Anyone want tea? It's buttered crumpets. You're making it, btw.

There are fornicating sparrows in my neighbour's shubbery.

Slept for 4.5 hours last night. Not feeling very bright today. Have been to Dunelm and back, two buses each way, very smooth, good bus changes, did it in only a couple of hours. Dunelm is like 'Are you being served' with extra plastic. Not a fan.

Powerful oped, not just about public health but the state of our democracies: "That’s real progress. Not GDP going up 0.1% or Rachel Reeves forecasting an extra couple of billion in fiscal headroom – but whether you live or die, are well or sick" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The intro is also damning about our media ecosystem and its complicity in the death of democracy (or anything vaguely resembling it)

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

from today's popbitch, a lesson in how to politely remove any dignity from any of these asshats you might encounter. love this. imagine the joy of "and how do you spell Cameron?" and still getting it wrong. no managers can tell you off, is the joy of it

It has just taken me three (3) hours and ten minutes to travel a distance of about nine miles by bus. I could literally have walked it in the time had it not been dark (the last hour) and along busy roads without footpaths. Thank you for nothing #StagecoachSouthwest

Cat, an animal that, when called, sits down and stares at you in an interested fashion as if you’re a new species. #catpest #cats

The paperback of VIANNE comes out on March 6th. And doesn't it look terrific?

I've just ordered five sacks of compost/manure for the garden from B&Q. Evri are delivering it and they've sent me a separate email for EACH sackful. I cannot wait to get five emails at each stage of the journey for this stuff.

Happy #WorldBookDay2026. The French writer and philosopher Voltaire once said 'Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.' 📚 He also drank up to 50 cups of coffee a day, often mixed with chocolate. I think we're onboard with this.

Have a tradie coming round to give me an estimate for painting my bathroom so of course I've spent the morning cleaning the house from top to bottom cos he's local and I don't want him telling people I live in a shitpit. #BadHousekeeping

JUST HAD TWO MUFFINS 4 SQUARES OF CHOCOLATE AND A DROP OF CHERRYADE. THE CRAB BASKETS ARE OUT, MIGHT BE LUCKY, CHURCH BELLS WERE RING IN TOWN PERHAPS THEY WERE FOR ME.

I swopped the controllers for the two electric blankets in the guest bedroom just before my parents-in-law visited. She got cold, turned up her controller, which heated HIS side, then he got hot and turned his down. Vicious loop ensued. They slept poorly. Victory is mine.

Pay attention to the verbs. Pay attention to who gets named. Pay attention to who “says” and who “did.” That’s how perception is shaped - not with blatant lies, but with careful framing.

I'm trying to persuade the #catpest to go out of the back door for his nightly perambulations, mainly because he can come in through the cat flap on his own, without my having to get up and let him in again. This is going about as well as you'd expect, cos he's a cat.

@thomasashman64.bsky.social You hadn't blocked the bsky moderation service, had you? I've just boosted a post about this.

Just got this email and didn’t even know I had @moderation.bsky.app blocked but now I don’t lol. But I guess permanent suspension is happening if people block? Yikes. Looks legit too? Just started my day and wasn’t anticipating this

If you want to know which is your favourite type of nut, buy a mixed bag and see which ones you fish out and eat first. Brazils, since you ask.

Cooked spaghetti and defrosted puttanesca to go with it only it turned it out was pork steak in paprika sauce but ANYWAY, the combo was surprisingly good and FYI, Spar bog standard spaghetti is very very good. Also drank the two cocktails I bought from M&S yesterday so feeling no pain at all.

Saved myself £30 by checking whether or not I need more cat fud. I do not.

General feeling of knackeredness hitting #SneezyTowers. Three days running I've been up and dressed by 8.00, yesterday I was out of the house for 14 hours too. I'm allowing myself to sleep in tomorrow.

Thought I saw my mother in the distance in the shopping centre and started waving frantically at her. Fucking mirror.

The witch knows that places weave themselves into her story with the dance of their shadows, the singing of their songs. She becomes aware this process is bidirectional. The witch walks the wood and it remembers her footfall, every conversation with its spirits. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

The guy opposite me has eaten various smelly food items during the journey. He’s just sneezed wetly into his hand and put the hand on the table. I feel quaite queasy.

I bought smoked salmon sarnies and cocktails for the journey home and the carriage is so full I feel too self conscious to consume them.

Good. Cunt. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I knew there was a lot of #flooding but I’m surprised at the extent of what is still there, since it’s been dry ish for ten days now.
