RIP Patricia Routledge. Have a bit of Kitty and remember how brilliant she was. youtu.be/T-iDlTBZhKg?...

Wind’s hammering my letterbox again. #notaeuphemism

2nd October and I’m sat in a T-shirt with all the windows open.

Every time I’m separated from my family by a window, I bang on it dramatically and shout ‘Mrs Bouvier!!!!’

What this lad has done isn’t funny, obviously. But what is funny is that they’ve made him pose, pointing at the drugs.

Treated myself to a cute little Swatch.

@mysteriosox.bsky.social Be still my beating heart.

Having to watch the Ryder Cup with the sound down.

There was a good looking chap sat opposite me on the train tonight. He picked his nose from St Pancras to Wellingborough.

Task is brilliant, isn’t it? Usually the viewer is one step ahead of the protagonist in terms of plot reveal. But Task keeps the viewer in the dark and reveals the story (and backstory) bit by bit. I’m loving it.

Me and @mysteriosox.bsky.social in the DMs having a gossip.

The replies to this are great. I know it’s easy to fall out of love with the UK, given the shitty state of politics. But there’s much to love. Sorry if that sounds all rose-tinted - I understand life is hard for many. But have a gander at the replies and pop on your union flag dress.

This is such great news. Lost an uncle to HD, hopefully this breakthrough comes in time for his sons. Isn’t science BRILLIANT???

I did this test and it said I was more Gloria from Modern Family which is funny because my daughter calls me Gloria from Modern Family (this is not to do with physical appearance - if only!).

Has anyone done a joke about Dickie Bird having a good innings? 🏏

Oliver Bonas, Cowshed shower gel, my Mulberry handbag, Matthew Bourne, extra-marital sex. I made one of these up.

Absolutely this. My godson is 19. He is autistic and learning disabled. He needs full time care which severely impacts the lives of his parents/sibling. And my friend once said ‘I wouldn’t change a thing because the joy he experiences/gives cannot be measured.’

It’s days like this I wish Victoria Wood was still alive.

@loudbasket.bsky.social Aldi Bubbly range. No bubbly balls, alas.

It’s true.

Finished my rewatch of the Joan Hickson Marples this afternoon. Was wondering what to do with my Sunday afternoons from now on, then realised I could stream Poirot from the beginning. On ITV X though.

Checking myself into The Priory* due to my addiction to these: Is The Priory still a thing? I haven’t updated my cultural references for 25 years.

What movie do you consider ‘perfect’?

@theblueststar.bsky.social Daughter repping Snoopy at Hammersmith Apollo tonight.

Let’s go!

In the excitement of my daughter passing her driving theory test, I forgot to launch my new hair.

Daughter passed her driving theory test this evening. She’s only had 4 lessons so that’s good, isn’t it?

Seeing lots of young girls doing tutorials for ‘90s make up’ but if it ain’t like this, it ain’t 90s:

PSA for make-up wearers: I’ve stopped wearing foundation on a daily basis (after 40 years) and started wearing this tinted moisturiser instead. It’s ace.

The ‘simple admin error’ is that his PASSPORT HAD EXPIRED.

Made this tonight and it was lush. www.delish.com/cooking/reci...

Five pleasures in life: A freshly laundered bed Getting your trotters ready for wearing sandals for the first time in the year Christmas Eve after all the jobs are done A rainy Saturday with nowhere to be The first swipe of a new lipstick

Right, what we starting our Redford rewatches with? I’m going with The Way We Were, followed by The Old Man and the Gun.

Ah, man. I loved this guy. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c0...

Just spent the very small window of opportunity I had to eat lunch chasing my bin and its contents down the street.

Anyway, in ‘something to look forward to’ news - I’m taking my daughter to see Lord Huron on Friday and I’ve just found out Pillow Queens are supporting!

After 2 years of not using it, finally deleted my X account. It’s not Twitter, and it’ll never be Twitter again, so no point hanging onto it really. This is not meant as a self righteous post btw - it was just no longer for me.

Sat in the car waiting for daughter to come out of work. Engine off. Car just started itself.

Young Jake Wood in this week’s #Marple, having a right good scrap as though in rehearsal for Albert Square.

Ah, man. I don’t think anyone’s ever been cooler than Rog at this moment. #TheProms

Having taken 2 years to grow my hair from a pixie cut to past my shoulders, I’ve decided to get it cut into a bob. Perusing for inspiration and every other bloody picture is AI generated. (This is looking on specific sites not a general Google search). Gahhhhh!

My daughter (17) has just told me that the ‘crush du jour’ among her and her peer group is 47 year old Andy Samberg. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bastards.

How do you answer your phone?

How about the time I told a bloke in a taxi queue in Kettering at 2am that he couldn’t push in, and he called me a slag so I chinned him and he fell backwards into a bus shelter and dropped his kebab?
