Short nails definitely, I work with my hands, do art and DIY a lot... there's nothing worse than the feeling of a slightly too long nail catching and bending back 🤢

I like painting them from time to time, but painted nails do look better on longer nails (also the nail varnish lasts about 5 seconds before chipping or flaking off)

I can remember only having 3 TV channels, and they closed down sometime around midnight until the morning. You got the fuzzy black and white bits of CBR on the screen when they turned the signal off

When videos came out, only my richer friends had them and they were few and far between, we used to have an after school video club where we'd pay 10p to watch a film in the AV room (sat on a carpet of old piss stains)

The internet didn't exist, and I saw my first computer while at secondary school in the late 80's (I'm thinking BBC commodore or something, I can't really remember)

I feel so fucking old right now lol

Burgundy hair sounds good, definitely worth a post!

I keep wanting to dye my hair something more interesting than mousey brown, but I can't be arsed with the faff of root touch ups at the moment.... last time I dyed it something fun I went for blue, and it came out a blue/black but like really black so it looked like I had Roy Orbison/Clarke Kent hair

I still keep eyeing up the red hair colour on the shelf though

For any ladies who are peri/post menopause or older and think it's too late to start, here's an article about some oldsters who began strength training in their 90's!

They were able to prove that you can "..build muscle, strength and functional abilities as an older person..."

"Dorothy Tishler was 92. In her first session she lifted 17lbs with each leg. Eight weeks later, her strength had more than tripled. She lifted 60lbs with each leg. “I love it,” she told the reporter from the Jewish Advocate who visited the gym. “I have become younger. When I came here five years ago, I could hardly walk. Now I walk better than my daughter, who’s only 72.”

Resistance/strength training 💪

Shiro Kasamatsu (1898 - 1991) Japanese Woodblock Print Bird Cage, 1957

All images and text from here

Above, detail

Shiro Kasamatsu - Born in Tokyo, Shiro began studying art at a young age with the painter Kaburagi Kiyokata. He completed his first woodblock designs for Watanabe Shozaburo in 1919 after the publisher saw his paintings on exhibit. Shiro designed shin-hanga prints for Watanabe for many years, becoming well known for his romantic landscapes of famous landmarks and his scenes of traditional Japanese life. From 1952 to 1960, he created more than one hundred woodblock designs for the Kyoto publisher Unsodo. He also experimented with sosaku hanga or creative prints starting in the late 1950s, carving and printing his own designs. Shiro is regarded as one of the top shin-hanga woodblock print artists in Japan.

The bf has had a load of tests over the past fortnight as he has a mass on his lung, we get the results on the 27th

I don't like Christmas anyway, and the fact that 5 years ago we were waiting again, over Christmas for my brothers cancer diagnosis, which turned out to be terminal...so it's already a shitty time of year.

If I didn't have my parents, me and the bloke would just stay at home, have poached eggs on toast and not bother with any of it.....

I was wondering if she used thin plastic as separators to keep the different molds apart, but I like your interpretation better
