What's this then? 👀 A gig review in a Houston newspaper back in 1980. The tour that possibly had more special effects than any other with laser lights, staging and...Quaver and Stuart wore some rather revealing clothing, too! #WIPSnips

For once, I remembered a character birthday. Turning 43 today is Quaver and Seth's youngest, Quinlan. He displayed the same prodigious talent as his mother with a personality very much like Seth's. He looks a lot like Seth, just with Quaver's eye shape! University lecturer, dad of three. 🎂

Come off it, Quaver, you do this with Stafford, too! Adult magazine photo shoot in Palm Springs and Quaver's best pal Min has a bit of a NSFW surprise. #WIPSnips

Fashion, darlings. NYE, 1983 #WIPSnips

Luke's been in London for a while and makes a visit to Sydney for a wedding. Quaver picked him up from the airport, a change of attire and... polyamory in sweet motion. #WIPSnips

I am so late with today's snippet... sorry I was up in the snowy Cairngorms earlier. Blake's 50th birthday... came with quite the present. #WIPSnips

The Amazon parcel delivered by Evri.. I looked in the two places Evri seem to deliver things to, thus completely ignoring my delivery instructions. Then it hit me the order of coursem has a tracking number. On there was proof of delivery... parcel wedged in a freaking recycling bin.

Quaver on her first world tour as a solo artist in 1991. #WIPSnips

Yes, I have had... vaginal thrush from HELL in that the usual treatment didn't work. Thanks, penicillin. I am not that amused the doctor who called me back today... is a Dr Stafford. I have not had this issue for quite a few years and have to pick up a script for strong meds later.

After some banter about past happenings, Quaver announces that one of her best pals, the fantastical Salamander is coming to visit... along with Severin, Stafford's brother. #WIPSnips

Well, the ANTM doco isn't revealing anything new. No one associated with the production is ever going to take responsibility for so much of the shit on that show. Sexual assault, sexual harassment. Photoshoots changing race, depicting dead people.

Anxiety as I looked at jobs this morning and... there is fuck all out there. I am not quite ready anyhow, still getting over this tooth extraction.

1997! I know exactly when this scene happens. Quaver had been off the social scene for a while and was ready to make a comeback. #WIPSnips

I am so unhappy at the moment. Just love my body for going 'fuck you' when I am supposed to start my job hunt this week. I will be ringing the dentists in the morning. While the pain isn't awful, it doesn't seem to be getting any better and my mouth still tastes like swamp.

Lol My monthly visitor is late for the second month in a row. No, I'm not pregnant. I haven't had sex for...a very long time.

Hey... this is going into NSFW territory 🙈 Stafford and Quaver got over their huff with one another... and Stafford knows he's a naughty boy. Love your dominant position, Quaver 🎩 #WIPSnips

This proper made me blush!

Manes of chocolate and marshmallows, curves forever. The bed was a ripe playground for two old lovers, a lot of kisses for their peachy bottoms. Sweet, sexy and an occasion that happens more than once a year. There's beauty in the ageing, passion in the eyes, lingering in the lips. #vss365

Early '90s... Seth is still using masculine pronouns. His daughter, Melody, called the house and Quaver answered. #WIPSnips

The song is a banger and makes me so proud to be a Kiwi 🇳🇿 youtu.be/wiqBlKnb91A?...

It's a rough town. Stinks of garbage, the neighbours are kicking off... a new lacuna has appear on one of the back blocks. This neighhood has seen a few demolitions over the years. But here, nothing will be replaced without of a lot of money. The mouth three days after a tooth extraction. #vss365

Quaver and Carly being all nostalgic about a wedding... Stafford's brother, Severin and the almighty Sally May Derbyshire, aka Salamander. #WIPSnips

Not going to lie, miserable today. Face is a little swollen, mouth tastes ugh, pain is okay, but I feel weak because I can eat very little. Housemate went on a road trip without me for obvious reasons. So I am alone with the cats, window watching for yet another parcel.

Fucking Amazon. Again used Evri to deliver a parcel...apparently delivered to a 'secure' location. What secure location? There was no notification it was out for delivery nor that it had been delivered so it has been out in the rain possibly all night. Absolute joke.

1986 and Quaver's been on the promo trail for her memoir. A big end of trail party in Wellington... and her anxiety goes sky high. #WIPSnips

Was looking at old job applications and emails from the last four times I was looking for work. Has anyone ever been recruited after being told someone else was better than them? I got turned down for McDonalds. Ghosting.... so much.

This has been the most awkward bus trip ever. Going home after 🦷 extraction and the excessive saliva is...insane. I just wanna get back into bed.

It is going to take me an hour and a half to get to the oral surgeon today. Driving would take forty minutes. But I can't drive, and only while living in Scotland have I really understood what a hindrance this is. So god knows how long it is going to take to get home afterwards. Bye 🦷

Justin's 48th birthday was... such a catalyst for a lot of things. Quaver overheard Justin, Stafford and Seth being somewhat philosophical the morning after. Post nut clarity? 😂 #WIPSnips

Sleep? Not when it is chucking it down outside and it is also windier than the forecast says. Tooth extraction today. Yikes.

Love it when I hit a home run with dinner. Two packs of garlic microwave rice. Fried them in a tiny bit of oil and a splash of soy sauce. In the air fryer went cubed beef that had also been marinating in soy sauce, frozen stir fry vege in the other. Mixed it all together and... 😍 fried rice 🤩

Well, I must be feeling a fuckton better than I did yesterday, judging by the somewhat naughty comments I have made over on Discord.

The private chat group for our Simpsons podcast Eat The Pudding is now open on Discord. If you'd like a bit more Simpsons in your life, drop me a DM and I'll send you an invitation to join.

When getting out of bed feels like a bit of a chore... body parts take their turn to ache. When the things you feared as a wean become a scary reality. Ageing... it's not fun. But then look at all the wisdom you have gained, the experiences that made you... you. Turning 45, need to... #vss365

It's Stafford 60th birthday. Do you think he's gonna stop having kinky sex in his twilight years? Hell no. #WIPSnips

Peaceful morning ruined by a neighbour screaming and yelling.

Today is a day I am grateful for the healthcare in Scotland. I went to the pharmacy expecting to pay £20 to treat a problem caused by my antibiotics... Nope, had a little consultation and five mins later, handed the treatment, no charge because it comes under the NHS Pharmacy First scheme.

1989 was the first time Luke spent a lot of time with Quaver. After impressing Quaver and her cousin, April, with his dance moves. He's keen to tag along on the next tour... as an emotional support of sorts! #WIPSnips

Musical notes running down the spine towards the tail bone. You saw this, you had Stafford alone. He was always my type, the dark hair, the intelligence... and such blue eyes you could train your gaze on. It was never just about how beautiful and sexy he was. A clever cookie, a vision. #vss365

Apparently some football match is on

Penicillin V tastes horrendous. No, I don't chew the tablets, but the brief moment they are in my mouth before I take a swig of water, the slightest contact of saliva with said tablets releases the most god awful taste. Plus they killed the good bugs too 😢 At least I know they're working?

"Sometimes... I feel pale and maybe boring when I go to award ceremonies. I'm just a girl from a seaside town in New Zealand... yet I get photos of me in the paper. I have met all four Beatles... how did I keep my composure next to freaking Paul? He's a star, not me!" #vss365

Whenever Salamander was in town, she and Quaver would gossip over cocktails. Stafford and Skye were expecting a baby of their own. #WIPSnips

Found this in my room. Turns out I took it to work once and the shopper bag I had it was banished to a cupboard. 🍏🍓🐙

When you have a face like a pancake with no butter, ice cream with no chocolate sauce... how society sees you as invisible because you are an older, overweight woman. The only time you get any positivity is with eyes framed in kohl and blood red lips. Fading into obscurity... #vss365

Social function talk turns to touring in Canada. Every time Loverisque hit the country, weird things would happen. Would such weirdness happen again? 🇨🇦 #WIPSnips

A little snow in the Highlands

The memories are rife in the mind, feeling as fresh as ever. Seeing your first boyfriend, your first love kiss someone else at the school social. Dressed up in your finest meringue of a dress, tears rain jet black down powdered cheeks. Feeling wicked and wounded...a little heart breaks. #vss365

After a photoshoot with Blake, Quaver invites him to look at all the somewhat naughty pictures of yore. This was right in the smack of Quaver and Stafford's mid-00s woes. #WIPSnips

Loverisque recording an album in Hawaii in 1987. Fun times? Well, for some maybe. #WIPSnips
