Cats, dogs, outdoors, silliness. UK but you know what Virginia Woolf said.
Feel sorry for the future historians trying to read my diary to understand these apocalyptic times, deciphering my terrible handwriting, randomly added letters & spelling words like bothe withe an e for some reason, only to discover its 90% dog content, 9% tv reviews and 1% reflecting on The Horrors

The Met Office are letting us submit our own storm name suggestions:
www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...
There's space for five names in the submission boxes.
Let's go with:
Exxon Mobil
BP
Shell
Equinor
Chevron
At last, those companies will get the recognition they deserve.
Pls retweet!

These days, you gaze into an abyss they say you're leering - they cancel you. I try to tell them, I say, the abyss, it's gazing back. It's mutual. But no. We used to be a proper country, fighting monsters. Now gaze upon our works and despair.
Because of woke.
