Treated myself to a little day out today, it was so worth it! If you have time to visit the Andy Warhol - Portraits of America exhibition at the MK Gallery, I highly recommend it. “The idea is not to live forever; it is to create something that will.” ~ Andy Warhol

Tonight’s memory on repeat: That time I offered to cover an elderly gent’s shopping because he’d forgotten his wallet. Only £20 or so. Until he boshed 15 lucky dips for that night’s lotto on his bill. And I let him. 🤡

Friday nights are for dancing. Saturday mornings are for resting sore feet, fuzzy heads and wondering where the hell your voice has gone! Quadrophenia night was a hit! X

Happy birthday to the song that makes my heart go skippity skip every time I hear that lolling, lullaby intro… This song has bought me so much joy, and will continue to, forever more! 🤍

Very much subscribing to the theory that we are responsible for creating our own joy, and my calendar is beginning to reflect that. Valuable time, with valued people, at every available opportunity. I shall enter my 40’s with wonderful memories in the making ❤️ x

How did Mr Tumble sneakily recreating the cover to Black Sabbath's debut album escape me for so many years?

Somehow, seemingly overnight, we went from this to this… Happy sweet 16 to my baby girl Keavey! Articulate, bold, beautiful and fierce. Friday 13th may be unlucky for some but look what I was presented with… 🌸🩷🌸

Today would have been the 78th birthday of the late, great, Stephen Peter Marriott. Very few artists before or since have come close to his vocal prowess. A magnificent talent, and a prodigious legacy. Always remembered x 🩶🕯️🩶 📸 Fin Costello

January 102th. Beginning to strongly suspect have died and am stuck in purgatory. Guardian Angel is bald from stress and has a drink problem now. If anyone has seen my will to live bowling about the place hissing and spitting, please steer it this way. Much obliged! X

Anyone else find it difficult to delete expired digital tickets/passes in their “wallet”? In a world without paper tickets these serve as reminders of amazing times with brilliant people and I don’t want to delete them! X

All week I’ve sworn up and down I’d be 5 pints deep by 7pm on Friday despite working the weekend shift… I’m actually about to spend the evening horizontal with as much tea as is physiologically manageable. Love you bye x

Nothing will humble you quicker than screwing your ring door bell back in place while it’s in night mode and you’re not wearing make up… Honestly. Fucking things should come with a self-esteem obliterator warning. X

Made the mistake of sticking my head in over there and was called an attention seeker, a cunt (without the capital C), a dick and a fud, amongst other things. It’s nice to have somewhere where people just behave better x

Morning all. My thoughts this morning are with you if you need it today. This time of year isn’t always jingly and sparkly and full of cheer so, if you need 5 minutes on the back step and a gentle hand squeeze, I’m here. 🤍 x

This is one of my favourite views in the whole wide world. Just below is the nightshelter I used to run, and I’ve lost count of the sunsets and sunrises I watched from our back step. Shoe Town you are so very pretty. What a beautiful sunset. 🩷🧡💜

Popped me earphones in to keep me motivated at work and Liam Gallagher’s Wall of Glass has just come on the ol’ shuffle roulette. Have ye ever heard such a din?! Flat, nasal bellowing at best. Cacophonic death wail at worst. -1/10. Do not recommend 🥴 x

CHRISTMAS WISHLIST ALERT* As some may know, every 6 weeks or so I volunteer with police, a local housing charity and our local drug & alcohol service. We deliver an operation that helps safeguard and support people engaged in sex work, promoting harm reduction and encouraging engagement.

Have you ever had a “pal” that seems to just try and deliver a put down whenever you’re nattering idly with them? I genuinely feel like I’m being picked at and I was being nice so it stings a bit and has knocked my day off kilter. I dunno whether I’m the problem here or not. 😕 x

Have floated the idea of starting a coven to a couple of colleagues today. If you can provide an instrument (ability to play not essential), are not averse to partial nudity, have a fondness for singing/chanting and enjoy hysteria as a pastime please call me. X

An exhausted back step ponder! Good morning to everyone, except the following: • people who do not toast their crumpets twice • traffic wardens • that kid who smashed my My Little Pony lunch box and flask in 1991. I still remember you, you bad arsehole.

It’s crystal clear out there tonight and the temps have just dipped below zero. There was some spooky fog coming in orf the river in swirly tendrils, but it was very low creeping. I feel like I drove home at a very secret time of night. It was lovely. X

SWEP prep for tonight means another monster shift, so I’m propelling myself forward using caffeine and galloping guitars… I need a holiday. (Or broccoli and Stilton soup if anyone has a bowl spare…)X

Blowing a kiss to someone who is attempting to incite you into road rage encounter is more likely to escalate the situation than diffuse it. Who knew?! 😐 x

My friend has bought this into work today. Immediately squirted straight into my mouth. I wish I could tell you that it is a culinary atrocity but the truth of the matter is it’s actually a belting little condiment. X

As a professional trying to access and action support for someone who has experienced a violent sexual crime, may I just say I’m shocked by how horribly process driven and brutally flawed the system is. Trauma informed practitioners aren’t enough to negate the actual horror of navigating it. 💔
