Visiting New Zealand, but reading O'Hagan's Caledonian Road. It's so quintessentially London, I feel like I've taken my city on holiday with me.

Finished The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and started The Starmer Project. One YA dystopian fiction, one political biography - both about the making of Machiavellian, despotic leaders. NGL, it's kind of frying my brain.

Just got the maddest notification on my phone.
I was actually on a school trip today, so I suspect this was in a child's bag, but I'm really glad to know android will have my back in this small way if I ever do get a stalker.

Earlier, a red admiral landed on my shoulder and then flew off with the hump a few seconds later.
Note to self: stop wearing flower print at the allotment.

Just had the most passive aggressive builder's merchant experience ever. Do any other women experience breathtaking sexism when they're trying to buy stuff from hardware shops?

Why does Wes Streeting think he has any kind of say on what the strike does or doesn't undermine? These people.

Genuinely, what would I do without you tube? Need to find the filter in my washing machine. You tube. Dishwasher not draining? You tube. Need to prune an apple tree? You tube. Water leaking out of the fridge? You tube. How do I replace the strimmer wire? You tube. Fixing a flat tyre. You tube.

France reiterates its military equipment isn’t used in Gaza as dock workers block shipment to Israel
Protest by dock workers highlights the growing pressure on European governments to convince Israel to either scale back or end its bombing campaign in Gaza.

Just sitting on a bus, on my way to Kentish town, wondering what planet Starmer is living on, because this doesn't feel like no island of strangers to me.

I'm on the bus, about to dive into the prologue of this book that my mate Lucy lent me. Just tried to use my thumb and forefinger to zoom in on the window to get a better look at the figure standing in it. Too much time on my phone clearly. @garyseconomics.bsky.social

Just univited myself to a Christmas social when I realised it's one of four that I was to be attending next week, the impact on my bank balance is going to be bad enough, let alone my poor little introverted brain
