Huge chunks of blossom and presumably pollen floating around

Following up with the Basic Rocket Science episode of Community 🚀 (and the anus flag)

Watching BBC Horizon’s Artemis: To the Moon and Back. Followed the crew and programme for 3 1/2 years. Made a one hour documentary… 🙄

“Frustration with modern dating” feels like an awfully charitable phrasing for what’s motivating these guys

Finally put some new storage boxes in the wardrobe. Margo is not happy as I’ve disrupted one of her sleeping spots. Let’s see if she can adapt

Finally found* my misplaced purse after two weeks. I sensed it wasn’t lost and was in my flat somewhere. Retracing steps is hard when I can barely remember what I had for dinner last night. But I got there. (*in pocket of a new coat I haven’t worn since)

Apparently I need to be shamed for the colour of my scalp. According to TikTok

All three Weston beaches. Yet Easter hols have just finished and on sunny days lots of people in the water. Always makes me shudder when I walk by

🧵While the Cow and Calf Rocks are iconic landmarks of Ilkley Moor, a third member of the herd, the Bull Rock (or Bull Stone) is no longer part of the formation. Historically, the "Bull" was a third, even larger rock that stood near the road but was quarried away in the

I did have to yell SHUT UP at the screen a few times with them all shouting at each other

Finished Big Mistakes. After a very ropey first episode where I couldn’t sit still, it made me so uncomfortable I pushed through and it was good. Worked out the ending very early on. Nicky Dardano is very like David Rose without the expensive tastes and pretentiousness

Do you think Starmer even went “really?! 🤔 ” when told Mandy had been approved by the FCO?

Still getting a lot of Artemis II content in my Instagram feed and it is just so welcome

Read the Wikipedia page. He’s a delightful chap, isn’t he. A real piece of work. Really respects those womenfolk

Ok. What we see may have been taken out of context

Not only did Hegseth (what is that name!) read that fake bible quote but he doesn’t know how to pronounce Ezekiel

This is heaps of fun! Write your name in satellite images! Play with it - so good! Source: buff.ly/JtzWKFH

A friend (who doesn't like being copied into posts so I'm not citing them) explained this brilliantly: "They have all the power - financial, political, judicial, military, most of the news - but not cultural. And they hate it. It's not enough to control everything, they want to be loved doing it."

Jobs for the boys. Particularly galling when there was a very well respected and competent woman already in the role. It wasn’t vacant. It didn’t need to be filled. Arrogant, patriarchal stupidity at every turn

I’m obsessed with the Reels feed of that physical therapist with a doctorate and 14 years’ experience counting down how many days Trump has left one way or another. I’m really invested

Mind you, I had nightmares after a particularly distressing episode of Hart to Hart. Stop laughing at the back

I may have traumatised my young nephew with Rear Window - only the bit at the end when he’s struggling with all his might not to be pushed out of said window

Without a doubt Watership Down.

Excellent. The local council is just about to agree to hand over the keys to LN as the operator of the refurbished and much loved venue in my town 🍍

Had a really productive day (not really related to work). Sorted some probate stuff, booked hotel for a little trip away, took M to the vet, sorted a dentist appointment for my pa. Feel ok

In case you’re wondering, I didn’t go

She’s forgiven me

Got to take Margo to the V E T Makes me so nervous as she hates it. Have enlisted my neighbours to assist with capturing and carrying. But I’m sure she can sense my worry and gets pre-emptively skittish

My chair has said we’ve missed you (she’s not one for platitudes) and my boss said I’m so glad you’re back I don’t feel quite so useless today

Ive just asked my brother a question and he’s replied with a link to Google. He’s such a fucker. Haven’t laughed so much since the last stupid thing he did

Margo has now started to make herself comfy on the stuff on the desk. No judgement accepted on my mess, thank you

Let’s play another round of Is that Margo purring next to me with a snotty nose or is it my tummy?

The scientist was 1,200 years old?

Cinema is showing Stand By Me tonight in honour of Rob Reiner. Haven’t seen it in years, never on the big screen. But leaving the flat after 7pm? Could be a dealbreaker

Did have a lovely pastry from M&S

Survived my first day back. Nothing seems to have exploded in my absence or any grenades in the inbox. Didn’t add any value but it’s only day 1

I don’t know if it’s just me but I’ve just got out a blanket for the bed

Nice to see the blasted building site over the road has found more irritating stone cutting work to do. Since 8am angle grinder has been droning on

Right, now I’ve had six weeks off when can I go on holiday?

Happy six weeks since surgery day to me Which also means return to work day (in some shape or form) But, more importantly, happy being able to drive myself around day. M&S Food Hall here I come!

Today I heard someone I respect say “the battery will be as dead as a dormouse” and that makes me sad

I walked today. The most I’ve walked in a few months. My hips are screaming at me

Sitting next to a family of four with toddlers. Could be my worst nightmare but they’re all well behaved. Parents even using the wonderful words “inside voices please” to the eldest

They haven’t even stuck me in the window (which I wouldn’t mind) but a two person table

There are some rare advantages of being a solo person. The four people and the couple with a pram couldn’t get into the popular restaurant which doesn’t take reservations. I waltzed straight past them as they grumbled

That’ll teach me for buying something gorgeous from the blasted continent. Thanks #fuckingbrexit
