@MsBethWatson Health and Safety!

It's Friday! Where's the best place to read a book? Are you lucky enough to have a book nook?

@LBFlyawayhome I was the beauty editor of Annabel years and years ago!

Ladybird book in the spotlight. The Story of Newspapers, 1969 Artist: Ron Embleton

@sj_suz Was waiting, hoping….😢😢

Still not here. Every morning I wake with hope in my heart & then every single day at 8pm a message advises parcel is late. This has been going on since Monday LAST WEEK. Ten days. TEN. DAYS. Seriously starting to suspect it's lost.

@lizfilleul @TheFriendMag @BecRobinWriter @ThompsonEirin @AudBrooksWriter @sj_suz @authorgabrielle That’s what I was going to say! Isn’t it gorgeous? 😍

@TheFriendMag @BecRobinWriter @ThompsonEirin @AudBrooksWriter @sj_suz @authorgabrielle Beautiful cover

Yes! Our first festive bumper issue is out tomorrow! We have stories by @BecRobinWriter Annie Harris, @ThompsonEirin @AudBrooksWriter Alison Carter, mary Barr, Christina Hollis, Moira Smyth, Jacqui Cooper, Han Halstead @sj_suz and @authorgabrielle

@traceyfs Fabulous! Have a wonderful time. 🥂

Quite the view! It's great to be back! #Toronto #SilverWedding

@traceyfs I’m in.

Honestly, see if I happened to be a wildly rich star, I wouldn't have "freak outs". I would invite my chums round for snack parties. You bring your jammies and we have cheeseboards and tubs of retro sweeties while watching old films. There would be no hanky-panky!

@traceyfs …and reruns of the very first series of The Repair Shop…

When I retire I'm going to stay up late and watch dramas that begin at 9 p.m.

@traceyfs ✅✅✅

(3/3 * Try to separate work and home as much as possible * Watch Bette Davis films * Carry wipes with you. They come in really handy ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I would normally say, never take advice from me, but here are some harmless nuggets. (1/3) * Own a pair of slippers and a cosy blanket * Buy an alarm clock and don't take your phone to bed with you * Find something you're interested in and read everything you can about it.

Non-fiction. You can only pick one. Which one?

@traceyfs …and a nerd…

Annual leave when you're in your fifties.

@traceyfs 😡

@MsBethWatson It's certainly not how it used to be. It feels very grubby now.

I've lost count of the number of accounts I've blocked on here. So many dodgy things.

@traceyfs 🤣🤣🤣

I bought some blur cream to try. It really isn't blurring nearly enough. I'm now simply hoping everyone's eyesight is as bad as mine.

@ged_fay @DavidBalmer14 That is stunning!

@traceyfs 🤣

Just seen a "laundry hack" over on Facebook. It involved using a product that's specifically for laundry. This is where we're at now. The world is full of arses.

So beautiful you can almost forgive the day’s rain…

@traceyfs The famous Hamish! And doesn’t he look like he knows you’re his to command!

Friday has rolled on around again! Time for fizz and non-fiction. @profmcscott And my wee pal has joined me! 😂 Whatever you're doing, may it make you smile! Chin, chin, Treacles!

It may be a monsoon outside but we can dream of sunshine holidays... Got my hands on this from ⁦@TheFriendMag⁩ today; includes my story inspired by an annual dilemma!

@traceyfs Make the most of it, chum. Weather being particularly Scottish today!

Heat, and not looking at the time, adds up to happiness. If you're lucky enough to live somewhere warm that doesn't have rain all the time... appreciate it. I'm getting too old for Scottish weather.
