I forgot my brother coming home for Christmas meant he would be running dinner like the navy. He's made us jump on a call that started with 'I've indulged a lot of shit over the years'

Was feeling a bit blue about Christmas this year but now my brother in Hong Kong is flying over to spend it with us. Just grabbed a coffee in town while waiting for the bus, bumped into a colleague and had a chat and now I'm feeling -dare I say - kinda festive???

Unfortunately years of intense healing and therapy was all undone today. Husband ordered us breakfast burritos and when the woman said 'Enjoy your food!' I replied 'You too!'

Now the nights are getting darker I need Phoebe Bridgers to get her ass in the studio and record the most emotionally crippling album I've ever heard

Me when someone else has a mental health relapse: Aww babe healing isn't linear 🥰 you're doing great sweetie 😘 I love you ❤️ Me when I have a mental health relapse: You are a huge loser and you deserve jail.

This has absolutely killed me

DOLCE HERA IS BACK! THIS IS THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!

Another wanky indulgent post but this weekend I treated myself to a solo gig and the final song was one which essentially saved my life.

One thing I love about a solo gig is it doesn't matter what I do as long as I get somewhere I can see. Need a pee? A pint? No bother pal! Just don't stand behind a giant!

Forgot to get a lil plastic fork for my meal deal on the train so I ended up scooping up my pasta salad with a bag of crisps. We stan a resourceful queen...

Had what my instructor described as my best driving lesson yet so gonna be riding that high for the rest of the week

Just need to get through 5 days at work and then it's seeing friends, family and crying to Ethel Cain this weekend

Was dicking about trying to set up car play in my pap pap. Knew it was working when drone music started blaring out the speakers and my husband looked terrified

An absolutely brilliant video which dives into the history of Intervision and its current corruption. If you watch anything today, watch this: your timely reminder that it's not just a silly song contest to live tweet but something far more sinister. youtu.be/CO7KJC0bs9w?...

Theory? Passed it mate!

Indulge me being self-reflective and wanky for a bit but today I got home from work and had a little dance and sing around the kitchen while I made dinner. It struck me all of a sudden that I'm happy again after a real slump a few months ago. That's great but more importantly it's reminded me of

The best thing about packing way too many tattoo snacks is getting to eat said tattoo snacks later

Got a lil moth today!

Truly one of the best videos on the situation I have ever seen. While I have hope they will be removed, if not I believe the best solution is to let them win and let the contest burn. Maybe then the EBU will sit with the consequences of their inaction. youtu.be/THgn1w7Lzvo?...

Joke a kid at work told me today: "What do you call a magician who can't do magic? Ian!"

Been at my work long enough (6 years) that regular staff now greet me by hugging me which on the one hand is nice but on the other hand really throws into light what an awkward hugger I am unless we're very close.

Maybe the real emergency was the friends we made along the way...

Turns out I just needed to do my hair and makeup and gossip with my friend

Happy #Eurovision New Year! 🎉 Any song released from today onwards will be eligible for the 2026 contest❤️‍🔥 Everyone at Phoenix would like to thank you all for your support in the last 3 years, and we look forward to keeping you updated on all things #ESC2026! 🐦‍🔥

In honour of Eurovision going back to Vienna and being a pub widow I'm going to rewatch Eurovision 2015

Oh hey!

Got some pretty bad news today which I'm trying to cope with as best I can but I have also booked my theory test so there's that!

If defacing mini roundabouts with red paint is a response to 'reasonable concerns', then so is defacing planes with red paint. Can't pick just one.

Managed to reset back to my regular body clock within one day of being back home and am feeling insanely smug about it

The only choice really. Having to bus artists from the arena to the green room and vice versa, giving the right turn around of backstage timings, killed off any chances Innsbruck had.

Had a really gnarly flashback last night so the inner child needed serious healing today. Ended up swimming under the stars and playing baseball with a pool noodle.

Frankly shocked that a man whose book on the Holocaust was so poorly written and researched that the literal Auschwitz Memorial Museum begged people to stop reading it has such a flippant attitude towards oppressed minorities. Like knock me down with a feather!

Crying in public after saying goodbye to my brother is never fun but Hong Kong was an absolute blast. Next stop, Sydney!

Hong Kong skylines are 👌

Hong Kong hotel views

En route to Hong Kong, watching 'Conclave' and drinking a Stella. Life is sweet

How I imagine Kasabian were waiting to go onstage at this festival I'm at while England v Spain went to penalties

Tramlines Day 1!

Bring on a summer of dancing, travelling and adventuring because your girl is off work until September!

One way you can tell I've been going through it recently is I booked two tattoos for autumn within 3 days.

Bad week for the brain. Now with my mum and brain is calm again.

Today was horrendous and then to top it off Google sent me a photo montage of my dead cat with the caption 'Feline Good' If you didn't laugh you'd cry ig

I'm so burned out and fed up at the moment. I need a break yesterday.

Today marks nine years since Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right extremist, a terrible loss to those who knew and loved her and to politics. Zero lessons were learned though and the far-right continues to be pandered to. With more political assassinations in the US it all feels too familiar.

The higher the hair the closer to God

The rollers were on my side today

When someone asks what my type is, it's my beardy tatted weightlifter husband dancing to CMAT. It's also his birthday today so happy birthday @tombrayford.bsky.social

Fresh do!

Elon watching the Tesla stocks tank and diving in to his Scrooge McDuck money pit but it's all ket.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake
