This astronaut thing on channel 4 is a joke.. right?

Awww I'm watching an old Hetty Wainthropp, and it's got Mrs McCluskey in it! I'm both terrified of and a bit in love with Mrs McCluskey.

Also, it's that time of year when my internal thought is far too often "uuurgh, michaela bloody Strachan again"

I'm not enjoying this series of Robson (from Robson and Jerome)'s weekendy things nearly as much as others. It feels a bit like an advert for various air b&bs.

I love that these Traitors tasks are all in pissing rain. Lol.

I'm a bit perturbed by how attractive i find Victoria Coren dressed as a barmaid.

I'm watching Carol, and I've only just realised that Rooney Mara and Mara Wilson are two different people.

I've been hugely enjoying seeing Sian Reese-Willliams smashing it on old celeb University Challenge this week. I love her.

I'm watching an old Morse with Roberta Taylor, and I always forget how GOOD she is. She's my favourite Dr Who audio non-companion too.

Oh I love Ballet Shoes so much @nationaltheatre.org.uk Such a lovely show.

Omg the boys on bikes along the south bank are a bloody liability. I've been remarkably restrained and only shouted once, and kept it to OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD BOYS! in my best teacher voice.

Holy shit that was absolutely superb. Superb.

In attempts to cure depression, I'm off to see Merrily we Roll Along in the cinema in a bit. I know nothing at all about it, so it'd better be joyous Sondheim not misery Sondheim.

Life is all a bit awful, but I'm going to that London on Saturday to see Ballet Shoes again, yaaaay. I adored it last year.

They accepted it. Now just a two year wait. Huzzah.

Someone please make me stop spending! So far I've bought fancy earplugs, a stripy jumper, two tickets to Ballet Shoes in Dec& Jan, plus a folk concert & 2 classical ones and now i want to spend more omg. Why aren't I happy yet?

Went to see the Springsteen film. Wooooow that was good! The scene with the psychiatrist broke me. Oof.

Ooof the Springsteen film is so good. Dark and painful, but good.

Looool. Just got into a conversation with my cousin on WhatsApp and ended up coming out, and he was all "yeah... somehow I knew that's what you were going to say"

I've been rewatching Derry Girls. Every time I have a different favourite. Today I'm especially loving how Michelle rolls her eyes at anything Jenny Joyce says or does..

Also, need to look into an autism diagnosis, because.. yeah

Urgh. I'm so lonely sometimes.

Megan mcCubbin is on House of Games, and she's just so beautiful, I can't even...

Look what I've got! I learnt to type on this.

Wait till you see what I just bought, omg. So beautiful it might cure my current Mad.

Did a mini coming out at my friend today and she didn't bat an eyelid. Think she must have already known. Yay?

David Olusoga has the most beautiful voice.

Stuff is shit. Not ALL the stuff, but a significant portion of the stuff.

I wanted to like that Forsytes thing, but... not so much. The stupid hairstyles pissed me off more than anything. Why is it so hard to make this series interesting? The one with Gina McKee was better but also tedious.

Also, I may have kind of possibly met someone...

So, had another graduation today. Much more fun than the one in 1996.

@jayemakesart.bsky.social is this anything you might be interested in? fixr.co/event/sheffi...

Why is Joan Cusack so attractive in School of Rock?

Yeah. I left. So grumpy

I'm in the world's slowest cafe. It's been 15 minutes and all I'm waiting for is a tea. I'm going to have to leave soon...

How many slices of garlic bread is too many slices of garlic bread? Does that change if you had a fucking panic attack AT WORK? Asking for a friend.

Cat Burns is SO fabulous. I can't even.

I'd never heard of Cat Burns before yesterday and now my tiktok is 90% Cat Burns/Cat Burns fans and I'm totally here for that.

Oh. I've never heard of Cat Burns before, but.. I like her.

Argh. Why is it all shit? Booo.

Off to see another play tonight. This one had a warning for rape, death, animal slaughter and racial slurs, so.... I'm not anticipating a huge improvement on my mood.

I saw a play i absolutely HATED this afternoon. It was about generational trauma (but totally didn't say that in the advertising, or I wouldn't have gone) and was just 4 women all being vile to each other. And then playing with soil.

I'm watching Before Sunrise for the first time in years, and its still so wonderful. I've seen it so many times. The chemistry is so perfect. They look soooo young now though!

Fuck it, I'm taking myself on a hot date on Saturday, two plays and a meal out.

Aaargh and also uuurgh.

Sorry for swearing, but like... it's merited.

Oh I am so fucking furious! Aaaarggh. Drove to meadowhall, and reform were out in force at a roundabout. First I thought they were sticking up flags, but then realised they were standing around waving flags.

Omg. Perfect Strangers is on iplayer! I haven't seen it in many years, and I LOOOVE it. I have the video, but no means of playing it. Just watched part 1, & it's just as good as i remember. So twisty and interesting. It's all about family stories and secrets.

Awww eleventh million tween girls got on the tube at Wembley, the one opposite me is wearing legwarmers, a rara skirt and fingerless lace gloves. The world is righting itself.

Prom was superb! I can't get over the difference it makes having all the context and detail before hearing it, although the music by itself was sublime too. @auroraorchestra.bsky.social
