Lovely meet up with friend at Bonnie & Wilde for food and drinks and then more drinks at The Guildford. A good birthday.

Birthday pressies along with a fizzy orange wine and a toothpick holder, which is very useful to me. 😀

This a million times over.

Loved the ad in Sainsbury’s “are you 13ish and want to be in a band, love punk, garage, metal etc” goes on to say don’t want homophobic or racist replies. Made me smile what a good kid.

Partner took me for a delicious birthday meal to Noto. Amazing Japanese fusion food, great service and cocktail and dessert.

Playing R&B auto tune in a cool restaurant is a massive NO NO.

I like this coffee shop.

Yeah you don’t have to back your words with facts anymore, just say what you believe. Infuriating.

Lovely lunch at Herringbone Abbeyhill with @arcticlass.bsky.social on a gorgeous sunny day. Then had a look in Toppings and bought these.

So cool they’re from Edinburgh.

Ernest and Bob brings the heat to Leith Walk this April with the Fire Bloom burger. While many claim the title of best burger in Edinburgh this small independent spot actually delivers on the hype with perfectly lacy edges and serious depth of flavour.

Just had two large coffees in my local because the dogs were in and I love being around them. Feel icky now with that much coffee inside me though.

Tonight I’ve switched TV dramas to watch again American Crime Story Impeachment about Clinton and Lewinsky.

Absolute vile couple; how these specimens can think they are in anyway superior to anyone is beyond me. These people are Farages people, lets not forget that.

Foods always good here.

Edinburgh particularly busy and packed and horrid (to me) today. Glad to be in Leith for lunch.

In one of my fave bars for opening time. Solo day today. Partner at Roadburn for a festival.

Nothing better for the economy than people clamoring to flee your country.

I loved it the first time around so going to start watching Mare of Easttown again. Kate Winslet was absolutely the best in it.

Not the worst thing in the world, but just finished a 10 hour shift with an ingrown big toenail and same shoe digging into top of my foot. 😩

It's certainly an issue, but a small one. Frankly it's more revealing about the priorities of today's BBC that they're more interested in investigating fake gays than challenging corrupt politicians.

“King and Queen will not meet Epstein survivors during US state visit.” Just the perpetrators… www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

"A grifter, Sandy? Are you sure?"

It's a sign of the utter madness of US discourse that after the noncing, the corruption, the illegal war, the disrespect to fallen soldiers, the destruction of America's reputation and the gutting of the country's economy, the thing that really triggered the MAGA base was a shit AI meme of Jesus.

Should be part of his next test.

Had the most painful big toe nail for a while (ingrown?) and my chiropodist appointment is still over two weeks away. 😭😭😭😭

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... This happened to us too in Copenhagen the other week. The gate was announced about half an hour before closing and there were dozens and dozens waiting to go through passport control. Quite stressful. Vomiting and passing out seems a bit excessive though.

A friend gave me some gorgeous daffodils. Their aroma is so strong and flowery.

Lovely little fox in our car park yesterday.

Had friends round last night so time to tackle this.

Our neighbours on our landing have a dog with them right now belonging to a family member. They knew when I got in from work and sent the dog out to the corridor to greet me. So lovely. It had a good nose round our flat too.

Wow, the first episode of Pluribus is fantastic. Can’t wait to watch the whole series.

Israel is now doing to Lebanon what it did, and is doing, to Gaza. War crimes every single day.

So lovely to meet my friend and had lunch at Cafe Andaluz. We both feel so sad we can’t converse with my sister like she could once. We miss the person she was.

Meeting one of my oldest friends today for lunch. She is my sister’s best friend and I haven’t seen her as much on account of my sister being so poorly. Looking forward to seeing her.

Finished the last season of Slow Horses. Gary amazing as usual. So tonight watched Darkest Hour and he was brilliant again. Liked that KST was in it too.

We all knew before elections putting a madman with no empathy for humans (including his own people) in charge would end this way.

The worst sentence I've read in my life

My only pressing appointment today is getting my nails done. Fancying a hot red colour. Then a nice lazy day off.

Out for a coffee with my book. Enjoying this one. Set in Iceland in the early 1800s.

youtube.com/watch?v=vvbN... This one is still the scariest.

Been working all day and came home and my partner had bought me a chocolate bunny. 😍

The Department of Homeland Security, the State Department, and the “Department of War” have all posted explicit Christian nationalist messages today:

Radiohead at Glasgow Garage. Before then Thom and Jonny at La Belle Angel Edinburgh.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I love corgis so much. Cutest things.

Don’t go out today if you’re not working (like me). It’s Baltic winter out. 🥶

Leonardo DiCaprio in Edinburgh, 2016. The Hollywood star visited Home, a restaurant created by Social Bite and Maison Bleue that raised funds for homeless people in Scotland.

This made me laugh.

Faith…in what? In who? 🤔💭⁉️‼️
