Listening to the latest @mikemuncer.bsky.social and Stacy twin peaks podcast and recalling the Bob blob pinball incident 1st time round vs now. Then: somehow, it was dramatic and manic in a good way. Now: the stupidest thing I've seen on TV, and I love Twin Peaks. open.spotify.com/episode/1jHE...

Mood lifting fragrance, my arse.

Am planning a re-read of Leonard and Hungry Paul this summer (when time and TBR allows!), one of my favourite books of recent years. Look forward to the TV series.

We are not always alert to our stress levels. If we reflect on our behaviours we may observe signals that give a measure of them. For example, I recognise I have, of late, been rude to my cat.

His Royal King The Charles 3 has his official birthday during this. An avid fan of queer horror, he'll be delighted with the timing.
