I wear a lot of wool. Not set fire to the kitchen for years now. Cats and hens can dispose of evidence: they are thorough but slow. Denizen of #Wulferhampton. In real world North West England. Mostly happy.

Goodnight all. I shall ignore @sitebadger.bsky.social 's sage advice and take a large brandy. Radio 3 and book still in play.
Sleep well.

Watching footy.
Commentator said England had been dogged. Mrs Mac looked alarmed and asked who'd been dogging.
That's the thing when you are only half listening.

Am listening to Beatles Go Baroque: Beatles songs in the styles of Handel, Vivaldi and Bach.
Interesting and actually rather fun.
Another one to blame Radio 3 for.

Ate veggie sossidges. Idea for a culinary themed quiz show called "What's That Sausage?" Contestants (obvs) identify the sausage by taste & smell.
Deal breaker is any Giles Coren involvement. He's only allowed if he's the sausage fart identifier. He's the right height.

Heading up to bed
It's impossible to feign sobriety if going up at this time.
Good night all. At least I haven't spent the evening roundly abusing a troll with increasingly obscene messages, like I did on twitter last night.
Account now dead: went out in a blaze of profane glory.
No regrets.

Currently trying to appear relatively sober.

I have exercised, showered. Next short visit to pub followed by Thai restaurant.
I say 'visit to pub' but Mrs Mac and daughter aren't quite ready.
I can almost taste the ale!

Anyway, in other news i have just found out that I am working with the offspring of a Tory peer.
Not sure what I should do with this information. Probably not tell anyone else is my default setting.

Had an email from a colleague.
In their signature they have,
"If you would like to know my preferences regarding pronouns,you ate welcome to ask me."
Unsure what to make of this, tbh.
Don't know whether it is supportive of transs and non-binary colleagues, or another way of saying "woke nonsense."

Good morning comrades and fellow Wülferhamptonians!
I have had my dental implants put in at last.
I know I live in a small town, but it does bring it home to one when the Dental Implant Clinic is situated above a chip shop.

Watching BBC Halloween Orchestral Spooktacula.
They played Hedwig's Theme.
For years I associated Hedwig with the film Hedwig and the Angry Inch (musical comedy drama where a gender reassignment is botched leaving an inch stub of penis) rather than an owl: I now wonder if that is why JKR is so ANGRY

Went to see Rich Hall on Friday. No sign of his brother Albert, though.
Good audience interaction. Mrs Mac was involved as the only student at the University in the crowd. They both handled it well, esp Mrs Mac.
Got him to sign his book to her as well.

Anyway, after yhe debit card incident, we had a good wander round Whalley Abbey, and into St Mart & All Saints church (appropriate for today). Lovely ruined Abbey, but I am intrigued by "William the Wolf" though. How would a clerical that sobriquet?

I am an idiot.
Driven over to Whalley with daughter to get her a pair of boots.
Left debit card in shorts as I went for a run this morning and wanted to pick something up fron a shop.
So far she's had to spring for her boots and is now buying me lunch still, nice gatehouse.

Have gone old-school.
I'll be honest, he looks more drunk and slightly baffled than scary. Still, he'll fit in.

Last night, I watched someone I knew on YouTube about the Nazis being the original Greens, & how environmentalism led to the holocaust. I had to switch off. It wasn't that his arguments were too challenging; it was that the sight of a middle-aged man pretending to be on TV was overwhelmingly sad.
