A lovely pub where my mam lives is asking for donations of unwanted Christmas baubles so an awesome display they did this year can be even better next year. I’ve managed to find 5 bags full to give to them! I’ll be sad to see some go but also excited to visit them when the time comes.

I watched the new Wallace and Gromit film yesterday. Much better than expected when something return after a long time. And loved the little jokes. TV presenter called ‘Anton Deck’!

Strange sense of excitement tonight, like I’m off for Christmas. I’m not, yet, but my brain has decided Christmas has started.

Amused by some scissors I bought a few days ago. Strong plastic cable tie around them keeping them closed and secure before use. ‘What you need to get into those,’ I thought to myself ‘is some scissors. Oh, wait…’

What’s going on with this trend for stuff sprouting out the top of Christmas trees? Like they’ve grown a Beaker (Muppets) haircut? I’d never seen it until 2 weeks ago and now it’s everywhere I go!

Colleague bought me a couple of pineapple tarts today. He’s the best.

Despite not being a regular cinema goer, in the space of two days I’ve seen Paddington in Peru and Conclave. Bit of a contrast! Paddington wasn’t that great compared to the previous ones but would recommend Conclave. Tense, interesting and well acted.

A YouTuber I like just described a video from 2004 as “looking like it was filmed on a potato” and it’s making me giggle. Those were the days!

My last ‘let’s see if I can make a go of this’ post was apparently 7 months ago… Um. Let’s see if I can make another go of it?

Okay. So. Downloaded the app in an attempt to make myself use this place more, rather than logging into the website every couple of months. Fingers crossed!

Just been in a room for a few hours called The Cube for a work event, but it wasn’t a cube, it was rectangle shaped. So it was a cuboid. (Had to check, thanks Google.) It bothered me.

A lot of good news in this past week though. New Libertines album release date confirmed and some little gigs on the horizon!

I’m here. I really am. Apart from that I just had to sign in again because I’d been away long enough for me to chuck me out.

While I’ve been away, I also started a tarot instagram, not to give readings or anything but just because I like posting pretty cards and talking about them.

Just realised how many codes I have to give out here… Right. Gonna see if I can peer pressure a few friends!
October 2, 2023 at 6:49 PM
Argh! I’ve let this lapse for a few days. Gonna post here properly, yes I am.

My sense of smell has returned, post-Covid! Hurrah!

I didn’t have that symptom the first time around and scared myself reading that it could take weeks, months or not at all. Thinking of anyone who’s suffered with this for a long time, it’s really disconcerting.

Seriously, YouTube tarot readings are addictive. Pick a pile; here’s your message. Even if only for entertainment, it’s hard not to watch!

Been to a local music festival this weekend and saw my faves for the first time in almost a year!

My dog almost couldn’t finish a poop today because a butterfly flew past and startled her.

Feeling frustrated today. The week should be winding up but it’s actually pretty much a road block.

There was a hostel I stayed in a few times in my early 20s called Bluesky. I even chose it as the setting for a fanfic I started but never finished for a pairing I wrote prolifically at the time. So there’s that. Good omen?
