I liked the end of Rizzoli and Isles.
Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

We've changed where the chooks can go and they're having to sleep on their coop instead of the rhododendron.

I watched a thrush on one of the plum trees this morning. Picking off plums and dropping them.
I went over to the window and could then see 4 teenage thrushes eating the dropped fruit.

In 2026, I want one thing – a kidney donated from a living donor for my partner. I've lost sleep over whether I should post this – it's a massive ask. Sometimes I wonder if it's asking too much? But the reality is that I'm unable to donate my kidney, and he has zero family who are in the position

I briefly hooked up with a guy as a teenager who later said he was into me because,
" you have the most thick muscular calves I've ever seen on a slim girl"

I met Deborah Hill-Cone when I was at Prego one day and she told me she liked my (slightly) buck teeth and wished she hadn't had hers fixed.
It was both humiliating and quite charming.

A guy I was going out with told me he really liked that I didn't pluck my eyebrows. (I did pluck my eyebrows).
(This incidentally led to one of my favourite complements, where I told the story to a friend and he was all, "But *list of actual traits and abilities* and he picked THAT?!"

It's that refecting and goal setting time of year.
Except I'm not really much good at either.
I'm very much a look forward person but with no long term planning.
I'm essentially a chaos gremlin who loves order but doesn't create it.
I love a list but only for 1 days tasks 🤣
