cats, occasional tennis, cats, books, cats, stationery, wrestling, and let’s face it, more cats. same panic, different disco. eat the rich.
I feel like I have the beginnings of a sore throat and this better be the leftover of talking (and karaoke) all weekend because if I get sick like I did at Christmas again, I am going full feral (as soon as I can stand upright again).

My neighbour just dropped by to pick up a parcel and I apologised in advance for the window noise on Thursday. He said he's currently working nights and he'll just sleep through it with earplugs, but now I'm going to be twitching at every bang and drill knowing he's trying to sleep. 🙃

Ahhhhh new windows on Thursday!!!!

When someone says they didn't know all the steps needed for a process and you look back in your emails and you've sent them the handbook explaining said (short, six step) process twice before. 🙃

Jfc GAME’s closing as well. I’ve only been in once recently (to ask if they sold Pokémon cards; they did not) but I used to be in there all the time as a teenager. We’ve lost Lancaster’s HMV recently too. Ugh why does everything suck.

No, Joanie closed! I bought a t-shirt last year that I love but it’s too big and I almost bought a smaller size last month and procrastinated it because I was trying to be good. Should’ve gone for it. 😢

Thought I’d watch a bit of Raw but the recap of Roman winning the Rumble annoyed me enough that I’m tapping out ten minutes in. 🙃

Just walked down the hall without turning the light on and accidentally booted Padmé who was sitting in the middle of the floor without making a sound. 😩

Strong Ever After vibes from this season of Bridgerton and I love Ever After so I’m very much enjoying it.

I should’ve saved a day off for today because spending all weekend at a hen do and then having my mother here means I am very, very tired and feel like I’ve had no weekend. 🙃 Three/four day weekends when.
February 2, 2026 at 9:49 AM
My mum let Padmé run outside before she’d had breakfast so of course she immediately ate grass and of course she immediately ran upstairs when she came back in and of course she threw it up on my bedroom carpet when I was in the bathroom and couldn’t stop her. 🙃

Oh Angharad’s is my favourite. The colours and the artwork is beautiful. #PotteryThrowdown

I remember a college professor of mine going on a rant about how the world was owned and ruined by “five old white men on yachts”

And I remember thinking, well, it’s probably more that people don’t examine their own actions, it’s not like a couple of people control the world

But you know what

Had a fun weekend in Edinburgh but I’m so happy to be home with a cup of tea and #PotteryThrowdown

My electric & gas bill was more expensive than I expected last month. 😑 I maybe wasn't quite as careful as in December but I'm still freezing all day every day working from home. Some days the heating's not even on for two hours in total. This country's basic services are a joke.

Love the coffee kiosk at Haymarket called Timorous Beastie. I do wish I lived in Scotland.

Had a very brief walk to look at the castle so my brain would feel like it'd actually been to Ediburgh. Aaaaand now going for the train. 🙃 I'm so tired.

I can't work out how to turn the super noisy fan in my room off but that might be a blessing because there's dance music thumping through from somewhere. 🙃

...well just reading that #RoyalRumble ending is excruciating and I'm actually glad I was yelling Mr Brightside at hen do karoke instead of watching it.
January 31, 2026 at 10:57 PM
I don't hate the women's Royal Rumble winner (yes I was checking in on Netflix on my phone at hen do dinner 😬) but it is kind of annoying that literally everyone said it was going to happen and then it... happened. Could we have some surprise somewhere please.
January 31, 2026 at 8:38 PM
I've been up since half seven and got to say, I'm flagging. But we haven't even had dinner yet 🙃

Naked man life drawing class complete. 😅 (we were told "boozy art class" by the hen do planner and I was immediately 'yep I know what that'll be' and it was 😂).
January 31, 2026 at 2:17 PM
No. 😢

Noooo I just tested a cupcakes and all the chocolate chips sank to the bottom. 😢 I didn’t think to roll them on flour, I just dumped them in. Argh.

Hen do cupcakes seem to have come out okay. 🤞🏻 the meringue icing works whenever my mother turns up with the electric hand mixer (I used to use my housemate’s shitty old one so now I need to buy one 🙃)
