Living my best midlife crisis surrounded by books, music, cats and tea and sharing my opinions on all of them.
I don’t understand how I have managed to hit an “Autumn Slump” on the first day of autumn! (I’ve only just discovered this is a thing after googling it what germs I might have).
I am so much a summer person, 1st September has me hitting a wall head on 🫣

Today I was bitten by a seagull!!
Sadly that’s not the most ridiculous injury I’ve had but it’s up there!
I’m now sporting a bandaged finger and on antibiotics and I’m still fuming it assaulted me and stole my sandwich.

Have a big scary day tomorrow. So incredibly grateful that it’s only my healthy I’m afraid will take the hit and I don’t have to worry about paying for a diagnosis as well. #NHS #UniversalHealthCare

Started a little rewatch of #TheWestWing and it just made me sad. I honestly believe the #Bartlett is the greatest #POTUS there ever has been, even when riding his bike into trees!

Three episodes through #AppleCiderVinegar on @netflix.com and it’s wild! Reminds me of Anna Delvey / Sorokin #InventingAnna. Looking forward to the rest of the series and also the documentary about Belle Gibson that’s released today.

I’ve just started re-reading this one time dystopian classic and find it even more terrifying that it’s no longer unrealistic! Everything is so relatable, I may never steep again #HandmaidsTale #NoliteTeBastardesCarborundrum

Documentary binge over the past couple of day.
The Boyzone doc from
Sky Documentaries and it was heartbreaking and Louie Walsh is a sociopath!
Just finished Marilyn Manson doc from C4 and that was terrifying! He is a psychopath.
Both eye opening in very different ways #MusicDocs #DayOffBinge

Finally read #WolfHall by #HilaryMantel and I really enjoyed it. I love a bit of #Tudor crazy but reading it from #Cromwells perspective was a great way to throw a different light on a story we know well.
Keeping my Tudor renaissance and started #TheSixWivesOfHenryVIII by #AlisonWeir next….

So I’ve finished #OnyxStorm and it wasn’t as good the others but it did get my mind going….

My theories - Violet turned venin as a child, her dad dedicated her to Dunne to “cure” her but too much power too young left her with weakness, like Andarna’s wing.

Every disaster movie starts with scientists being ignored. Good thing we’re not doing that.

Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity.
A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.
