Online sales for Everyday Normal at St Brides Church tonight in Liverpool close at 7pm. However there will be tickets at the door so do come down. . . and it will be great to see you. vimeo.com/1120442639/1...

Thing I was about to post made me sound like such a twat, I hit Cancel instead. This happens way, way too often. I don't know if that signifies deeper self-awareness or merely increasing levels of twattitute.

Anyone else feel as if this evening has been going on foreverrrr?

After a couple of troublesome days I was beginning to think my oven had gone haywire, but investigations after another acrid cooking session revealed a trio of cremated falafels hiding on a small baking tray at the back. I blame Mr D for tidying them away instead of eating them.

Sensible, children! My little tribute to a few public information films from the late 70s and 1980s. You can dance if you want to....

You thought you were having a shit day…

🚨This is an emergency🚨 This Government is currently sitting on an EHRC Code of Practice that will lead to the segregation and exclusion of trans people in public life. Use our tool to email your MP: tinyurl.com/scrap-the-bathroom-ban @transsolidarity.bsky.social #ScrapTheBathroomBan

Mr D and I are sitting quietly and wholesomely, respectively finishing a jigsaw and starting another book. We can't be this old already, I think, as I get up to refill my hot water bottle.

Went out for my afternoon constitutional. 40 minutes later I returned to discover there'd been an explosion of a Lidl chilli beef ready meal. The sparkling cleanliness of that corner of the kitchen from Mr D's attempt to hide the evidence was the giveaway.

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia. I disagree. RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

We found that the UK’s top scientific institutions, from the Met Office to the UK Health Security Agency, have inadequate institutional defences. If an incoming government wanted to weaken the role of science and evidence in policy making, it could do so shockingly fast. 2/11

Sound on

Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚 #amindofmyown

@keanesongspot.bsky.social DD reports hearing SOWK in an Exeter pub. She was with new-ish colleagues, so I don't believe she stood up to sing along and wave her arms the way any right minded person should.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Mr D is on a journey of culinary rediscovery, and is going through a fad of eating Fray Bentos pies. I haven't had one since the late 70s, but I do like the serving suggestion on the tin lid, which instructs the consumer to eat it with a fork.

Why in the name of fuck are the police effectively sanctioning and facilitating this? Is there another angle?

Nearly had a heart attack seeing an NHS message notification pop up on my phone less than 24 hours after a bunch of routine bloods. Catastrophise, me? Message was Please complete our patient satisfaction survey. Okay, 1: stop trying to kill me, and 2: just put it in a bloody text message.

This will be great if she's speaking anywhere near you. Or even if she's not. But go, if you can. Sarah is fab; an intelligent, measured speaker with a wealth of experience.

Never mind the bullocks, here's the vexillophiles.

The Production Company have been in touch with me to say that they would very much welcome any contributions from the LGBTQ+ Community. If you may have an item do get in touch with them! Please do share with your own connections. #RepairShop

Absolutely no idea how this has happened, but there seems to be an unholy amount of vodka in my bloodstream. And other stuff. I dunno.

Looking at tonight's TV guide reminded me that the new series of All Creatures Great and Small started on Thursday. Thought it would be a public service to post a reminder here in case there are any other dozy buggers about who would hate to miss it.

Got it in 3 due to the recklessness of drink, but WTF does today's Wordle mean?

Salon called to change my hair appointment to another time and stylist because of my 'client profile' (too much hair), and now it's almost time to go I feel the kind of fear only appropriate for someone about to undergo minor surgery. Ridiculous woman.

I just saw these mysterious circles of light above Cardiff tonight (24th September). Does anyone know what they are? There were no obvious light beams from the ground. They travelled in a circle and sometimes seemed to pass each other. #MysteriousLights #LightsoverCardiff youtu.be/0CSI7w3Bnx0?...

What the cunting bastardy fuck are you wanking on about, you arsing shithead?

Mr D is far too reckless to take food shopping. Just had to down the best part of a bottle of sparkling Shiraz he saw & had to try. He never drinks red wine. I only drink fizzy wine if someone forces it into my hand. Neither of us enjoyed it, but only I was prepared to go the distance. What a woman.

I just signed the petition calling for the Green Party to refuse to platform organisations that want to undermine trans rights at official Party events. Will you join me? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

For those who pay attention to UK politics, the Liberal Democrats and #LDConf A bunch of TERFs tried first thing this morning to impose a transphobic policy on our internal elections (they wanted to exclude trans women from the gender balance criteria) They failed, spectacularly.

It's unreasonable of me to be irritated by Mr D eating up the Aldi Pringles, I know, but the fact is that his hand doesn't fit into the tube, and tipping them out leaves the remainder in disarray. Reared by wolves, I tell you.

Me saying 'Oh, that's a pain in the arse', all casual like, to disguise my true headless chicken disaster mode response, which wouldn't help matters, but would I suppose actually look as if I gave a fuck. Fuck me, life is complicated.

Impulse internet buying cut to zero because I got a new bank card and I don't know the long number by heart anymore, and it's too much of a faff to get up and look at the new one.

Excellent! 😹

What is it on BBC News, Publicity for Arseholes Day? Showing now: touts, and which ones to buy from. And coming up: we'll be interviewing some right wing cunts about why they love Tommy Robinson.

I think I am done with adulting now. Practically went into a dead faint at the sight of 3 scary looking envelopes in the post, not really mitigated by the contents being much less scary than the outsides. What's nice and calming? Nobody say any kind of tea.

7:30pm, two cocktails down, and I'm giving the very nice middle class couple at the next table my views on the folly of zero alcohol 'spirits'. Luckily they weren't drinking any of that pish. It's a good thing I don't get out much.

timeline cleanse: franky watches the garbage truck pick up the trash this morning

Abstained last night to be sure of getting up in time to drive to Bath this morning. Absolutely knackered tonight, but doggedly necking red wine as if it's an actual task I must complete before I sleep.

Weather forecast suggests a minimum 80% chance of rain every hour until early evening. Mr D chucked down some grass seeds to beef up the lawn a bit. Forecast has now changed to a 95% chance of sunny spells, with pigeons.

This is not some kumbaya “go high” shit. It’s me telling you when I’ve had a gun pointed at me—literally, not figuratively—it wasn’t the time to posture. Fascism’s guns are at the ready. Think before you spout off. Winning the struggle against fascism is what matters.

You have got to be fricken kidding me. Even those knuckle dragging flag shaggers aren't this stupid. No, wait. I honestly thought this had to be fake. It's not.

I thought he looked like a tit, but that's my own inherent bias. Still didn't want to see him on the fucking news.

Bedtime. Let's soothe ourselves with a look at the local Reform fans on FB. Self-harm, moi? Anyway. One of them met 30p Lee at the conference, and they agree old 'lea' is a proper down to earth, non ivory tower university kind of bloke. So I guess they're right about something.

Did they just call Linehan Gary on the ten o'clock news? Cunt's coming up as a story later. FFS. Farage has already been on the telly tonight. Isn't there a legal limit on how many cunts are allowed on-screen in a single evening?
