Unquestionably thick and big. Taste exactly like Hula Hoops.

just picked these beasts up at Gloucester Services. Thick AND big. Will report back.

Gym packed with women of all ages and abilities this morning. All lifting, pushing, sweating, helping each other out and bigging each other up. Fills me with joy πͺπββοΈπ€ΈββοΈ

I have a plum tree that has gone mad this year. Currently 16 plum crumbles in my freezer. Might start mail order.

Have reached the age where I clean my house from top to bottom before going on holiday. Clean sheets, bathroom spotless, even shampooed the carpets. Future just-back-from-holiday Heidi better fucking appreciate it, frankly.

Can't say I'm not relieved about the Vienna announcement. I've landed at Innsbruck twice and can confirm it was neither fun nor entertaining.

I've never been to Vienna either! Also my husband has family there so he might tag along for a bit. Fun!

I grew up in a military family - my first school was a kindergarten in the Netherlands. Apparently I picked up Dutch in no time flat, then promptly parked it when we moved back to the UK a year later. It's easy when you're a kid!

Heidi Temple-Stephens (@heidistephens.bsky.social)
I am currently writing a Book and REALLY enjoying it but I also have a million other things to do which prevent me writing the Book. So instead my head is full of Book passages that I don't have time to write down, and each morning a few more have disappeared. Need more brain or more time.

I believe the dialogue is along the lines of: "But if we give back all the shit we stole from former colonies, won't the British Museum be empty?" (coughs) "Well, yes." "Ah. Hmm. Well, let's keep talking."
