Watching the second Dear England episode and feeling very anxious about the penalties in the Italy match even though I remember what happened.

This morning, two male friends were arguing on FB Messenger about the band Faithless, then I turned on the radio and Radcliffe & Maconie were arguing about Mark shaving a women's head in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. This is what happens when the footy season finishes.

Are we sure that Sepp Kuss is actually American? When he won a mountain stage yesterday, he thanked Jonas, who had *not* led him up the Cima Coppi. Luv you, Seppie. Also thanks for the 520 points on @velogames.bsky.social.

Jeez, he grew a beard is all.

I got the following. AI-enshittification aside, it's interesting that on the thread of @jonnelledge.bsky.social's post, different people get different results. Is that based on previous google searches, previous interaction with gemini, or just randomness?

Maybe women just make more effort www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Quelle surprise 1 and quelle surprise 2:

Thanks to all the Mildmay drivers who haven't bothered to turn up today, meaning "minor" delays, meaning 4 trains in a row have been cancelled, meaning 35 minute wait, meaning the Aircon is meaningless due to over-crowding. Hope you're having a great day and not trying to travel anywhere.

Really great that because some Americans didn’t like paying $4 for eggs, they voted in a maniac and now some people won’t be able to heat their homes this winter. Thanks for passing the buck(s), yanks.

The Strait of Hormuz will not be opened 'til Trump has got his ballroom.

trying to use AI to plan my day more efficiently but you need to have "things" that you "do"

Me thinking about going into my aircon-free office tomorrow.

Swear bear.

Need to point out to the men encouraging me that this was a joke based on it being 34°C in that London.

Thinking about becoming a naturist.

The council has pollarded the plane trees, which is good for those with sycamore pollen hayfever (moi) but bad for providing any kind of shade on the way down to the station.

Have the "It was hotter in 1976!" guys started up yet?

I'm assuming that Dame Lucy wearing red in every scene of this is not a chance occurrence.

Megan is a milkshake - duck! My Monday evening #Corrie ep review: coronationstreetupdates.blogspot.com/2026/05/coro...

Thinking about how much my cat (who died in April) would've hated this weather and how i would have wrapped a freezer block in a tea towel for her and she'd've ignored it.

Happy 50th to my future second husband:

This is a great essay: www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Been walking up and down the freezer aisle in Lidl, as a treat.

NORMALISE PARASOLS

I keep seeing Trader Joe bags everywhere even tho TJs does not operate in the UK. Is everyone in the US going around with M&S bags for life?

Just seen someone wearing jorts...over a pair of jeans.

Is there also a sit in complete silence cabin, or....

Thoughts and prayers to anyone on the Central line.

I am in the @theguardian.com Guide readers' feedback section today, complaining about people, as is my right as a middle aged woman.

Two weeks into a new regime at LB Hackney and I'm having to chase the invoice for my workplace being transfomed into a polling station. Come on Greens, pay yr bills.

As much as I'm looking forward to leaving the house without an emergency jumper, the second BH of May is traditionally when my hayfever starts, so I'm a bit trepidatious of the incoming heatwave.

Winning the league is probably the worst thing that could happen to arsenal fans. They always seem happier when they come 7th are railing against everyone and everything.

Watching The Testament of Ann Lee and whilst I love Seyfried, I can only assume that she went to the same accent coach as Daphne from Frasier.

"Can't stand people who say skill-set". It's a Jonathan Harvey episode, for which we can all be grateful. My #Corrie ep review: coronationstreetupdates.blogspot.com/2026/05/coro...

It's very confusing to me that Eataly, an American company, is big in Italy. Surely Italy is big in Italy?

This means nothing to me #Eurovision

Oh, Vienna #Eurovision

non mi piace #Eurovision

Netto Kneecap #Eurovision

Will I get killed if I see this is better than Sam Ryder #Eurovision

BUNGA BUNGA #Eurovision

I'd be too scared to go to Belgrade's premier goth club, however. #Eurovision

I know we're not allowed to be mean about Ukraine, but this is tedious. #eurovision

Hello! Albania? Madonna wants her song back #Eurovision

Copenhagen's premier goth night is missing some regulars this Saturday #eurovision

Not sure what's more irritating : M&S trying to trademark "picky bits" or Waitrose insisting that the '80s are where it's at with their "Rivals" tie-in snax.

It's not that I'm glad that Reform won a load of council seats, but I'm enjoying the occasional hits of schadenfreude www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

48, although some are on my TR list.

It's my birthday, so I'm treating myself to a pedicure*. * Clipping my toenails over the bath.
