I like the idea behind Bluesky, but it's just dead. Very few friends of mine on here.

I won't ever be going back to Facebook, but not sure there's much point in persevering here... 😕

Came home to the weirdest noise inside my house - which sounded to me like machinery. Eventually traced it to the Google speaker...

-"Hey Google, what's playing?"
-"This is the sound of an oscillating fan! 😃"

How'd that happen?! 😯

I was with Mum for an appointment with her eye specialist today - and it went well. Highlight of our day, though, was hearing another patient being called forward - Mr Snowball! 🤭 Ever since we got out of earshot, we've been laughing like a pair of school kids! 🤣🤣

Just back from seeing The Importance of Being Earnest starring Ncuti Gatwa as event cinema. An absolute treat! ☺️

Set my alarm last night thinking today would be Friday, which is an earlier start for me. So I woke up to the double disappointment of being woken too early, and remembering it was only Thursday 😞

Since when did "sleet" become "wintry mix" in weather forecasts?

Just imagined a parody of The Addams Family where Thing is actually a black cat's paw, doing cat things (nudging items off tables, scratching furniture, swatting anyone who comes too close, etc). Would be kinda funny ☺️ #cats #theaddamsfamily

Just nuked my #Facebook account after using it since 2009. It felt like a big step - a big loss, even - but the recent hostile changes in policy affecting the #LGBT community (particularly #trans and #nonbinary folk), and the worsening tone of posts since then, were outrageous. Had to be done. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

Hello, world!

So... this is the place to talk about David Lynch (RIP). Mulholland Drive was one of my three all-time favourite movies ♥️
