In a right old mood. Fed up of the news. Fed up of the grey winter. Fed up of the bullying of the BBC. Fed up of waiting for payday.

Whilst some of us are on the ropes….

I like the Carry On films but the lore is too confusing, impossible for modern audiences to accept these people could play a major part in the French Revolution AND lose their bras on camping holidays

Dublin graffiti. “One honest conversation can change everything.“ Mind you, a dishonest conversation can to do the same.

Excellent evening walk from Marylebone to Aldwych. Extra special being with @julieo25.bsky.social pointing out her numerous family landmarks in Covent Garden.

Albrecht Dürer - Praying Hands 1508 (Albertina)

Dog lovers. Can anyone identify this breed of dog? I need it for a writing project. Many thanks

Had a lovely dinner with landlords and neighbours last night. The most perfect beef wellington I’ve ever eaten and neighbour brought round some incredible Bordeaux. Felt like a v lucky interloper.

I want this more than life.

BBC really burying the lede there

Lunch is green chilli cheese on toast And a pot of black coffee. Loosely inspired by @pauljwhite.bsky.social lunch yesterday.

Comrades, what apps are you using for your to do lists? I’ve been using ToDoist for years but it’s going up from £5 a month to £7 and I think I need to draw a line

How lovely is this? An outdoor gallery of old shop signs that we stumbled across in Vienna a while back. More info on the Stadtschrift's displays here www.stadtschrift.at

What’s everyone having for dinner? I’m making a v quick carrot dal, having with posh oven chips and garlicky broccoli. Chopped mango and apple for afters. Insomnia is biting lumps out of me so I need all the nutrition I can get.

What’s everyone having for dinner? I’ve defrosted the pork chilli I rejected when I was poorly. Hoping it’s actually decent. Having with avo, quick red onion + carrot pickle and tortilla chips. No booze. Ice cream stick for afters.

The glare of my bathroom mirror reveals that I look like a raggedy hen.

Please. I'm very hungry.

Traitors fans! This is genuinely funny. Wish I worked in an office that would do this. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Do I know any ST holders for Celtic ? Need to buy 2 tickets for the St Mirren game 14 Dec.

Silently weeping as I have to wash my hair tonight.

You don’t get a body like mine by sitting around on the couch. You also have to eat tons of junk food.

Just discovered Evil Or Genius on BBC Sounds and what a crazy list of subjects they have. First one I heard was on Kim Philby, fair enough discussion. But Billie Holiday? What‘s she ever done?

Second visit to Dumplings Legend in as many weeks coming up. Tempted to just order 87 rounds of soup dumplings.

It’s the weekend!!

SECURITY QUESTION: What was the last name of your first grade teacher? MY FIRST GRADE TEACHER HACKING MY BANK ACCOUNT: I'm in

What’s everyone having for dinner? I’m being v basic and having a sort-of-puttanesca with tuna. Heavy on the chilli flakes. No booze.

Can recommend cheese on toast ad an excellent wfh lunch.

Worst episode of the traitors so far.

Some years ago at Halloween I met our neighbour Jerry Dammers out trick or treating with a gaggle of children dressed as ghouls. I resisted the temptation to say ‘This town is coming like a ghost town’ because he was probably fed up of hearing it quoted to him every 31st October.

In a massive win for everyone the morning after pill is now free and without prescription in England. As we slide backwards to the darker times it’s nice to have some positive news. 🫶 www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Ravenous and still 30 mins from home. 😖😖😖

All the lyrics to 'Rasputin' are funny but I love 'it was a shame how he carried on'. It sounds like something your gran would say about a disgraced quiz-show host.

Just booked a flight to Malaga in January for 40 quid. First dark evening yesterday had me running to Dr Internet.

Ooh. I’m not a telly nostalgist but this I’m def going to rewatch. Haven’t seen it since first broadcast and really hope it’s as good as my memories.

I’ve just been to the world’s worst planetarium. One star.

The trick 'r treaters are getting something special this year.

It’s much colder than I can possibly enjoy.

I’m going to Soho for a couple of beers and then to Chinatown for (maybe) dumplings and (definitely) noodles. First time I’ve gone further than my closest shops in a week.

This looks like a bandaged head.

Everything But The Girl just on the radio and sharp flashback to when my sister made everyone hate her by playing THAT album ad nauseum. Her then boyfriend pulled the cassette out of the car player, pulled all tape out and threw the whole tangled mess out of the window.

My last repost on language around migration really hit home for me. It’s in a US context but principles apply here too. They are both outstandingly clear and right, wish we had more of this pushback on shit and compliant journalism.

“We don’t have illegal aliens… the legal term for my people were slaves….” 🚨This is what leadership looks and sounds like in 2025.✊🏼

Sun is out. I’m feeling improved. I think this calls for putting my trainers on and buying something sweet.

What’s everyone having for dinner? i stalked @hassinator.bsky.social posts and copied his spicy buttermilk marinade for baked chicken wings. Zingy Asian slaw on the side. Might do some sort of Thai dipping sauce. First real appetite since Saturday!

Just seen the news about Strictly. Really wish the BBC would retire the whole show and develop something new.

Penne all the live long day. Gnocchi can put itself in the bin too. Would never buy fusilli either, unless in a post-apocalyptic hellscape.
