Everyone who knows @dannnniiii.bsky.social agrees she’s a gem. But I wanna shout it a little louder cos even tho I don’t talk about OL much, she still listens to my bumbling voice notes, sends VNs back & surprises me with the sweetest birthday surprises. Thank you so much Dani friend. Love you 💗

Ok 50 ain’t so bad. Despite the raging perimenopause and the dodgy knees I feel privileged to have made it this far 💜

Just remembered my biggest fandom achievement - Caitríona replying to my tweet with this amazing selfie.
I hope the #Outlander finale does the show justice & everyone going to Paley has an amazing time 🥰
And despite fandom turning sour for me, I’m grateful for the friends who kept in touch 🫶🏽

I know how much Caitríona loves Nepal 🇳🇵but it genuinely blows me away to hear her bigging up my Motherland and helping to promote the arts in Kathmandu. Oh and she even speaks a little bit of Nepali at the end 🥹 Oh my heart 💗

I keep seeing #Outlander posts and they’re only convincing me NOT to catch up on the second half of S7 and S8 tbh.
Fergus? Really? 😭
I’ve realised I am an HEA person. Peril and strife and looming danger be damned.

The youngest in our group was 12 and the eldest 76 and we all LOVED it. We laughed and held our breaths and cried.

Update - I’m on threads as paranoidpromqueen (the name of my blog way back in the day). I don’t really know where to start over there so do follow if you fancy 🫶🏽
So I’ve been lurking on threads and I think it might be the place for the random chats and japes that I miss from the golden days of Tw****r.
I just need to find a way to separate it from my IG account 🤔

The thing I miss about the bird place is the chats that random posts would create. It felt like having a cuppa and a chat with moots.
I’d hoped that sort of engagement would develop here but it feels like you post and then tumbleweed.
Is threads any good for that kind of chatting with people?

Yes the obsession continues. I’ve lost count of the #Reheats and probably know the script by heart.
And I took a break from the world in chaos and my current book to read #HeatedRivalry and it was gorgeous. Man I love #IlyaAndShane, so much!

I know some people really dislike voicenotes but as someone who can be very socially awkward & often needs time to prepare a response, they're the perfect way for me to stay in touch with loved ones.
I need to work on reducing the gibbering and the duration but rambling VMs are my love language 💜

Dear Lord, save me.
I have fallen hard.
I have fallen hook, line and sinker for these two hockey playing, beautiful, gay boys.
Watched season 1 in a day (thanks #SkyTV) and I want MORE. A rewatch is imminent.

Meant to be going to London tonight to see Lauren Lyle and Alexander Arnold in #MostFavoured but Storm Goretti is trying to scupper my plans. I could risk it - I'll probably get to London but I might not be able to get home.
Gah. What to do.

We dashed over to see ‘The Beam’ tonight, a vertical pillar of light (as high as 8km) to mark the 80th anniversary of Harwell Science and Innovation Campus.
We felt like we were in Tron or Star Wars. It was a lovely little adventure to start the year 💜

2025 was a hellish year, it honestly felt like it might not end. I know it’s felt that way for a lot of people, but here we are, a new year.
I don’t do resolutions instead I hope that 2026 is kind to you friends. Look for those glimmers, look for the light, tell your people that you love them 💫💜
