I'm from working class London roots & was born in a naval hospital in Gosport. My toddler years were spent in Singapore. Early childhood in Essex. Migrated to Australia (with parents & brothers) at 7. Victoria then NSW then Victoria. Too many homes to mention. Moved back to UK at 27. Essex, then Cambridge & now South London.
Married with adopted daughter. Our dog died in 2020 & I'm not over it.
Parent Carer.

#FrankAndBert are back! I loved their first hide & seek adventure where they both taught us a lesson about friendship. This time, Bert is learning how to ride a bike & Frank has his back! 🐻 🦊 🚲 #ChrisNaylorBallesteros @[email protected]

I just started up a small monthly Patreon payment to support my instance mastodon.social
I'm very impressed by the way it's all kept going during the huge Twitter migrations. A few blips and error codes but nothing major.
Also grateful for the friendly inclusive atmosphere here.

So, I have had advice from @charlesroper (thanks buddy), but I'm curious if having my own server would benefit me say if I used masto hosts lowest price per month... I'd lock it down to just me as admin with 5 main accounts max, just wondering if I'd be charged for follows kinda like website traffic and of course how much media I post, I could always make my content have a set time before it wipes itself bit was curious if others who have their own instance have any advice on this at all?
I’ve been saving this one. Merry Christmas, everybody! #OperationNativity by @[email protected] @[email protected] πŸŽ„
