Yes. Give me a good reason why I had to watch my partner's coffin on a webcast?

This appeared on someone else's account but wasn't quotable. Ethel loves eternally all the mad layering beneath the top lines of the song. youtube.com/watch?v=IG_V...

Tusk slips the knife in right at the end.

The mark of a man lies in his ability to apologise. To say sorry and mean it.

Interesting selection.

"Hands up if you caused 23,000 extra deaths by being a dithering incompetent twat"

Good.

I cheated at the gym today. Held a handweight but only waved it about when I saw my instructor. Did some bicep curls though, out of vanity.

I'm going to attempt to change light bulbs tonight.😬

Tonight I have emptied 'half a ton of muck' as Ma used to say out of my car. I've dumped it on the garage forecourt ready for its mot n service and shoved the key through the letterbox. Tomorrow morning is cancelled, even if it's not cold.

The curtains in this hotel are quite impressive. I'm thinking The Sound of Music. Should have brought a needle and thread.

Pizza Express do nice vanilla ice cream. I'm going to have to confess this to my slimming group. Whoops.

Some awful google walking directions in my time but none worse or more incomprehensible than Derby train station to the cathedral. What on earth?! Anyway, eventually I got there. My leg got there too, though it has locked. After 50 minutes. But sod all that, I'll be in taxis this evening.😂

Just done a recce of a local car park which has some weird, over complicated permit system. Quite why East Cambs have done this is a mystery. But frankly it's a p.i.t.a.

So tired today. Yesterday was just too exciting, or maybe I was too excitable. Hardly slept. But my hip and knee are working quite well today, so I'm going in the gym to increase their mobility gently. I hope these cars start to shift soon, so the gym isn't crowded!

This needs to get a LOT of traction.

😊

A other day of awful news headlines. I shall seek refuge in a hardboiled egg sarnie on wholemeal- with Colmans.

Yum.

Ticketmaster have gone a bit nuts on the pre concert protocols. I wonder how many more I'll get this weekend just for the one concert.

Good afternoon. I slipped and fell in the kitchen last night so tonight I shall watch bits of Children in Need, as I sit slathered in Voltarol. Might need chocolate.

Sad.

I saw the film Palestine 36 today. I recommend it. I was always surprised by my father's anti zionism. He said a country based on violence couldn't succeed. Even more surprisingly he was interested and engaged when I went there, if not envious, just before he died, and funded another airfare.

Yes.

Just reading Elena Ferrante 'The Days of Abandonment.' The last seven books I've had from Ely library have all had pages with folds where the corners have been turned down, instead of using bookmarks. People, just use a receipt as a bookmark for goodness sake. It's not hard to do.

Oh.

No wonder Trumpton wants it disenabled.

Today is my birthday. An ex boyfriend from the 1970's popped in to see me on Sunday and accused me of being 70. I told him to f*** off 😂

Just used a Nespresso machine for the first time. The drink was every bit as awful as any other cup of Nescafe!😬

Do you really need a shower every day? Or clean clothes every day?

I expect I'll sleep tonight.😂

I like celeriac.

Cutting but apt.

Oh yes.

I'm now stuck, backed up in Waitrose car park while a small, strategically placed temporary traffic light holds up a small city.

The dysregulated immune system in #LongCovid with #MECFS. with sex-specific changes, increased inflammation (as seen by cells, chemokines and cytokines), and disrupted hormone levels www.cell.com/cell-reports...

I must admit, standard patter or not, when my gym instructor tells me he's proud of me my spirits do perk up. Today's advice is 'Never mind your weight. Measure yourself and see the difference.'

Depends. If it's with fish, partake. If a saveloy, Collins English mustard. I am my own minority, but I kinda know that already.

Why are people moaning about having to switch off Question Time because X or Y is so unbearable to listen to? Why are they even bothering to watch it any more?!

I knew my car in March car park straightaway. One of the few that hadn't reversed into the space. Memories of my then father in law teaching me to drive.😊

Ha ha!

Had my haircut. Lost some length but I'm all graduated, blended layers this afternoon thank you very much.

And if you are in March at the moment, you can pop into Costa and enjoy the company of a huge, big, fluffy St Bernard/Newfoundland type of giant doggy. In there with its Dad. Always lovely to spot dogs in cafes.

BBC News bulletins leading on the story of an Algerian man being mistakenly released by the prison service. Funnily enough I don't remember these cases ever leading the bulletins when an average of ten prisoners were mistakenly released a month in the final year of the last Government

It's also too bleedin' expensive.

Two full strength americanos today and I'm assuming I'll still be dancing on the ceiling at 3am.

We never had a John Lewis in Carlisle. One of my preconditions when I moved south was that the town would have one. I'd have been sitting yelling 'Bainbridges' at my parents but they wouldn't have clicked.

Almost that time of the year when I am unsure whether to give money to the local food bank, or food and groceries? I've asked them this time. It matters.

It so riles me when commentators put an 'e' in the middle of English/Welsh (court) judgments, and can't be bothered to spell correctly. Folks- there isn't one. If you can't spell it, don't purport to comment on it.
