Do the kids know the plan?<br/><br/>Is the battery working in your smoke alarm? Is there even a battery in your smoke alarm, or did the beeping annoy you?<br/><br/>What will you do if your stairs are alight?<br/>If the grandkids are staying over, do they know the plan? Which adult is getting which child?<br/><br/>Where do you keep your house keys at night? Could you find them if there was smoke and fire? <br/><br/>Do you shut the kitchen door when you go to bed? That was what the fire brigade said would have made most difference for my family. <br/><br/>Do you turn electrical appliances off at the wall, especially the ones you bought from somewhere online?<br/><br/>Have you walked through your escape plan? You need muscle memory to kick in when the panic of an emergency situation hits. <br/><br/>Please, if you could think about these things and make changes if you need to it would mean that something good has come from our tragedy. I never want anyone else to have to go through this. <br/><br/>#Fire #FireSafety #Emergency 2026-03-30T15:29:52Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsv6n4cpc0upjmpe0eqa8w9lax0kvs69uwm9mdn039pur3akf3ez5gzyqvq9fdynl9zs9pf4434zckgeq6nelf3c99u5x6qfnf4w8f8u78s72ephc8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9dt2uekvuf8p668mucg8cty7vs2t2lwzdzz4x3fvrce50845902cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qkf05p3'>nevent1q…05p3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpq2s664gw8hufpkexvm9fq069482wkr2rv6fkm6lr4pwjrexsx38eqqdprl4" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpq2s664gw8hufpkexvm9fq069482wkr2rv6fkm6lr4pwjrexsx38eqqdprl4</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…prl4</span>)</a></span> <br/><br/>I only just saw this one.<br/><br/>My little brother, he was such a man. 💜<br/><br/>Thank you 2026-03-30T07:02:51Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswn07faxdf489rewwlpwsee9nqg5zfleyphhlej39wgna6xal02sszyqvq9fdynl9zs9pf4434zckgeq6nelf3c99u5x6qfnf4w8f8u78s7jepxan Good Evening<br/><br/>Today has been full of good things:<br/><br/>I saw Yougest and met his new girlfriend (who is absolutely lovely).<br/>The sun was shining.<br/>I went for a walk.<br/>I did some study.<br/>Snuggles with Tiny Dog<br/>Messing about online with friends.<br/><br/>So many good things.<br/><br/>#GoodThings #3GoodThings 2026-03-07T22:05:21Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszjmwy582mhjpzcsehauun4qtway9suq48upvpcnn4s4e972ugdvszyqvq9fdynl9zs9pf4434zckgeq6nelf3c99u5x6qfnf4w8f8u78s7l50sr3 I love all the languages I see on fedi.<br/><br/>My German is starting to come back a little because I trip over German language posts and try to understand them before hitting translate. <br/><br/>It is one of the best things about fedi that hardly ever seems to get mentioned - the fact we get to rub shoulders with people from wildly different places and see new viewpoints 2026-03-07T20:21:47Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdqalxf3mhvk2q29eqfqlkl4q9ps7ns52dk6jaezed6g7hxknterczyqvq9fdynl9zs9pf4434zckgeq6nelf3c99u5x6qfnf4w8f8u78s7vce4he Evening,<br/><br/>Today I am grateful:<br/>- that my Eldest got home without mishap<br/>- that I managed to do a small amount of study<br/>- that I had the time and space to nap safely<br/>- that the sun shone brightly through my window <br/>- that there are daffodils growing in my garden <br/><br/>These small things are worth concentrating on, because these are the things I can do something with, and enjoy. <br/>I cannot do anything about the global situation and so I choose to look just into my bubble and do what I can to make my little sphere a better space for me and those around me.<br/><br/>#GoodThings #Gratitude #3GoodThings 2026-03-04T19:01:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswlg3mulz6v8e3h0w9ag0e04nggceant2y9dr4vdzlxgm84lj40hqzyqvq9fdynl9zs9pf4434zckgeq6nelf3c99u5x6qfnf4w8f8u78s722akle In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfg9d8ckqywtl2uakk5vwrzzkcjt8pc8nl4n675t22e542ha4j42gpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qn6xrj4'>nevent1q…xrj4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpq2s664gw8hufpkexvm9fq069482wkr2rv6fkm6lr4pwjrexsx38eqqdprl4" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpq2s664gw8hufpkexvm9fq069482wkr2rv6fkm6lr4pwjrexsx38eqqdprl4</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…prl4</span>)</a></span> <br/><br/>I couldn&#39;t have just scrolled by!
