I wear a lot of wool. Not set fire to the kitchen for years now. Cats and hens can dispose of evidence: they are thorough but slow. Denizen of #Wulferhampton. In real world North West England. Mostly happy.
I have accidentally (deliberately) put a bid in for a 1916 mounted fox mask. It is winning so far.
How do I:
a. Explain this to Mrs Mac
b. Convince her that I was sober when I did so (I was)
c. Work out where to put the chuffing thing.

Mrs Mac has a sister.
Mrs Mac's sister is a little large.
Mrs Mac has suddenly started thinking about her sister's bra size.
I feel like I am with a feminine Withnail, uttering the female equivalent of, "Imagine the size of his balls."

Right, it's gone five.
Not had a drink yet, but i think the prospect of alcohol later will strengthen my resolve.
I'm going to read that Guardian interview with Danny Kruger.
Wish me luck.

Sleep well.
I shall wake intermittently and check the cricket score.

Saw what I thought was a splinter of firewood.
It turned out to be a bit of Bombay mix i must have dropped an hour or so ago.
I ate it.
Applause please: I've found a new low.

I want to carry on reading Barrowbeck by Andrew Michael Hurley, but Mrs Mac is watching TotP.
I don't feel that 80s pop would add anything to the folk horror atmosphere, so I'll wait.
InXS are on. I was right.

Today I used Copilot to transcribe hand written post-it notes. A few errors but really saved time.
I then let it loose on my meeting notes.
Not a chance; I may as well have asked for a recipe for Marmite aardvark in Serbian.
It may end up that the only thing preventing AI domination is my writing.

Does anyone else ever hear or read something from the Book of Revelation and think, "Bloody hell! He must've been stoned off his tits!"?

Team away day thing in London. Had time for a browse in Waterstones. Caught short & couldn't find a loo. Nipped into UCL.
I can report that the gents lavvie in the South Cloister is still in the same place it was 35 years ago, when I last used it.
And some people think my education was wasted.

Sadly to report that 'Inside the World's Most Luxurious Cruises' is a programme about ships and not, as I rather hoped, a film of Tom Cruise's colonoscopy.

Am listening to Beatles Go Baroque: Beatles songs in the styles of Handel, Vivaldi and Bach.
Interesting and actually rather fun.

Ate veggie sossidges. Idea for a culinary themed quiz show called "What's That Sausage?" Contestants (obvs) identify the sausage by taste & smell.
Deal breaker is any Giles Coren involvement. He's only allowed if he's the sausage fart identifier. He's the right height.
