It’s Friday night and I fancied a drop of booze.

I have been added to my cat's WhatsApp group. The whole street has a group so they all know where he is and who has given him treats already. He has a better social life than me as proven by the fact that this is the first group chat I've ever been in.

there’s no way this is the same brain i used to remember phone numbers with

I only realised why Ray-Bans are called ray bans. I'm 40.

Me n my two youngest, looking at interesting things and going for a really lovely lunch, a good day

This is a big birthday day, I cannot believe I’ve reached this number! 60! Yes I do want shocked disbelief please…

Today I’m feeling very lucky, a few short years ago I didn’t realise my life could look like this. Surrounded by fab humans and found my person… Also cats, forever grateful for cats.

Living with cats is just constantly hearing a sound from another room and saying "what are you doing in there?" in a loud voice.

I will NOT fall asleep on the train, nope, not even a little bit.

Fuck it, I'm going in.

Sitting waiting for a train, and this is when I notice my not so great “knee shaving skills” yes sadly that is a thing

Complimented on my stag beetle last night, this is the kind of female interactions we love, girls randomly boosting each other

Such a dilemma! #BookSky

Four-year-old just told his toddler sister “it’s time for the hunt” and they both left the room. Not my business

City dog: “these country dogs are huge!”😂

I went out for some booze, I’m in my bed feeling vaguely unwell. T’was a fab night though

Lightning! I think… *stares hopefully out of the window*

Love this a little bit

I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's perfectly acceptable to answer "books and pastries" when someone asks what your plans for the weekend are.

Feeling vaguely human today, have high hopes for a drop in temperature this weekend. I mean I’m REALLY excited by the prospect. Because I don’t do the hot. I’m a pale and interesting shadow dweller. (Not a vampire)

“Good day, sir. I’d heard you’d recently come into possession of some bread. I see that I was not misinformed. As it so happens, I too enjoy baked goods. Might you be persuaded to part with a small percentage? I would of course offer fair compensation at the current market rate.”

Just a friendly reminder that your desire to open a quaint bookstore on a cobblestone side street in Edinburgh that doubles as a café and triples as a cat rescue is valid. Don’t allow anyone to disrespect you by telling you otherwise.

Hopped over the water for the day yesterday, it was beautiful and knackering

Happy Father's Day 🖤

I’ve spent a lazy day recovering from a limoncello overdose yesterday evening. I have now had a very healthy (honest guv) dinner of roast chicken thighs and fries….

I’m glad that pistols at dawn isn’t a thing anymore because fuck getting up that early to shoot someone.

Lovely day out

I don't smile anymore because that's how the flies get out

Ok but.

Today, I shall mostly be gazing wistfully into the middle-distance like an old-school romantic hero in a classic movie* * ᵃˡᵗʰᵒᵘᵍʰ ᴵ’ᵐ ᵃᶜᵗᵘᵃˡˡʸ ʲᵘˢᵗ ᵗʳʸᶦⁿᵍ ᵗᵒ ʳᵉᵐᵉᵐᵇᵉʳ ʷʰʸ ᴵ ᵉⁿᵗᵉʳᵉᵈ ᵗʰᵉ ʳᵒᵒᵐ…

I may have napped, this fella took full advantage

Went out for some fresh air with my oldest. It was good.

Awake early on my non working day, there is tea in bed and time to scroll. Maybe snooze. Small but significant pleasures.

GOD: Alright, I've given them war, disease, storms, insects, fires, floods, social and political unrest... What else can I throw at them? GABRIEL: How about flyenas? GOD: Flyenas? GABRIEL: Okay, now hear me out...

I appear to be inconveniencing the cat

Wondering why I am not leaping up to provide fifth meal of the day #caturday #catsofbluesky

Cosy Saturday, interrupted mid groom #caturday #catsofbluesky

A no sleep night, reminds me what I hated about insomnia, apart from the no sleep. Brains really do like to work overtime of a night, don’t they?

The crows recognise me now. They know I have dog treats and they like my dog treats. If I'm at the park there'll be dozens of the sweeties stopping by for a snack. I think the other park goers think I'm Odin collecting reports.

My get up and go has done a definite disappearing act. Think it was reading until gone 2:00am that did it…yes very rock n roll, I know…

Happy Pride Month from the Green Party! 🏳️‍🌈

I’ve had a pint and a half of shandy and two cocktails and I’m very very sleepy…no, not pissed, sleepy!

Woke up at three in the morning because the bedroom door slammed, sleepily asked beloved if he was ok. On discovering he was fast asleep next to me pondered the likelihood of murderers/burglars lurking in the hall. Did not investigate.

If they have one of those safety bars in the hotel shower and you don't pretend you're a naked wet ballerina, you’re not me.

As a person who overreacts a lot we are still underreacting

I used the words skulduggery and malfeasance in a skeet today and it made me feel inordinately happy. It was in this one obviously, but that still counts right?

I myself prefer a bouncy chateau but I’ve learned to live with birthday disappointments
