No shade to Tom but I think these look like a better couple.

Love today’s Wordle word. I use it a lot.

Shoutout to the woman who walked into a packed Superdrug and shouted ‘CHRIST, WHAT NOW???’ at the lock screen of her ringing phone, before calmly answering it.

She’s up! 🎄

Came home to find this. No name/tracking number. You’re thinking ‘It’s their busiest time of year, they don’t have time to write a tracking number.’ But they’re going to take the time to redeliver on Monday and again no one will be in. We can’t rearrange because we don’t have the tracking number.

It’s funny seeing The Village People at this international spectacle because they regularly play Butlins.

I just found an Orange Twirl in my work bag that had been in there so long it had turned to rubble. Didn’t stop me getting stuck in with a spoon though.

Final Parent’s Evening last night - the head of 6th form said ‘Thank you for raising such a hard working young woman.’ And all I could think was me in the 6th form common room ‘89 to ‘91, hanging out the windows smoking, listening to Chuck Berry and painting my nails. Not a chip off the ol’ block.

It’s dark and pissing down, and I have to go food shopping.

Truss: ‘The Deep State tried to destroy me’ The Deep State:

Final ever parents evening tonight.

Heat 2: Scorching Boogaloo.

When I was a kid wearing hand-me-downs from my cousin, I never imagined I’d have a different type of milk in the fridge for different hot drinks (coconut for chai, almond for rooibos, semi skimmed for hot chocolate). I’m embarrassed at what an arsehole I’ve become.

@sharona.bsky.social Thank you for mentioning Bookish the other day. Hadn’t heard of it but it’s right up my street and just what I need at the minute. Proper ‘hunkering down’ telly!

I should go to the gym but I’ve just wrapped some presents and now there’s a tv programme on about people who makes miniatures and I’m really cosy.

Timeline synchronicity:

Booked today off work for no reason, so while the rain batters down and the other occupants of this house head out for work/school, I’m lying in bed with a cuppa and my kindle.

@theblueststar.bsky.social 720 eggs.

Hard agree with this. At work this summer I said my daughter was going to a festival - everyone told me not to worry as I could track her at all times. When I said I’d never tracked her location, they were shocked. I trust my child to be where she says she is, with the ability to look after herself.

There’s an ad on Sky Sports for BetFred, and it features a Mancunian bloke arguing with his mate, and I’m sure it’s someone who used to be a tv presenter. Mike something, maybe? Kind of like a Tim Lovejoy-type ‘lad’ presenter in the 90s? Help me out, it’s driving me mad.

Introduce yourself with 5 things you don’t give: A fuck A rat’s arse A shiny shit Etc….

My daughter’s opinion on the terrible de-aging effects used for a Will Byers flashback scene in Stranger Things 5: ‘He looks like he’s off on the Polar Express.’

Post something random or you’ll have an awful December.

Watching Stranger Things 5, but showing my Britishness by giving David Harbour the thumbs down every time he comes on screen.

I’m not saying I’m easily amused, but 3 hours ago my daughter randomly sang ‘Touch Me’ by The Doors in a mockney accent, and I’m still laughing.

Finished The Beast in Me last night. If you manage your expectations and are not fooled by the funky titles and brilliant soundtrack into thinking it’s anything more than a tawdry thriller, you’ll enjoy it. It’s ridiculous, but the best ones are.

You rang?

Big news at the doctor’s surgery - they now issue wide, shallow pots for collecting your stool sample which you then ‘decant’ into the narrow sample tube before handing in. This makes my usual method of ‘Andrex hammock’ redundant. Yes, you saw Andrex Hammock at Glasto ‘97 etc.

In close-but-not-quite news, I bought myself some new Mary Jane shoes and Steve said: ‘Ooh, you got yourself some Aunty Sallys’.

Bloke on Pointless just said ‘I live with my wife and our cat Sgt Pepper. I’m a Beatles fan.’ Thanks for clarifying.

“You’ll be visited by three spirits.” The three spirits:

Post a movie where you’re from.

Bit of sympathy for those of us living with a Wednesday fan when they lose 3 nil to United at home. #steelcityderby

🎶Meeeeee-e aaa-and Mrs, Mrs Jones… 🎶

G’wan Shaky!

Tuuuuuunnnnne!

Ultravox on the telly doing Vienna. Saw them a few years back, but all I could think of was Vic Reeves singing this in a club stylee and I cried laughing all the way through.

I’m watching Kim Wilde at the BBC and have absolutely no recollection of her still having hits in the 90s. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Had a lovely lie in, saw The Running Man at the flicks, now having a pint. Excellent Saturday. Cheers.

I’ve come to bed in a huff because this Nick Drake programme is people singing Nick Drake and not actual Nick Drake.

My daughter has never seen an actual MJ video before and she’s absolutely flabbergasted. She is *crying* laughing. #TOTP

Daughter’s just told me her history teacher said he liked Michael Jackson and one kid said ‘Yeah, Black or White!’ and he replied ‘Well, when he was younger…’ 😂

My favourite Soft Cell song. #TOTP

Ladies Night, eh, lads? #TOTP

Cliff again. #TOTP

We all love a bit of George, don’t we. My timeline is full of it. 🩷 #TOTP

Billie must be sick of this song because I know I am. #TOTP

When the potato masher stops the kitchen drawer from opening #TOTP

Natalie Imbruglia. Hair goals. #TOTP
