Paula

Well will you look at that - last posted exactly six months ago. Anyway, this is just the occasional post to keep the account alive - here’s Matilda helping me wind some yarn.

@sianrosserevans I know you will, and I’ll be thinking of you! Please give Damocles a hug from this woman on the internet he has never met but who is rooting for him! ❤️

@MsPMeyer Diolch Paula ❤️ Reading the literature, it seems that chemo could allow some remission, but it just depends what stage it is & how aggressive. I fear it’s a case of “how long”. But we’ll do everything in our power for him, including calling time at the right time. ❤️ xxxxx

My beautiful, loving, adorable kitty Damocles has been diagnosed with lymphoma. I'm so broken. It's come out of nowhere. He's only 7. He's just the absolutest loveliest boy. Grateful we have pet insurance, so he can see an oncologist in Bristol. Now we wait.

Dimly remember reading something about having to post here occasionally to keep the account active - that may or may not be right but here is a nice picture of Henry.

@amolrajan I just wanted to say thank you for a brilliant season. You’ve created a warm, friendly atmosphere while retaining the rigour needed for this type of quiz, and you’ve allowed all the brilliant young people to shine. And I love how much you clearly enjoy it!

Well, what a ridiculous standard they set tonight. Utterly brilliant, charming, inspirational young people, and an outstanding run from @ucl. As for @imperialcollege? They're record breakers now. Thank YOU so much for watching this, my first season hosting ##UniversityChallenge

Honestly that made me so angry I forgot I don’t really post here anymore…

Well I’m over 50 and he can fuck right off. And take that patronising ‘Saga-generation’ bollocks with him.

@Cat_Stover And to you!

@MsPMeyer Happy new year, Paula!

Popping in to say the very happiest of new years to the increasingly tiny number of people who might see this! In case it’s of interest I’m starting a ‘photo a day’ thing on Instagram, so if you’d like to keep up with the cats (plus other stuff, honest!) I’m mspaulameyer there!

Popped in to see how everything was on here and got an advert for a knuckleduster. An actual knuckleduster. So who needs Disney, obviously.😳

@MooseAllain Thank you so much for doing this! It’s joined the Christmas traditions in our house and I still really enjoy getting my colouring pencils out even though my daughter’s grown up!

So there it is. Print it, share it, print them off for your friends, family, your school. Print one for a friend who doesn’t have a printer. Get one blown up to A1 at a copy shop (as some people have done). Or colour it digitally. Or none of the above. Just enjoy it.

It's Advent time! This year’s free-to-download colouring-in Advent Calendar is a little bit different. It’s an A-Z of animals - so, 26 days in all. Something to keep you busy on Boxing Day too. worldofmoose.com/pages/2023-alp…

@RosannaCrama Thank you! We are - it’s lovely for her because she did work really hard!

@MsPMeyer Congratulations!! 🎉💐 You must be very proud!

The daughter just finally got her degree result and she got a First! So there’s now someone in the family with a Double First from Cambridge, and that’s *weird*… Flashback to the summer, when she sort-of graduated but without a result because of the marking boycott!

They may not be the currency they once were, but I have three codes for 🔵sky if any mutuals would like one.

A rare visit here to say please, if you are a National Trust member, vote in the AGM. We have to keep Restore Trust and their nasty (Farage-endorsed) agenda out - it’s really quick and easy to do!👇🏻

Hello! I have two free copies of the UK hardback of #SearchingforJuliet to give away! Like this post and I'll pick two accounts at random tomorrow. RTs much appreciated to give as many people a chance as possible! You don't need to be in the UK to join in.

Just popping back briefly to share a proud mum moment - the daughter matriculated in the rain today before starting her MPhil in Early Modern History @Catz_Cambridge. Think my rainbow brolly adds a cheerful touch!

@NickMotown Oh, I’m so sorry. The best of good boys.

Takoda (04.01.2010 - 20.09.2023) My heart is shattered. He will always be the best boy 💚

As I pack my belongings and sweep the dust bunnies out of the corners, I would be delighted to see any of you over at that blue place with the sky, where I am @mspmeyer.bsky.social

Henry asks if I could look him in the eye if I gave that ridiculous Emerald Baby my credit card details. I could not, so I am beginning to pack up my little corner here…

@Jaynee_R Good idea! It would be so nice to have a proper front runner in the alternatives - at present I’m scattered about and more often than not post nothing at all. It makes it harder to break the habit of coming here!
