He’s been like that for 15 minutes so I’m guessing it’s my bed time 🤷🏼‍♀️

Reminder that Henry Hoovers are made in Britain by a unionised workforce

Slight tea light accident at the table. I’m not entirely impressed 🤦🏼‍♀️

Living nearer to my best friends means I get to spend Christmas Eve totally sober, eating broccoli soup I’d frozen with slightly stale herb bread instead of chocolate and honestly, I’m loving it!

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

A couple of halves with my drinking companion, Pixie. (Owner not shown).

It’s a bit fresh out there

I had friends and family round earlier. One of them was the brother who looked after the cat for a couple of months until the beginning of December. The cat rewarded my treachery in letting people in the house by hiding the entire time. 4 hours after they all left, he’s still upstairs sulking. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Actual photo of Mischa and Me at home right now. Happy Christmas to my friends in Archives everywhere.

The cat is being a bigger brat than usual. He escaped into the garden when I went out and for the past hour has been refusing to come in. Every time I go to see if he’s scared himself yet, he’s waiting by the door but runs off because he’s not scared if I’m there! I could really do without.

Help! Banbury Museum has been told that Cherwell District Council is cancelling ALL of its core funding. There is a very tight deadline - Friday 19th December - to tell the Council what you think. Please respond to the consultation and share this post www.banburymuseum.org/news/no-fund...

Is there anything more fun than totally screwing something important right before Christmas? 😭

I left wet shoes on the step to dry. Looks like the foxes had fun! 🙄

Tiny cafe, loud man. A physically uncomfortable experience.

Go for gold this Christmas. Tomorrow is the last day to order an adoption that will arrive in time for Christmas. Give a gift that glitters and does good. From medieval rings to Roman pearl earrings, your support helps care for 200,000+ objects. Adopt at colchester.cimuseums.org.uk/adoptanobject

I could really do with putting the heating on but Mischa is not down with moving!

Just heard someone describe themself as an “escape goat” on a podcast.

Office Assistant is not being altogether helpful. Had to remind him holiday doesn’t start for more than a week yet!

Reasserting my working class identity with an eBay purchase. A pair of pot dogs! My grandfather would love them 😂

Two black ones, two silver and a crappy red one.

It’s a bit fresh out there but I still had a wander out on the pier. Not impressed with the cafe being closed but still a good dose of fresh air.

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

I see the curse of pretendy followers has followed us here. I’m not going to follow American soldiers, even if you are a General who’s clearly fascinated by my anti-royal, pro-cat ramblings!

After a few months with my brother while I was getting sorted, Mischa is home and very clingy 🥹

Brought my little friend, Mischa, home from my brother’s house where he’s been staying for a while. He went straight under the sofa and now I have no idea where he is. He was NOT pleased to see me!

The NHS wins again. Saw my GP at lunchtime after requesting the appointment online on Sunday night. By close of play I’d been contacted by hospital to go and get an x-ray. You can keep your American model. The NHS isn’t perfect but it’s amazing and ours.

Oh no, the Wokes have banned Christmas so I’ve had to disguise this tree as a non-denominational shrine.

Today is Equal Pay Day: the day women effectively stop earning compared to men. We fight inequality wherever we find it. That’s why GMB Union members have launched more than 25 equal pay claims at employers across the UK 👏

Former Met Officer and serial rapist David Carrick is already in prison having admitted 71 offences of sexual violence Today he’s been found guilty of sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl and a former partner

Imagine a world where getting WiFi is done quickly and efficiently. Oh I do imagine it 🙄

Wondering if you have enough batteries for Christmas? My advice is to move house! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Why do ppl ask “Is this still available “ on selling sites. Is it scammy or something because you don’t hear from them again and it’s obvious that it’s still available because it’s still listed.

In a spell-binding move, Reform run, cash-strapped, Kent County Council repaints the yellow 'Keep Clear' lines outside a school that closed 10 years ago news.sky.com/story/reform...

Any Catholics or historians able to help. My Irish relatives had their details entered in The Golden Book at Liverpool Cathedral. I’m not aware they had links with the Cathedral and we seem to be the only Irish immigrants not to end up in Liverpool! Why might they have done this?

Did I put up a Christmas tree up because I knew if I put it away with everything else in boxes after the move I wouldn’t be bothered getting it out again? You betcha!

Sorting out is very tedious but at least I know what I was up to 34 years ago 😱

It’s a beautiful sunny day in Lancing

This is just bloody appalling. www.aol.co.uk/articles/fea... Many women are afraid to go out, particularly on their own, after religiously aggravated rapes and assaults

Damn.

In order to get a parking permit for my local area, I need a V5. What part of people moving house makes it likely anyone can lay hands on it. I have to apply digitally but they can’t use digital to communicate with DVLA.

There’s a guy in this park using a lacrosse stick to throw the ball for his dog.

The Knitfire, king of the skies. Superior in every way to the Messerschknit…

Laughing at all the Australians saying “no thanks” and pointing out he was born in the states!

Genuinely laughing to keep from crying at this instant classic from @mcsweeneys.net www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/hi-...

Charity warehouse proving me with juicy treats today! Studio pottery, vintage Pyrex and a big old West German pot!

The university term has begun and the city library has filled with teens doing everything but shutting up and working. I have never felt so much sympathy for Boomers!
