Music is everything. especially #Radiohead #neilyoung #jonimitchell #parquetcourts

Meanwhile if you are Welsh, now is the time of year where a skeleton horse might show up at your door and challenge you to a rap battle.

If you lose the horse comes into your house and drinks your booze.

Merry Christmas from Mari Lwyd!

one of my favorite things on social media is when people nerd the heck out about hobbies I don't know anything about.

I have a friend on instagram who's super into Breyer horses and like, I know fuck-all about either real horses or plastic ones but she does these explainers about the hobby that are always a delight to read

Post about your hobbies. It's okay to take up space. Delight somebody with details.

Finished work for the Holidays today and celebrated with a ton of Aldi party food, Ponsettia cocktails and A Muppet Christmas Carol. Think we might of reached peak Christmas already #muppetchristmascarol

Have been a bit AWOL on here as had hideous eye infection last few weeks. 3 lots of antibiotics and two trips to Eye Hospital later and it’s finally gone hurrah! To celebrate made our annual Nigella recipe, chocolate Christmas cake. Children decorated with all the bling they could find. #nigella #nigellalawson #ChristmasCake
Made the most delicious toasted Panettone mincemeat Sandwich from a brilliantly simple recipe from Nigel Slater’s Christmas Chronicles. I cannot recommend this recipe and book enough for this time of year. It’s the bomb 💣 #nigelsalter #christmaschronicles #panettone
I spy mince pies. Christmas baking gearing up in our house. Made by teenage daughter (well I made the pastry and the mincemeat and the frangipane but she was in charge of assembly.)#MincePies
Bring out the Christmas sprinkles! baking shortbread with my nine year old and listening to Kate Rusby’s Christmas album.
