Solstice hare doing its midsummer thing.

My favourite Frank O’Hara poem

Today we remember Big Lil. 💛 Lillian Bilocca led the Headscarf Revolutionaries to Westminster after Hull's 1968 triple trawler tragedy, forcing changes to maritime safety law. She died on this day in 1988. Her courage saved lives.

Up until the 1970s a clean front step was a source of pride. It reflected the respectability of the household, and many hours would be spent scrubbing stone doorsteps until they gleamed. A spotless step said more about a home than words ever could. This practice long seems to have disappeared. Good or bad ? #VictorianLife #Edwardian #BritishHistory #SocialHistory #Heritage #History #DidYouKnow

It's Sunday, it's August and I haven't shared my book for a while! Small Town Girl is about my experience of state-sponsored abuse at the hands of #spycops (and my recovery). It's brutal, honest, yet funny at times. Available from all good bookshops and your local library 💚🧡

@kitching_adele They're my size so I'll hopefully be grand then. Ta, Adele x

@MelAndStuff_ Worst bit for me is the linjection to numb my mouth, (need big girl pants), after that it's OK.

En route to my first root canal rodeo. I'm taking a big clue from the saying "It's about as much fun as root canal..." to mean it's not actually much fun at all.

@kitching_adele Drugs, you tell me.... I'm sure I've been through worse, still a big bairn though.

@MelAndStuff_ The drugs work, I've had 3 now, not nice but not as bad as I thought it would be. Good luck

@Llamagretch Aw ta, Vicky. I've forgotten my girl's Jellycat I bought her for such occasions which we now seem to share. I have no pride in the dentist's chair. Xx

@MelAndStuff_ 😬 hope it's not too awful, Mel xxx
