Star City is amazing television. I can't understand how it's not making more waves. It's fabulous. #starcity

Time and time again life just kicks you in the chops.

#starcity eh? Bloody hell.

Today is NARVIN DAY. So, I'm doing the dance and singing the song. Sadly I won't be actually listening to it til this evening because work. Anyway. Narvin day. Hooray. #narvin #gallifrey @seancarlsen.bsky.social#narvin

I'm beyond fed up with courier companies and Royal Mail flat out lying about why they didn't deliver my stuff but would like to keep the payment I made for speedy delivery. No. My house is not inaccessible. No. We weren't out. No. You didn't go to the front door (or even get out of your vehicle)

Already at the blocking people I (used to) like stage, and it's been *how many* minutes?

It's a good thing I'm a nobody and thus will never be on DID. I could never whittle down my choice to the required number. All this I know to be true yet still...some regret lingers.

From Lake Geneva...

The news app served me up another 'why you are going to have a shit retirement' story this morning. Cheers for that, Apple and the times. Just what I needed.

Wow. #starcity WTF. I was watching it thinking...but we didn't see our side of this???... and wondering if I'd gone mad... The music was good. Hoping to find the song somewhere online. And the piano piece.

Just saw Tuner at the Picturehouse (along with like maybe 5 other people. It was a great film. Loved it. The music especially was fabulous.

OMG #FAM

I love musical theatre.

Having to explain a joke kinda ruins it. But so does mistyping the joke. So basically I'm failing across the board today. (Edited 11:27 via @skeetsapp.com)

I miss second hand bookshops. Which also still exist but that whole...planning an entire holiday around visiting every second hand bookshop on the booktrail map because you were specifically looking for something and that was the only way... those days are gone now. The internet will provide. 1/2

Feeding the cats in the morning is the very best bit of the day. It all deteriorates from this point onwards.

Funny how you can go right off stuff in the blink of an eye.

The true sounds of summer. Swing out sister and floorboard sanding.

It's a #swingoutsister kind of day. The sound of summer, for me. I love them all year round of course, since blue mood was first issued as a single (1985? Maybe 1986). I have everything they have ever release including the Japan exclusives. But they really are the #soundofsummer 1/2

COYS always

The fat lady stayed away. Rejoice.

I am SO FUCKING HAPPY

Genuinely feeling targeted today. Probably will continue the whole weekend.

When I said that I couldn't wait for the next thing about how great the north is... I was lying.

I can't wait to read some more articles about how popular Andy Burnham is and how important the north is.

So I guess it didn't matter that I never knew the names of most of the new people. And now I do know some names though. Also... Green Death! 🤣 That was my first thought anyway. However. I do not see how they can get us to 'a point' to close of this season next week. 1/2 #FAM

Oh dear. I've just downloaded my latest @bigfinish.bsky.social releases. Trying to pretend I'm not really quite behind (haven't finished Branches yet). Sigh.

The Gap series?

My two best friends are both gooners. One of them is being lovely about the whole situation.

Any fule know the toast marketing board has let itself down. No mention of the thunderbox. Where is the forlorn hope. Books do furnish a room but only good ones. I'm sure I've heard that music before... I'm gonna go hide in my room of roots. And make some blue soup. My ruby, my pearl. M O O N.

There are some books that I'm shocked didn't make the cut. But I won't mention them yet.

There's a definite dearth of humour on the list. Which is, I think, a shame. And almost none of my favourite living writers made the cut. Funny or...not. And the lack of certain other genres is irritating too. But many of my fave books are there so I'm happy with that.

Disappointed that one book in particular wasn't there chizz chizz.

I've been talking about the winner a lot over the last few weeks because operation sort out the books revealed I own 6 copies and I refused to get rid of any of them cos they are all lovely editions.

Very very very happy about the last instalment of the book list.

Blimey Charlie. Things are hotting up in For All Mankind.

The Graun goes from bad to worse.

My bad birthday has just improved. COYS

Has anyone else noticed the Amazon algo going nuts? I just got a notification that they think I should buy energy drinks, based on my recent activity... my recent activity was buying two office chairs, some second hand books, and some hearing aid filters. I've never had an energy drink in my life.

This is how it used to be. Bank rings you, out of the blue. demands personal info. You? Say I think not and hang up. you call the bank ideally from a different line using the phone no. handily on their website. Issue resolved. How it is now? All that but no phone number visible on website. WTF

Large singer has a touch of laryngitis and won't be performing this evening.

From. The. Lane.

COYS

Game of chairs

The celeb traitors line up is very unbalanced.

I had my second shingles jab yesterday afternoon and blimey Charlie I feel as sick as a dog that's very sick. Also my arm is killing me. I had a lot of plans for spring cleaning today. None will be actioned. Not a one. Unless things improve massively soon.

For all mankind has entered the traditional 'Oh no, wait, it's brilliant again! The set up episodes were worth it!" phase. It's about time. But when oh when are we gonna see Margot again.

Very nearly got dragged back into Eastenders today. Well. I did get dragged back. I watched it. But that's it I'm not weakening again. Nope. Probably.

Never forgotten.

When I look at insta all I see is endorsements for Eve Curls. WTF? Even River Song is plugging it. These are people with real curly hair and as such I know that they know what works can change from hour to hour let alone day to day. What's going on? And also does it in fact work?
