RIP Dame Patricia Routledge. From Kitty to Hyacinth, and Hetty, she was a tv staple of my youth. A fantastic actress, a singer too - the greats of my youth are passing but their impact lives on.

Won’t be able to play Yotei until Saturday 😭😭 DHL once again proving they’re the absolute worst.

I will lose weight. I must hold myself accountable. Need to get fit for my health but also so I don’t hate taking photos.

Hello insomnia, my old friend. It’s been a while. Regrettable you chose a Sunday night/Monday morning before a long week of travelling for work. Regrettable indeed.

At a Scottish Highland festival in central Germany (AfD land) and an American woman is singing the Fields of Athenry (an Irish song) in German. I’m so confused.

Super niche post here but as lovely as it is on her, I do wish the Princess of Wales would wear something other than the Lovers Knot tiara. She wore the Strathmore Rose back in 2023 and it looked absolutely gorgeous on her.

Woman in my carriage giving someone on her team the rudest verbal bollocking I’ve heard in a long time. Always sounds worse in German too. Time and place, lady. Saying his name and saying “a shit presentation, yet again from you, why am I not surprised” … this isn’t the flex you think it is.

Think it says a lot about the actual targets of McGregor’s “campaign” that he posted about his “withdrawal” at 3.30am Irish time

Hostage is brutal. Stiff acting. Unrealistic plot. And yet strangely compelling.

Ok FINE I’ll buy a Switch 2.

Someone posted the video of Kirk getting shot into a group chat I’m in and Jesus. No way was he surviving that. Horrific way to go. It feels like we’re in the Bad Place and never going to get out of it.

Why yes, I would like to preorder AirPods Pro 3, thank you. I use my AirPods Pro 2 as hearing aids (I’m too vain to wear actual ones) so every little improvement helps.

Today was the Mondayest Monday and I fully deserve the beer I am now imbibing.

Nothing makes you realise that you’re a basic gay more than having to type out your Starbucks order to your husband who is passing one on his walk. It’s like 3 sentences long.

Almost over my illness just as my parents in law visit for 5 days. 🫠

I can’t stop hate watching that Meghan lifestyle show on Netflix. It’s so … saccharine and that type of “American fake” that is so obvious to everyone but Americans I think. I don’t think that it’s necessarily because of Meghan either. I don’t think she helps but it’s not all her. Her guests too.

Laid low with Covid (can’t believe this is still a thing??) and I need sweet treats but my husband refuses to get me sweet treats because “they’re not good for you especially when you’re sick”. But I also can’t leave the house to buy my own sweet treats. Grounds for divorce??

Vote Labour, get Tory.

Logging in to Bluesky after a few days to find out people thought DJT was dead??? Because he hadn’t gone outside in THREE days? If that’s the criteria then get the coals ready cos I’m ready to be 6ft under. I disappear for weeks at a time.

I’m off this week but my husband isn’t so I’ve spent it so far doing diy stuff (installed a kitchen light among other things, v masc) and hanging out at the local shopping mall people watching and having iced coffee and yeah I get why people do this in retirement. Very chill.

Had my Spotify on shuffle and Fields of Athenry came on and then I randomly teared up and idk you guys I think I might be homesick a little.

One final day of travel and then I’m off for a week. Needed.

Look, I fancy/appreciate Jonathan Bailey as much as the next guy with a pulse but it’s time to be honest. He is visibly, obviously, far too old to be playing Fiyero. He looked like a guy in his 30s in Wicked. He’s supposed to be 18!

4 days this week and then I’m not back until September. Let’s do this.

RIP Terence Stamp 😢💔 you were magnificent

Terence Stamp has died and that makes me sad. Rewatch of Priscilla necessary more than ever.

Had a bit too much to drink last night and went shopping on Ralph Lauren at 3am so my headache today is less from booze and more from poverty.

Think I’m due a visit to London soon. Been a couple of years now. Just me, and empty suitcase, and hours to spend in bookshops.

Me: Can I have an iced coffee please? Barista: We don’t have any left I’m afraid. I can offer you an Aperol Spritz or some ice cold chocolate milk with whipped cream? *my inner alcoholic and inner child starts battling out* Me: Chocolate Milk please 🙏

4 day week but all 4 days spent in a different city. Genuinely hate weeks like these.

Was out for anniversary dinner tonight and my husband looked into my eyes and said the following heartbreaking words: “You have a couple of grey hairs in your beard” RIP my youth ☠️

The Polari Prize is supposed to lift up the voices of the marginalised, instead they’re platforming an author who wants to further the horrific oppression being pressed upon our trans siblings. Utter disgrace. Complete solidarity with those pulling their books from the long-list.

Today is my 4th wedding anniversary. This is one of my favourite candid, non-professional shots. Look at how happy and smug I am. All married. Much love now and forever to my wonderful husband ❤️

Takeout for the third night in a row? Well if it’s the third night in a row I’ve come home after 11 hours in the office, then yes.

Me: I’m afraid I cheated on you in my dream last night. Husband: With who? Me: Henry Cavill. Husband: Well I’d be more annoyed if you had the opportunity with him and didn’t tbh. True love ❤️

Matt not GMing!!! For an entire campaign!!! Excited and nervous 👀👀

Well that’s one way to learn of our impending doom. Thanks Amazon.

Me: I think I’m getting more liberal as I get older, contrary to the old adage you get more conservative. Also me after looking at my annualized tax statement for the first time ever really: I pay HOW MUCH in salary tax?!?

Jack Sparrow (Lonely Island and Michael Bolton) still slaps. On my daily playlist. Michael Bolton thoroughly underrated with today’s yoof. Feel for him with his recent health troubles. What a talent he was.

He defined an entire genre. If it weren’t for Ozzy and Black Sabbath, who knows what heavy metal would look like today. RIP.

Untamed on Netflix is fine but (a) I’m getting tired of “cop with a tragic past who acts like an asshole” tropes (see also Dept Q) and (b) I was left deeply unsatisfied with the ending. Just didn’t like it at all. 3/5.

Jesus, Julian McMahon dead. He was no age.

Out of office on. Finally.

38°C today in a country without the infrastructure for that kind of heat. Not being funny, but how can people work in those conditions with no aircon, in buildings generally built to retain heat.

I took pole in Austria once. Not sure it’s the same thing but good for him.

These photos bring such joy to my heart. We’re here, we’re queer, and we’re not going anywhere. Ever. You won’t force us back into the closet.

I haven’t used Grindr in over a decade but when I heard the alert in my hairdressers this morning (from another patron’s phone) I still instinctively reached for my phone. It’s Pavlovian.

I’d like to go back in time and strangle past Chris for agreeing to a 07:30 hair appointment. In Pride Week. Utter moron.
