Completely lost Thursday, Friday and OG weekend plans due to a horrid cold - so made the most of it at home. Fence repaint, half the garden weeded, plants planted and repotted and a completely private cinema screening for £4.60 for two. Not such a wasted weekend after all.

It's my 40th birthday tomorrow! I keep thinking I should probably feel properly grown up by now, but I really don't. Cheers all!

Never, ever going to Crofton. Sorry Croftonites - I'm sure it's a lovely town - but absolutely not when shadow man is absolute! @dannyrobins.bsky.social
I normally scoff at the end of @dannyrobins.bsky.social #Uncanny when he says "Don't have nightmares", but the 'Shadow Man' episode properly shook me up. Listening to the @bbcsounds.bsky.social podcast has only made it worse! I can't imagine how terrifying that experience must have been for Julian.

Had a bloody wonderful time at #Birmingham Light Festival launch tonight. Took some time to tour around some of the fabulous installations, as we're away at the weekend. Do check it out if you're around town, especially the silent disco on Centenery Square!

We've been to every (I think) @phlaimeaux.bsky.social gig in Brum and Wolves over the last 15 years - but tonight was definitely one of the absolute best! Still giggling on the train home.

It's been a while, but excited to see @phlaimeaux.bsky.social at Town Hall once again! Ready for beefs, bleeps and bicycles! #Birmingham

The Vinted gods are really coming up with the goods for my Mardi Gras themed 40th birthday party. Managing to find loads of stuff in the UK, just no baby for the king cake as yet!

Today we went to the cinema to see The Presence. It had very similar vibe to 'A Ghost Story', but I found it gripping and moving. Now a break from films to play some board games!
A good film weekend. Last night was The Canal (standard ghost story) and Grave Encounters (found footage, low budget but quite fun) - both very watchable, but the outright winner was the disturbing and captivating @philtippett.bsky.social Mad God (Stop motion horror). Glorious and highly recommended

So, after less than a year of being at risk of redundancy and switching job, I have been put 'At Risk' of redundancy. What a bother. Trying to keep my chin up, but I'm pretty gutted about the whole thing. Hate job hunting. #redundancy #jobsearch

Love a #Stirchley Sunday session. Started strong with the swap shop at Attic (got a copy of Munchkin) and then pints at Birmingham Brewing. So nice now it's more mild out.

Was feeling a bit 'meh' today, so did a very Vicky thing and planned some trips. For the first time in my life I have earned a 'reward flight' (mostly from points accumulated from business travel) so I'm off to LAS FREAKING VEGAS! Any tips for a first timer? #LasVegas

Bleached, snipped, filed, painted and pierced. Ready for Christmas (even if I have two more days of work first)!

Went to work's Christmas meal, then came straight home as town felt like all the worst animals had gotten loose from the zoo. Much happier to be cosy, dry and have a fairly unlimited supply of delicious wine at home with Aliens on the box.

Tied for first place with Hangyodon (my other half), but I think we can declare the first play of #HelloKitty Day at the Park a big success!
