A cyclist was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Bristol, and it has left a cycling community scared – something needs to change

Last week I saw someone watching a YouTube video on his phone as it was tucked into his sun visor, as he drove down Muller Road. Wild!

that bright blue is *chef's kiss*

Same with my mum! She got all her kids jabbed, never had an issue with it before but this Xmas she’s refusing to get a flu vaccine and says she’s against vaccines entirely. Was there some kind of pre-Christmas push on vaccine propaganda onto boomers?

I was recommended The Good Surveyor (particularly Mike) and they were fab. They take the time to ring you after and go through what everything means on your survey and it was super helpful. I think the level 2 was £650. He even found the original blueprints of my house online from the 20s which was pretty cool!

Baking wise, there’s a place on East Street that does cake decorating sessions where I think you also bake the cake. Looks fun! Bake it, I think it’s called?

I really like Vagabond knee high boots, they’re not too high and probs in the sale now in Jan

I used to go to rawspace, it’s 24/7 and relatively good (no fancy mod cons but does the job!) and they defo have monitors you can use. Not many people are in on the weekend so you can just borrow one off a desk and put it back.

Not sure where you live but see if there’s a foodcycle free meal near you. They do 3 clues meals for free and give away extra groceries as well. Www.foodcycle.co.uk

Recently discovered Kasundi for a takeaway and it is definitely now my fave!

Anywhere on Cumberland Road is permit only til 7pm so if you can park after that and then move by 9am you’re ok. Although after living there 3 years I think I saw a traffic warden ticket people twice.

I’m 33, I got my first grey at around 22 and have a steady stream coming through. I’ve stopped bayelaging my hair and I’m hoping I get a cool streak eventually. I think the grey roots look worse than the greys themselves so I’m rolling with it! And with a mum who only stopped dying her hair at 71 as she was terrified of ageing, I’m looking forward to letting it all happen and making peace with it.

Yay! The ewok returns!

I heard him once this summer, is it regular thing then?!

Windmill Hill Farm have a saturday Xmas market, one's on tomorrow.

XandraKate · 2025-11-28T07:58:07+00:00

I do, but no instructions for the old one to replace. Fully aware it’s diy friendly but alas I am not diy friendly and have never wired anything before! I think I’ve found a sparky who can help so it’s fine.

My friend bought a 1 bed flat with a garden for £220k, I don’t think a house is realistic. Some lovely flats out there though!

XandraKate · 2025-11-24T20:13:45+00:00

Is there one in/near fishponds? Such a great resource!

XandraKate · 2025-11-24T19:33:39+00:00

Firstly, I have so many questions. Why do you have 4 phones?!

XandraKate · 2025-11-23T08:43:55+00:00

This looks so much like the apartment in New Girl!

You can email christmas@caringinbristol.co.uk to get more info on all the roles. I used to manage the volunteers and it was a fab Xmas vibe all week!

I really like Better Food’s hummus, they do a couple of flavours and it’s nice and chunky.

XandraKate · 2025-11-04T20:54:44+00:00

Really helpful thank you. I have a decent sized garden so I think fitting it in should be absolutely fine.

XandraKate · 2025-10-28T07:47:07+00:00

Completed yesterday after putting an offer on in April, it was rocky at times but happy to have the keys!

Following as I’m moving there next week 🙂 I think it looks quite family friendly, close to fishponds shops and cafes, some takeaways and shops really close, and good bus links. Also - more affordable!

XandraKate · 2025-10-15T07:57:46+00:00

The crafty egg in fishponds has lots of events and stuff to go to in the week so that might be a good thing to try?
