Burst into tears at my mum's care home. Both parents had not great days and it all got too much #Dementia25 Oct 2026 17:04 +0000at://did:plc:mgsof5xazafxsevprrjdgqor/app.bsky.feed.post/3mypoujrzns2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/soniaz.bsky.social/post/3myl6mkkzl22xSo now that we have a smaller household, should we get an air-fryer? I do bake quite a lot, especially with pastry of different varieties. Is it really worth it when we bake so much from scratch? Anyone got advice?23 Oct 2026 22:03 +0000at://did:plc:mgsof5xazafxsevprrjdgqor/app.bsky.feed.post/3myl6mkkzl22xhttps://bsky.app/profile/soniaz.bsky.social/post/3myfb2b33j22uThinking of studying #archaeology?
