Excellent!

Parmesan shortbreads are the perfect accompaniment to any festive fizz you may be uncorking to celebrate the New Year. They’re #RecipeOfTheDay now in case you want a get a head start on them, but they’re neither difficult nor time-consuming to make. www.nigella.com/recipes/parm...

I advise you never to make these. Or at the very least go into making them with your eyes wide open. Because they are basically the biscuit equivalent of crack.

Cat eye funk cleaning Hell yeah

I have exceeded my social contact quota. Exhausted

One of the greatest Christmas traditions, thanks to lovely @rhodri.biz - here's the link to contribute if you can ❤️

Live review: @mikiberenyi.bsky.social // Sneaky Pete's, Edinburgh // 19.12.25 The Miki Berenyi Trio illuminate Edinburgh’s Sneaky Pete’s as buoyant industrial grooves weave through a lustrous, melancholic haze.... read more re-sound.co.uk/miki-berenyi...

A stressful day. Never good when you have to contact the biggie bosses pre Xmas Eve to announce your fuck up

Solstice wishes to all x A bit late but our fire burned in the gloom as the sun set on the shortest day. May the light find you as it returns. Love to all x

Bought a new throw for the couch. Making my eyes quiver. Gone

@hookland.bsky.social Hello my friend. Prepping for solstice here. Solidarity for the year ahead. The light is slowly returning as we tilt . Love and light to all in Hookland from here in Edinburgh x

Came across Clarissa Dickson-Wright’s autobiography in a charity shop. It is everything a devotee of weird history could hope for

Miki Berenyi Trio at Sneaky Petes tonight with @ag1970.bsky.social Excellent gig and a new cd for Xmas :)

I have tracked down the 5 spice smell. Hob now clean I

Just cleaned the sides of the appliances in my kitchen. Mucky moments.

Cat threw up on my bed

Just word salad to fit a narrative. Tedious. I

Keep looking at the living room and wondering if I can turn it around for Sunday Solstice meal...while working all week...

The @stephenking.bsky.social story 'The Body' (Stand By Me) and 'Misery' were masterfully translated into movies by Rob Reiner. As a fan of SK, I always struggle with movie adaptations and these remain my favourites. I could bang on but the bridge scene in Stand by Me totally reflected the writing.

Tired. Still have a day of work left. Fuuk

@gailmyerscough.co.uk That's a wee order placed from me tonight. My buy cool stuff for people I love moment! I will probably steal a notebook for me, sucker for a notebook...

It was a huge win for a courageous woman: Dr Upton.

I don't really post anymore, but I would like to carry on writing books at some point in the future. Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.

I appear to have killed the family whatsapp by sharing a breakdown of the Peggie judgement

Ah, the joy of cutting out poo clumps from the arse area of your senior lomg haired cat.

If you’re tired of explaining yourself and the misreporting of the Peggie tribunal to your lazy and ignorant friends save your energy and send them this. open.substack.com/pub/ajustsoc...

So plans changing but very glad the parental lunch is off. Just really glad

Its important that idiots like Maya Forstater arent experts and their testimonies shouldn't be accepted or taken seriously, like, its another blow to the reputation they've bullshitted their way into

Today has been processing the Peggie trubunal and feeling hopeful. While transphobes and all phobes are entitled to their views, harrasment of others in the workplace is not ok.

Dear media: stop running Sex Matters press releases as though they were neutral findings of fact

Also - join @nionwomen.bsky.social campaign. :)

Turns out this "echo chamber" is the only place with factual information about court cases?

NHS Tayside Scotland's Counter Fraud Services warns of scam phone calls claiming to be from GP practices. Callers are informing people they are updating patient records and asking them to follow a link Be alert. Hang up immediately, Report scams to Police Scotland by calling 101. Spread the word!

And again salad, airfried sweet potato and halloumi, topped with steak remains my best dinner ever :)

Family guest arrived very early. Still hoovering. Thank fuck did the bed and toilet earlier..

Daughter has made it through trials and will be signed :)

It’s a happy snowman wishing you the politest of seasons greetings

My bathroom was disgusting. Happy Sunday

Whelp, shitty behaviour from me. Apologies young teenager and the cats. Grumpy. I blame the wind

Communal tree very creaky. If it falls should miss my house Neighbours are fucked tho

Shattered. One office emptied, unpacking Saturday at new office. Only highlight will be overtime in December pay!

Office move while dealing with Office Wanker. Very tired

Late work night. Stew, yorkies and rest of Back to the Future. Not a bad Monday :)

I am wearing knee high fleecy socks under my fleecy pajamas. And a hot water bottle on my feet. It's chilly

Listening to 'I want to be adored' while neighbours have a fire. RIP Mani, go well x

Had a horrible experience last night. Waiting for food, a little bit drunk and a group of young men start talking to me. All fine. A conversation takes place about chicken in KFC and then I turn around and am being filmed by random men, while I talk about my order. 5 phones on me.

🏳️‍⚧️ Last night, as vigils marking Trans Day Of Remembrance were held across Scotland, The Herald gave an award to For Women Scotland naming them Campaigners of the Year. These awards were sponsored by ScottishPower, a company who regularly champions diversity.

Having our Work Xmas night out tomorrow.. in November. A week before payday. Who are these people
