Quick revelation: celebrate the humans that effortlessly inspire you and quietly challenge you to be better; get rid of the loud ones that try to remind you that they’re the best.

[Katie Amey @Kate_Amey176]

And we are very happy with a family @TheVirtualPubQ1 best of 40 points #jaysvirtualpubquiz. (there is definitely some internal debate as to whether we actually got 41..) 😂

Words of the day:
nuddle (1800s): to walk head down, lost in daydreams.
nod-crafty (1600s): given to nodding with an air of great wisdom as someone speaks, when you actually tuned out a while ago.

Word of the day: MUMPSIMUS – someone who obstinately sticks to their old ideas in spite of evidence that they are wrong.

So here in the UK we have freezing temperatures, snow and icy winds preventing people from getting to school and work, all the while my little sister is sending my family pictures from Laos of her sunburned feet... #snowday #sunburn

#100years ago in the UK, certain women became eligible to vote, & women were given the right to stand for Parliament. Amidst the celebrations, let's not forget those women that were excluded from voting for another ten years, & the women still denied a political voice even today.
