Apropos to absolutely no recent comments around ballet and opera, I'm just going to leave this here:

This has me absolutely baffled. It takes most of my strength to just lift one on its side to clean!
Admittedly, I'm a weakling, but still!
When did my sport get so dramatic?!
I demand a heist movie. I'll do the promo nail art.
There were more viewers of the curling last night than Britainβs Got Talent.
My nerves are completely shot.
God, do I love curling.
If you're loving it as well, please do sign up to give it a try!!!
If you're in Wales/England, your options are Preston, Tunbridge Wells or Cambridge.
Happy to answer any questions π π₯
I often get that feeling, even when I'm playing π€£
A photo of a hand with nails painted. On the thumbnail is a Union Jack. On the index fingernail are the Olympic rings. On the middle fingernail is a curling stone. On the ring fingernail is Tina, the stout Olympic mascot. On the little fingernail is an Italian flag with a 26.
If I had the habit of biting my nails, this design would be gone by now with the tension of this curling match...

I was born in Warrington, but was that the same Warrington that I passed through this morning on the train?
Or is it the third Warrington that's actually the real one? π€
I feel this deeply. Need someone to do the making and then I'll paint π€£
A photo of a hand with nails painted. On the thumbnail is a grey background with The Great Pottery Throw Down written in white and orange. On the index fingernail is a blue background with a brown brick bottle kiln. On the middle fingernail is a white background with a black feather and black cracking lines. On the ring fingernail is a white background with blue floral and geometric patterns. On the little fingernail is a grey background with black curving coil lines.
Tonight marks the return of The Great Pottery Throw Down on Channel 4.
Whilst my long nails probably mean I should steer clear of shaping clay, I had to have a go at recreating the look of porcelain and raku!

A photo of a hand with nails painted. On the thumbnail is a dark blue background with layers of increasingly lighter blue, overlapping tear drop shapes, with a white flower on top. On the other nails is a teal strip running along the bottom of the nail, with a navy one above, and then a large block of yellow. Each colour is separated by white lines.
Inspired by the recently revealed Roman fresco that was reconstructed by the Museum of London Archaeology.
(Admittedly, I don't think the real thing looks quite this bright)

And way back in 2017 (?), @gregjenner.bsky.social appeared on the Art Detective podcast, hosted by @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social, to discuss the Bayeux Tapestry.
Surprise surprise, I was inspired.
Maybe a new nail design is in order if I make the trip to the British Museum...
I bloody love Hannah Waddingham
