PSA ๐Ÿ“ข for anyone with a car breakdown cover renewal coming up: my 2026 renewal was going to be a whopping ยฃ320.99, so I went online, got a quote from their main competitor for ยฃ108, and called them up.

Last year, I had the middle seat between a couple in window & aisle who wouldn't move up because neither of them wanted the middle seat. So I had to sit there the whole 4 hours to Greece while they bickered, yakked & passed things to each other across me ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Was going to reply to this with a Strong View, then I read it again & realised, it's not about airports at all, it's about managing life as part of a couple.

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

Every year, the foxes of North Edinburgh target one of my tulip containers for their nightly cavortings, bone-buryings and (ahem) all the rest. This year, they picked on the tub of Tulipa Grand Perfection. But hey, five out of twenty ain't bad, right?

Only In The Past

I dreamed I saw you
You were down at the corner store

And you flew out the door

You're with me only in the past ๐Ÿค
