Innit. Think the last time I went away for 2 whole weeks was 2002!! Thing I'm most looking forward to is NOT BLOODY COOKING FOR THAT ENTIRE TIME!!!

The Attack of the 50ft Escobar!

Me too. Off to Heathrow tomorrow to jump on a plane for a glorious 2 weeks away.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

I've only painted bluebells once, way back in 2013. Maybe it's about time I had another go?

Madge and Harold from Neighbours, with the text: Just letting you know, if you were born before 1982, you are now older than Madge Bishop when she joined Neighbours... Have a great day!

Today I learned, as I curled into a rotted husk.

She was 43. Harold was 47.

The #totp tag isn't working for me, & yours are the only post with it in my entire feed. What is this devilry?

Is Wikipedia down?

I’m massively cleaning the house in preparation for a visit from a new cat sitter before we go to Tokyo next week, & also a painting of chillies for my next exhibition/brother’s Xmas present

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

Oh my....

Falling out with the pope, starting wars, hugely boastful and a big fat bastard....he's turning into Henry VIII!

POPE LEO XIV: I will not enter into debate. The things that I say are certainly not meant as attacks on anyone. The message of the Gospel is very clear: ‘Blessed are the peacemakers.’

God gjennomgang av situasjonen Ungarn har vært i.

Chicken in lemon and tarragon sauce is lovely, just don't be heavy-handed with the tarragon

According to the Taskmaster subreddit, it took 23 minutes

oh god oh fuck I took the metro to the Tisza rally and all these kids POURED OUT of the train at the stop and started running up the escalators chanting, and briefly held hands with the older people leaving the rally and going down on the escalator, and I think I may actually just cry

Shall be there in 2 weeks' time. But not in 1977, obv.

I thought only my father used the phrase 'windy pops'! He said that was what his parents preferred. He also used 'handy bang-bang' for a hammer and 'ponkin' for a pencil.
