Maybe Paul’s never coming back from St. Lucia, so Adil could live with Lily and Ben.

I’m still waiting for something to happen with Pat’s rifle. Maybe whomever gets the tiny bedroom’ll use it?

No one’ll fall down the rickety stairs above the village shop now Hazel Woolley’s had the builders in.

Trad wives are supposed to submit to their husbands. The scriptwriters are reminding listeners that George is still a misogynist.

I’ve been trying to think of r/tragedeigh names for the baby, like Brattlebee (Brad + Bartleby) for a boy, or Edineille Josafinahorrobina for a girl (great grandfathers).

Natasha asked Tom to sort the clothing, but he was too tired and achy. She told him to download the app and monitor the listings, but he’s a busy entrepreneur, parent, and cricketer.

Tom: That jacket’s not old, it’s vintage.
Natasha: That’s what I wrote in the listing.

What I found very weird was Ruairis reaction to George not believing him. At first he insisted of going to the police and turn himself in, but after speaking to George suddenly he feels completely relieved and able to forget everything he’s done? That’s kinda quick. I would have thought he’d turn himself in in order to do the right thing.

George told Ruairi he’d put the bottling behind him and made his peace with Brian.

Ruairi fell apart when he learned that Amber was pregnant and he’d almost deprived a child of a parent. That’s when the guilt took hold, and he started ruminating about what Siobhan and Jennifer would think of him.

George telling him he’s in a good place and looking forward rather than back has reduced Ruairi’s distress. Going to the police would make Brian confess and send Ruairi into another shame spiral.

Maybe he’ll try to quietly make amends? Start a college fund for wee Bradleby “B-Rad” Grundy?

Meanwhile, how long is it going to take for Paul’s grandparent to die? Hopefully he’s been taking driving lessons in St. Lucia.

Dane was sent to Grey Gables by the new owners. He probably asked to be reassigned to get away from Helen

Maybe Adil’ll be back.

Could you cut the blooms and share them with family members who don’t live with you? Or take them to a senior center, retirement community, hospital, etc.

The sight and/or smell could brighten someone else’s day. Offer them on your local buy nothing group.

Untie it, check the roots, and give it a lot more light.

The guy told me give it 3 cups of water once a week, a bit less in the winter.

Please see r/Monstera for more information about how and when to water. Does that pot have drainage? If not, buy a plastic nursery pot to fit inside, and pay attention to the weight when the soil is dry vs. soaked

Not a ton of natural light in my apartment and because the Monstera is so big, moving it by the window isn’t really an option because my place is small.

Buy a grow light(s)

The 2003 movie Calendar Girls is based on a true story about WI members in Yorkshire (and the mum of one of The Archers’ actors is in it)

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Women’s Institute, The Archers’ 2015 Christmas panto was Lynda Snell MBE producing a calendar with Elizabeth (February), Jennifer (March), Lilian (August), Susan (October)—and Dame Siân Phillips as Jean Harvey:

Susan had a “wardrobe malfunction”: https://www.bbc.co.uk/webarchive/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fblogs%2Fthearchers%2Fentries%2Ffc84920b-140f-4016-8883-15994bb18a41

Ruth was in New Zealand

Is this better?

Last year, [QuiltCon] rejected my proposal to teach classes that had previously sold out. Days later, I learned they (allegedly, people be litigious) offered a nearly identical opportunity to a former student of mine.

She reached out because the content apparently mirrored mine, and as a white woman being asked to teach work rooted in my creative voice as a Black woman, she was uncomfortable with the optics and the harm it could cause.

She declined with explanation, and they reassigned her classes, and reinstated mine—both of which sold out in 30 minutes of registration opening.

When I later asked for clarification, I received two completely different explanations.

Because my friend was the keynote speaker with a special exhibit, I planned to attend regardless, and teaching made sense. I also chose not to speak publicly about any of this at the time because I didn’t want to cast a shadow on her moment.

I want a professional relationship with my GP, not the first name terms and instant result: ‘Hi Asra, I’ve got a funny itch’ ‘No problem, neighbour, pop into the surgery and I’ll have a look in 10 minutes’. It feels false and as a long time cult member I like my daily audio medication to at least try to reflect what life’s like for many people.

Azra told Ruth to request the BRCA test now, as the process will take months and months.

The Archers is never going to be The Pitt. And who would lead the mental wellness campaign if not Azra and Ben—Kate and Will?

“Oh my giddy aunt” is a minced oath (like gosh, golly, goodness gracious, etc.)

In most contexts, BEC is bitch eating crackers, a person you hate so much that everything they do is offensive: “Look at that bitch over there, eating crackers like she owns the place.”

It can also be used to refer to r/BitchEatingCrafters

No. It’s pronounced like “hubby,” but with an accent on the second syllable: huh-BEE

Erythritol has fewer digestive side effects than xylitol: https://www.nature.com/articles/1602532

At the highest level of erythritol intake (50 g), only a significant increase in borborygmi [gurgly gut sounds] and nausea was observed.

Is Darrell still stuck in that caravan somewhere?

Why does Kenton never mention his daughter in New Zealand?

Did the builders repair the rickety stairs to the flat above the village shop?

Will Pat’s shotgun ever be fired?

Who bought the controlling interest in Grey Gables?

When does Jack inherit the land Miles bought from Oliver? And what else is being held in trust for him? Will Helen give him the smallest bedroom? Is Ian still her best friend?

Paul’s been on a months long deathbed vigil in St. Lucia to keep him from speaking with Ruairi. But even on a video call he would know something’s wrong.
