We have snacks, drinks and Scandi Christmas music. It’s time to put up the tree. 🎄

Jarvis is wearing one of the upholstery options at John Lewis. #totp

The great microphone shortage of 1995 #totp

Are they in some sort of Dickens adaptation here? #totp

Enjoying the pathetic flimsiness of the tinsel here. #totp

Bjork (Deceased) #totp

An awful lot of Mulligan & O’Hare throat singing in tonight’s episodes. #totp

Having a chives/spirit level moment seeing that it’s Peel and Vance. #totp

Why’s he on stage with three toilet roll covers? #totp

The Big Lion One! #totp

Steven Tyler and Alanis Morrissette got their mouths from the same shop. #totp

I know hawk moths are big but this is ridiculous. #totp

She’s also covering her thighs twice. #totp

Isn’t that the outfit she was wearing when she said she couldn’t be there? #totp

Two #DidntHappens in one episode is pushing it. #totp

Covering up those thighs twice is unacceptable. #totp

They’re obviously slipping something that didn’t happen into every show now. #totp

They’re not stopping. #totp

Insufficient weekend, yet again. This is bullshit.

We’re doing a recycled Christmas craft competition in work and my team’s making a nativity. The others are making the stable, manger, star, animals etc. and I’ve been asked to make Meece-based nativity characters. This is the first of the magi. Repurposed mouse and sari scraps.

Need to prime and paint them but I made Len some dumbbells.

Went to Wickes, which is already the best day ever, and on the way back saw this lad, who I think is a red kite.

While waiting for the 3rd coat of varnish to dry on the barre studio floor I’ve cut the walls, floor and ceiling for the cocktail bar. Imagine walnut floor, bird wallpaper, recessed lighting in the ceiling (hence the gap). Len’s like, “Come on, I can touch the ceiling ffs,” but I’m excited about it.

Anyway, something cool happened to me this week. @abbuccitelli.bsky.social contacted me to ask if he can use a photo of my cross stitched Rickroll QR code as ‘an example of the variability of rickrolls’ in an academic book about digital technology and folklore. Something to tell the grandkids.

Just mitred a miniature skirting board, in case you were worrying that I’m taking this 1/6 scale barre studio thing too seriously…

Was going to do some scalpelly things between coats of varnish on Len’s floor but I’ve lost my scalpel, which is really fucking annoying. And slightly worrying. But more just really fucking annoying because now I’m going to have to *bristles* tidy up.

Len’s barre arrived and it’s a great fit for the eyelets. And she has a locker to keep her clothes in, if she ever gets any… And thinking ahead to her cocktail bar, these eyelets will hopefully make pretty convincing recessed lighting. Farrers reckons Len’s giving off Breakfast Club vibes here.

Same jokes again next week, yeah? #totp

Well, I don’t think anyone can’t say that was six episodes of Top of the Pops on BBC Four #TOTP

Vic! Man, I loved him so much. #totp

Tina’s a year older here than I am now. Fucking hell. #totp

What are they trying to do to me tonight? #ExcellentThighs #totp

Oh my. The Trousers. And everything else. #totp

Crispy biscuits! #totp

Too distracted by the #ExcellentThighs to post about the #ExcellentThighs #totp

At least they’ve stopped trying to bring the tube stations into the studio. #totp

V neck with a medallion though. #totp

Suddenly craving malted milk. #totp

Obligatory #totp

Every dog in the neighbourhood is howling. #totp

Someone let Dr Hillary Jones do karaoke. #totp
