The miles I’ve run to this song…

It was usually *about* people complaining about Brookside! 😂

I saw that film when I was about the same age as the girls in it, courtesy of a man about the same age as the bloke in it 😬

Had a rare dream about school PE last night. Bullies, you got to me enough to still be in my subconscious 30 years later, but not enough to prevent me from laughing about what a dull old cliche that is…

“Three years! You’ve got a degree in me!”
OH: “Is it a BA or a BSc…?”

Hello there, just organising my thoughts for my talk about difficulty organising my thoughts…

Headline that reads “It’s not perimenopause, it’s patriarchy.”

*Narrator voice*: “It’s both

My dad’s just had his major surgery* postponed a second time. He was in his gown ready to go into theatre and he’s been sent home. Unbelievable.

*it’s preventative, he’s fine

Realised today that I could sing “We’re having a doomscroll” to the tune of Black Lace’s “We’re having a gang bang...” You’re welcome.

As a former journalist, this is bang on…

I had multiple health problems as a baby and was in and out of hospital til age 2. Spoiler alert: it didn’t make me iller, it’s how I’m alive. Although, right now, that regrettably means having to read headlines like this every other day…

I know! 🤯🤯

Also! Do not, ever, under any circumstances, send out a marketing email in the style of a jury summons, WTAF

I want a shiny face like Katya Adler’s #bbcnews

One of my maternal uncles is married to a Hungarian.
A very happy one right now, I think. 🇭🇺

With my dad. He nearly just ordered a “straight white” when he meant flat white…

Dean Burnett provides a short reel about why we humans insist on sharing our homes with arrogant, belligerent, ruthless predators. Who are also cute.

Instead of being served 50 posts a day about how terrible perimenopause is going to be, can I just find one doctor who specialises in ADHD and women’s health without having to sell a kidney?

Fruhjarsmudigkeit: A temporary feeling of tiredness and low energy that some people experience when winter transitions into spring

Your German lesson for today… 🇩🇪

Personally, I always got the impression that “and I feel fine” was more about conveying numbness than actual peace or confidence in the face of the end of the world as we know it. No idea why that’s on my mind now, though.

Bf loves this film - he’s into film noir and it’s one of his favourites. Plot holes you could drive a car through, but I enjoyed it

I read the news today, oh boy.

In the early 2000s, I came across a blog by a British woman called I Hate Music, which was a collection of rants about why every music act ever known was terrible. File under “Person experiencing what we now call hyperfocus who could’ve done with a guiding hand on how to use it better…”

Fact fans: The most views I’ve had for anything I’ve ever put on the internet is probably a YouTube clip of a Midsomer Murders episode from 2004 which had Ruth Jones pre-Gavin and Stacey in it…
