarter to the #weekend. Yipee

#Trump kissing the helmet on a mannequin with the firefighters uniform on it is cringe worthy. He has no shame.

There are far more respectful ways to acknowledge the man who tragically lost his life.

Oh, and spell his name correctly too if you're gonna mock up a uniform for the cameras.

Admiration from afar. Blogging Challenge Day #3: What woman in your family do you most admire and why? This one made me think.  I also wanted to keep it quite generic as I value people's privacy. I'd say...

It's 10:40pm and I'm in bed. Unheard off. I'm usually a midnight bedder. But tonight I'm tired.

Goodnight.

Play nice.

Black Rubber is the new Gold I don't begin to know much about cars, nor do I really care.  They get me from A to B, and keep my hair dry.  That's it.  If you ask me what car I drive...

Perhaps I should buy an umbrella?

Burial operation for pod of 77 whales in Sanday under way The Orkney incident is thought to have been the largest mass stranding for decades.

77 #whales, which beached on a Scottish Island, are now being buried across the island.

Such a tragic loss to the ocean.

I wonder why they were not cremated? In 250 years someone will accidentally dig up a skeleton and wonder why whales are inland. Very confusing

Help!

Can someone please go through the thousands of digital photos I have, spanning over 15 years, and categorise them into albums!

The simplest things in life are often the best.

Fresh sheets on the bed tonight. Bliss. There's nothing nicer than slipping into a fresh bed. 🛏 😁

The smell makes me feel quite queezy. I can't even kiss my other half if they've had coffee in the last hour or so.
