I just think it should be called Agnes and not Hamnet 🤷🏻♀️
In & out of the dentist in 6 minutes. At £27.80 my very rough maths makes it £280 an hour. This is not ragebait post (I’ve worked for the public sector @ run my own business so I know what things cost). Anyone more knowledgeable than me have any views on whether this does in fact sound a lot or not?
So @scaramucci.bsky.social, you’ve always insisted that Putin had something on Trump. Isn’t it actually the case that Trump just wanted to copy from the Putin playbook and invade a sovereign country?
Nothing says New Year’s Day like homemade granola. Happy New Year 🥳

A soft illustrated grid of nine small gift boxes, each with a different coloured ribbon. Around each box is a handwritten phrase: calm steady energy, freedom from expectation, soft slow paced days, ease on repeat, a quietness that settles, rest that truly restores, a gentle kind of merry, people that feel like home, peace that lingers. The title reads “All I want for Christmas is…” in simple lettering. The colours are muted pinks, greens and creams, giving a warm and soothing feel. Picture by Simply Anxious
“Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realise they were the big things.” Robert Brault
The smallest moments often mean the most.
The simple things really do matter.
