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.

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.

I've been up since half seven and got to say, I'm flagging. But we haven't even had dinner yet 🙃

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 🙃)

Found my travel bag packed neatly away in a random box so I don’t have to run to TK Maxx to buy one (my bank account is crying grateful tears because this month has a hen do, a wedding, and a wine tasting 💀)

Oh no, one of the questions was ‘if your brain had a hold music what would it be’ and I immediately went ‘Shake your whammy fanny funky song funky song, shake your whammy fanny fuuuuuuunky song.’ 🙃 …I can’t even disagree, it’s what I sing when I’m concentrating or distracted.

I’m watching David Dastmalchian’s Grave Conversations because Cody Rhodes is on it and. I don’t know how I feel about watching an interview where they’re both lying in literal caskets because. This feels like something that would be on the tv in a futuristic dystopian dark comedy.

I’m so proud of myself for not giving into temptation and walking up the hill instead of getting a taxi, despite buying too much in Sainsburys. I did it and it was fine and I did almost 8000 steps, a lot of them uphill so.

I can’t work out how Pets at Home have worked out my last order because the prices don’t seem to add up and are wrong online vs the confirmation email, except definitely paid for flea treatment and the rest of the order arrived almost a week ago but no flea treatment yet. 🙃

It really is a crime that more people didn’t see the Comedy Central series Threesome. I’m rewatching the evil fridge episode and the quotes are so, so good (I have ‘I don’t have secrets, I tweet too much’ on a t-shirt and I’m sad it’s no longer accurate after the death of Twitter).

It really is incredibly annoying that the only way to get to read the specific thing you want is to write it and actually finish it. (The finishing bit is my downfall)

I’m catching up on #WWERaw over lunch and Reddit was complaining that Austin Theory is lurking on the edges of The Vision not looking like he’s part of the group and it’s like… could that actually be intentional because he’s Seth’s plant. They’re signposting that he doesn’t fit. Come on.

Could everyone stop chasing me for stuff for ONE DAY so I can catch up. Jfc. I need at least two weeks where people are banned from emailing me asking for more things.

Half an hour after I bucketed most of the water out of the garden to the drain around the corner, it’s just as bad again. 🙃

Garden had flooded but my trench warfare had kept it mostly off the patio, despite me realising that the shared car park was in fact draining all the water into my garden because the kerb is too low. 🙃 So cleared drains, bucketed a LOT of water, built a (mostly ineffective) barrier to the car park.
