I did feel ever so slightly queasy afterwards, I must confess.
But it was DELICIOUS!

Left-over whipped cream from making your Vic Sponge at the weekend? Put it in a hot chocolate, you say?
Oh, alright then...
🤤😋

In a 1991 documentary that Trump suppressed, Christopher Reeve comments on Donald Trump:

It's structurally more cream and jam than sponge, but it is absolutely BANGING!
I did an all-in-one method, nothing fancy. It's a bit greasy, and collapsed in the middle, but it fits the brief of 'Vic sponge'.

BEHOLD! My Victoria sponge.
It is undercooked in the middle, but still delish.

I am ON IT!

Lol, thought it was around 2 or 3pm.
Just looked at the clock.
Ye gads! It's nearly aperitif time, and I hadn't even noticed!

(Why yes, in my mind you are entirely one-dimensional and only like capybaras...)

Today I've done two loads of laundry, weeded the garden, mowed the lawn, edged the borders, watered the pots and am about to bake a cake.

Such levels of domesticity don't happen that often in Mouse House!

Perhaps time for a white wine spritzer to celebrate?? 🤣

Paging @dochackenbush.bsky.social - these Beanie Babies at my local CoOp...

Realise I've got 4 eggs that need using.
"Oooh," I think to myself, "I'll make a simple Viccy sponge."

Reader, the eggs were actually the <only> ingredient I actually had in order to make said cake.
Am now off to the supermarket for the 2nd time today, for caster sugar...
🙄😆

Hey Mickey! Bugger off!
Lolly.

I fucking hate Sixpence None The Richer. Something about her voice sets my teeth on edge... #totp

"#TOTP would like to thank ISIS, Nottingham"

You wot, mate?!

Lou Bega is German, doncha know?

A CRACKING TUNE. Love it.

This DJ Jean fuzzy camerawork is making me dizzy. STOP IT.

Also, the crowd going "oooop oooop" every third and fourth beat can fuck right off.

I thought this last week, yeah. It's a nice nod.

OK, so Bluesky Feeds tagged #totp isn't working that well.
But still! We get to 'enjoy' this 'song' by A1.
Neither 'enjoy' or 'song' are quite the words I'm after...

Bluesky FEEDS! #totp search is back, baby!
(As is Shania Twain. Again.)

Well this is distinctly less fun watching #totp without also seeing all your bitchy/complimentary hot takes.

It's enough to drive me to drink... wait... I've already got one! 😎

Martine McCutcheon? Seemingly singing LIVE?
My ghast is truly flabbered. #totp

I've got my rum, ginger & lime, and a vague hope that this site will work for Friday #totp funsies!

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection.

So forgive me if I smell a rat.

Started work (cleaning) at 08:45. 30 mins lunch. Finish at 17:00. Over to my cousin's for an hour to clean his new place. 30 mins to cook and eat dinner. Vac and mop entirety of my own house.
20:45 finish.
Aside from the driving, that's amost 12 hours of cleaning.
I. Am. Done. In.

I have seen a lot of NIMBY selfishness in my time, but "my convenience matters more than cancer care" is a new low. Quite seriously tempted to email them and tell them as much.

She reportedly parted ways with Bezos with a jaw-dropping $38.3 billion in Amazon stock. Their divorce settlement included a 4 % stake in the online retail giant or 19.7 million shares. Under the agreement, Bezos kept 75% of the couple's Amazon stock, along with voting control of her shares. Jan 11, 2023

MacKenzie Scott has given away over $19 billion in the last 5 years and experts say she's 'changed entire fie... MacKenzie Scott acknowledged another $2 billion in donations as 2024 comes to a close.

MacKenzie Scott, worth $41.1 billion, is on a philanthropic tear and has donated an estimated 46% of her net worth.

Just to give a sense of the insane scale of billions of dollars…MacKenzie Scott got about $38 billion after divorcing Bezos in 2019. She has become the world’s most generous philanthropist, giving away over $19 billion…and she’s currently wealthier than she started.

Just. Tax. Them.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

That thing going round of "your fave film when you were 18?"
I win, because it was this gem:
