Have had to have 4 injections in rump.

Remind me to take a paracetamol because my arm is sore from my COVID vaccination. LIVING LIFE ON THE EDGE HERE.

Tylenol is the only pain reliever deemed safe for pregnant women. So if you look at it through the lens of "what can we do to make women suffer?" it makes perfect sense.

Went to Boots for my COVID vaccination today. Wonder what percentage of the population are going to pay for it. £98.95. If you can't afford it, you probably won't get it.

Me on the way to the rapture.

The local coffee shop stopped giving out loyalty stamps if you don't buy coffee but do buy other hot drinks. I think this is very unreasonable given I don't like coffee. I got my own coffee bean stamp and stamp my own card after each visit & claim a free hot chocolate when filled

Best advice I never took was when I was 30 and on a massive career fast-track: You cannot cuddle with your career on a lonely night when your life is on the decline. Invest as much time on love and family. Sounded twee then. At 62 and near retirement, I now know it's 100% true.

Took my daughter to the bank to open her own Junior account so she can learn about responsible money management. The nice banking lady asked her to spell her name because it has different spellings. "A for Apple," she said, followed by "B for Bollocks". Mortified.

As a kid my parents would give me a Liquorice Allsorts when I hurt myself. I'm 37 now and still a clumsy fuck. I buy my own but still manage to eat almost a whole 350g sharing bag of Liquorice Allsorts every week from bumping into doors or falling over.

Judging by the behaviour of the #catpest, the fly that has been annoying me in the kitchen for the last 48 hours has made it into the sitting-room.

DONE ME BINS! I SAY, I'VE DONE. ME. BINS. #BadHousekeeping

Anyone lost this on the way up to Great Mis? #Dartmoor

Yet another of Hookland's infamous knockers. This one at 14 Pope Joan Street in Ashcourt is apparently possessed by a mind or a spirit of its own. In the summer of 1976, BBC Nationwide's cameras caught it briefly rapping on the door without any obvious human interaction.

Apology NOT accepted.

The Emperor endorses Crafty Cow Cat Sofas.

Things that annoy me no end number 475: when I’m first in a queue and a random bloke comes and edges in front of me and then makes a big deal of saying ‘after you’. Reader, I made him get on the bus in front of me.

To anyone who needs it today: credit your translator. A good translator's skills are at least as important as those of the original creator. Imagine if someone were to build a life sized replica of the Eiffel Tower out of matchsticks, you wouldn't just credit Gustave Eiffel - would you?

What I’m wearing to the rapture

Genuinely pains me to say so, but at great cost to my personal brand I will admit that I agree that most English people have not gone insane over the past decade, but that English media and political parties absolutely have. A great number of English people remain decent and, crucially, normal!

Honey Cake with Dates and Apples is #RecipeOfTheDay! www.nigella.com/recipes/hone...

Failure to launch this morning. Chilly and I’m tired and friend has gone home so there is #BadHousekeeping to be done.

@andgirlhere.bsky.social I have just discovered that you can watch The Great British Sewing Bee in the US, if you’re interested. It’s on Roku.

It is Hookland. There is no ‘spooky season’. Spooky is the county’s default setting because it is the English gothic, the English strange. The weird is not a costume to be warn only once a year.

Have just put my winter duvet on. Summer is over.

It was having to do someone else's washing up in order to cook anything that got to me. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Ah, September. The time of year when women with long hair find it necessary to nip to the ladies' to excavate moulted hairs from the depths of their cleavages. #IYKYK.

Britain Recognises Palestine 🇵🇸 as a country... I'm crying 😢 😭 🤧

#SundayPixRailway Glenfinnan viaduct with what possibly could be the Hogwart's Express. The driver of the steam-train actually waved to us.

My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.com

Have just blocked a Random Innuendo Poster. I can overlook a gratuitous unfunny smutty comment once, but not twice.

Fastidious Friend has gone home. I've eaten so much this weekend, think I'll finish it off with some chocolate.

The tube station to end them all. #SundayPixRailway

#SundayPixRailway The line through Dawlish.

And this morning the Shed is a cavern, concealed behind a rushing waterfall; with curtains of rain, and hangings of fern, and music from the water....

There's a door in our house that if you push the correct floorboard, the door near the cellar flings open, When my kids are being naughty I say Lesley is coming and she's mad, then I press the floorboard. Cue the screams.

This is a good thing to do. I was on the Anthony Nolan register for donkey’s years but am now too old. They never needed me. You might be more useful.
