i don’t know if it’s the jaunty bow tie or what but i cannot stop laughing at this

I Swear was a lovely film. Laugh out loud in places but so touching and moving. I really felt for John. The actor playing him was brilliant.

Kermode on 🔥🔥🔥 #Melania

Watching I Swear tonight. Liked the opening scene. Brought a laugh.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... What were the benefits of Brexit again?

www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle... Interesting article. Never affected me but someone I know with a toxic parent.

New book. Resonates with happenings today. Not the wall but build up to war in the 30s.

Actually I need a little last Cointreau before bed.

It’s my weekend (Friday) night. Had a couple of Proseccos. Tomorrow I’m using a Christmas voucher for food for myself out and about.

That whole family are dodgy. The close links to Jimmy Savile and the Queen bailed out her pervert son. Probably just the tip of the iceberg.

I mean these treat coffees I get occasionally on my way to work when I’m working late to cheer me up. I’m going to have to stop these or cut down.

Bus fares going up again yet my salary never does. 😤😤😤😤

It’s three years to the day since my mum died suddenly. She was 94 but independent and in her own home. It was a horrible day.

Beautiful dinner at The Palmerston this evening. I had the pork schnitzel for main and it was so good. I do love going there.

And Young Fathers should’ve been nominated for original score for 28 Years Later. There’s no one like them.

You know what? You can keep your Hamnet, Battle, Marty and Sinners. 28 Years Later and The Bone Temple are where it’s at. And keep your best actor, it’s actually Jack O’Connell. The truth.

In a normal time, these file releases would have taken down everyone in this administration and everyone who supported it. But we are so beyond normal that this will be out of the news cycle in 24 hours and things will continue as they have for the next however many years. Absolutely disgusting

Tomorrow’s plans are The Bone Temple and then dinner in one of our favourite restaurants in Edinburgh. A good Saturday.

OMG the 90s were grim. #TOTP

Glad I changed hairdressers. This one is cheaper, cooler and edgier than my last place. Best of all they play good music, last one only played the shittiest pop music that did my head in.

Freezing at bus stop.

Got a 3 1/2 hour hair colouring appointment this afternoon. It’s a long time but needs must.

And relax. Off for three days now. I need crisps and wine.

It is genuinely astounding how Reform, Labour and the Tories have decided to fight tooth-and-nail for the votes of the same 30-35 percent of the electorate and completely ignore everyone else.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... An interesting article. HRT certainly for me helps the physical symptoms but the mental ones are a whole different ball park. The struggles are awful and debilitating.

Once upon a time in the 20th century, there was a funny little man with a funny little mustache who aspired at one time to be an artist His art wasn’t good and that angered him because more than being a good artist, he wanted to be recognized. Praised. Adored.

Had a lovely encounter with a Rottweiler at work. Was told she was friendly and she was. Got my hands licked, big head leant against me, dog turned round for rear back scratches. The owner couldn’t get moving because everyone was cooing over the dog. Gorgeous.

Finally watched One Battle After Another. Riveting and Leo was spectacular as always.

youtube.com/watch?v=6fwi... I must share this again on Burns Day. Watch this and weep. So beautifully done.

Also, any impeachment of Trump needs to remove his entire core team. Trump was somewhat kept in check in Term 1 by Republicans who saw the Constitution as the limit of their power. The people Trump has around him now are picked specifically to support unconstitutionality. They all have to go.

Justin Hawkins Rides Again was an absolute tonic tonight and everything I hoped it would be. Laugh out loud funny and Justin was hilarious and quite lovely.

Had a good lunch at Roti King - chicken satays and beef Rendang. Then a dreich walk down Leith to the new Browns place for coffee. Very busy inside.

Listening to these guys this morning. Good metal.

Just watched a good documentary about the beginnings of the Bay Area thrash metal scene. Loved seeing Metallica with Cliff Burton and Anthrax supporting when I was 16. Brilliant gig.

It’s fair to say I’m so glad to be off this weekend. It’s been a long drag. Pizza and wine for dinner then more Blue Lights which I love so much.

Had the misfortune of hearing Poison’s Unskinny Bop in work dining room so it’s been trundling round my head like a bad downer ever since.

People “suddenly” angry about Trump’s comments. Why didn’t this anger enough people and stopped him before he got in?

There is ZERO point to reading/watching/listening to anything BBC news has to say about any aspect of Trump's presidency. They are paralysed by fear. Trump could take a shit on the White House lawn on live TV and someone from the Beeb would be on hand to call it 'enigmatic' or 'unconventional'.

And it has gone. I had a loose nail that underneath was growing into the skin plus a corn underneath. No wonder it was agony. Had to endure a few seconds of pain whilst he got to area but then it felt lovely.

Had my fingernails done earlier and now off to chiropodist as I have an excruciatingly sore big toenail. Even the duvet on bed hurts when touching it. 🦶

I’m suing Donald Trump 500 billion dollars for wasting all our fucking time with his shit.

Shite day. Need wine and/or Prosecco.

Took in a 'dog friendly' screening of Hamnet yesterday. The film starts with Jessie Buckley whistling at a hawk, but the entire canine element in the cinema took it as a signal to go for walkies and it all kicked off.

Lovely doggy cuddles at work today. An elderly spaniel and a massive unit who nerved me a bit because of his size, but he was a sweetie. Home now for Wing Stop.

Imagine how much of a fucking fanny you'd have to be to accept a prize that someone else had won and be genuinely pleased with it? It's actually quite hard to imagine how such a person could achieve anything in life.

I see Starkey is on Social Media now.

I’m reading a fascinating book about the road to the American Civil War in the 1800s and I love that I can Google the names and see their faces.

Late to it but loving Blue Lights. I care about the characters and what happens to them. The French cop show Spiral was one of my top three favourite programmes. Loved the characters in that too.

I hate that new build at Haymarket. At the very least it’s a constant wind tunnel in summer or winter and blows a gale all the time. The only two shops are crap and it’s an eyesore and gives nothing to locals.
